DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS

He consistently examines the struggles of working-class soldiers on leave in films like 'Kes' and 'I, Daniel Blake,' focusing on social reintegration and human dignity.

 Hou Hsiao-hsien Taiwan

His meditative style in films like 'The Assassin' and 'Café Lumière' captures the quiet alienation and temporal displacement of individuals caught between duty and civilian existence.
