DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
François Truffaut France

His film 'The 400 Blows' and career-long exploration of coming-of-age narratives and artistic mentorship directly engage with how young artists learn from and rebel against their masters.

 Hayao Miyazaki Japan

His films repeatedly feature young protagonists learning from wise elders and masters, while his actual mentorship of Studio Ghibli animators embodies the legacy theme both narratively and institutionally.
