DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Joe Lynch United States

His films like 'Wild at Heart' and 'Mulholland Drive' transform roads and highways into surreal spaces where characters confront identity and desire.

 Wim Wenders Germany

A pioneer of road cinema with works like 'Paris, Texas' and 'Wings of Desire,' he uses journeys and movement as meditations on human connection and alienation.

 Joaquim Dos Santos United States

His films 'My Own Private Idaho' and 'Last Days' explore liminal spaces of roads and highways as settings for existential wandering and social outcasts.
