DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
François Truffaut France

His films like 'Les 400 Coups' and 'Stolen Kisses' are quintessential explorations of French youth alienation, coming-of-age, and rebellion during the post-1968 era.

 Bertrand Blier France

His provocative films like 'Les Valseuses' (Going Places) captured the anarchic energy, sexual liberation, and disillusionment of 1970s French youth culture.
