DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Martin Scorsese → USA

His films like Taxi Driver and Mean Streets capture the gritty urban decay and moral ambiguity that defined 1970s American culture.

Sofia Coppola → USA

The Godfather films and Apocalypse Now are quintessential 1970s cinema that explore power, corruption, and the era's political and social upheaval.

Bernardo Bertolucci → Italy

Last Tango in Paris and 1900 intimately document the sexual liberation, class struggle, and artistic experimentation central to 1970s culture.
