DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Andrei Tarkovsky Soviet Union

His films like 'Mirror' and 'Stalker' explore psychological fragmentation and existential unease stemming from Soviet postwar experience and collective trauma.

 Béla Tarr Hungary

His bleak, lengthy works saturated in darkness directly confront Eastern European postwar despair, destruction, and the erosion of human dignity.
