DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Michelangelo Antonioni Italy

His films obsessively explore ennui, alienation, and the spiritual emptiness of modern leisure through long, meditative sequences that mirror characters' internal stagnation.

 Béla Tarr Hungary

His glacial, hypnotic works immerse viewers in the languorous passage of time and human stagnation, where leisure becomes an existential condition of hopelessness and waiting.
