DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Jean-Luc Godard Switzerland/France

His films like 'Contempt' and 'Band of Outsiders' deconstruct the glamorous French Riviera through a noir sensibility, exposing corruption and moral decay beneath its luxurious surface.

 Claude Chabrol France

A master of psychological thrillers set in Mediterranean locales, Chabrol's works explore bourgeois criminality and hidden darkness in sun-soaked French coastal settings.
