DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Wim Wenders → Germany

His films obsessively explore physical and spiritual journeys across landscapes, from *Paris, Texas* to *Wings of Desire*, making travel a metaphor for human connection and existential searching.

Agnès Varda → France

She documents movement and displacement through poetic road movies like *Vagabond* and *Jacquot de Nantes*, capturing how travel reveals character and social truths.

Abbas Kiarostami → Iran

His masterpieces *10* and *A Taste of Cherry* unfold almost entirely within moving vehicles, using the journey itself as a canvas for philosophical dialogue and human connection.
