DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Jean Renoir → France

Through works like 'French Cancan' and 'The Rules of the Game,' Renoir masterfully depicts Belle Époque Parisian society, its cabarets, class structures, and romantic idealism.

Max Ophüls → France/Germany

His elegantly composed films such as 'Lola Montès' and 'The Earrings of Madame de...' evoke the glamour, decadence, and romantic melancholy of the Belle Époque era.
