DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Ken Loach United Kingdom

His social realist films frequently explore pregnancy and motherhood within the context of economic hardship and systemic inequality, as seen in works like 'I, Daniel Blake' and 'Sorry We Missed You'.

 Hirokazu Koreeda Japan

His deeply humanistic cinema examines pregnancy, parenthood, and family bonds with profound tenderness and emotional nuance, particularly in 'Like Father, Like Son' and 'Shoplifters'.

 Claire Denis France

She confronts pregnancy and motherhood with unflinching honesty and sensory intensity, exploring the physical and psychological dimensions of the experience in films like '35 Shots of Rum' and her body of work on maternal ambivalence.
