DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Andrei Tarkovsky Soviet Union/Russia

His films like 'Stalker' and 'Mirror' explore spiritual displacement and the yearning for home through poetic, meditative explorations of memory and alienation.

 Wong Kar-wai Hong Kong

His visually stunning works such as 'In the Mood for Love' and '2046' capture the melancholic essence of distance, nostalgia, and the impossibility of returning to lost homes and loves.

 Hirokazu Koreeda Japan

Films like 'After Life' and 'Shoplifters' tenderly examine what 'home' means through stories of displaced people, makeshift families, and the search for belonging.
