He probed the psychological isolation and spiritual emptiness of individuals in post-war Europe through intensely introspective character studies.

 Andrei Tarkovsky Soviet Union

His meditative, philosophical films examine the alienation of the human spirit in contemporary society through contemplative visual poetry.
