DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
François Truffaut France

His semi-autobiographical film 'The 400 Blows' is a seminal exploration of adolescent alienation, rebellion, and the roots of delinquency in post-war France.

 Hirokazu Koreeda Japan

Films like 'Shoplifters' and 'Nobody Knows' compassionately examine how socioeconomic circumstances and neglect drive young people toward delinquent behavior.

 Cristian Mungiu Romania

His raw, unflinching documentarian style in films like '4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days' and 'Graduation' portrays the moral compromises and rule-breaking of youth in oppressive systems.
