DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Wim Wenders Germany

His films like 'Wings of Desire' and 'Der Himmel über Berlin' poetically explore Berlin's division and the yearning across the wall.

 Rainer Werner Fassbinder Germany

His work deeply examines post-war German identity and the psychological scars of division, particularly in films set in Berlin.
