DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Michelangelo Antonioni Italy

His film 'Blow-Up' (1966) epitomizes 1960s counterculture through its exploration of youth alienation, sexual liberation, and the questioning of reality in swinging London.

 Jean-Luc Godard France

His experimental films like 'Weekend' (1967) and 'Contempt' (1965) challenged conventional cinema and embraced the counterculture's iconoclastic spirit through radical form and political critique.
