DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Wim Wenders West Germany

His films like 'Wings of Desire' and 'Der Himmel über Berlin' directly explore the divided Berlin and the invisible wall separating East and West Germany.

 Rainer Werner Fassbinder West Germany

His works, particularly those addressing post-war German identity and politics, deeply examine the psychological and social divisions created by the partition.
