DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Rainer Werner Fassbinder West Germany

His films like 'Ali: Fear Eats the Soul' and work during the Cold War era deeply explore division, alienation, and the psychological impact of a divided Berlin on its inhabitants.

 Wim Wenders West Germany

His masterpiece 'Wings of Desire' is set in divided Berlin and poignantly captures the separation between East and West through the perspective of angels witnessing the city's fragmentation.
