DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Jacques Tati France

His films obsessively capture the peculiarities of French urban and suburban spaces, from the chaos of modern Paris to the absurdities of provincial France.

 Jean-Luc Godard France

He transformed Paris and the French landscape into cinematic characters themselves, using location as integral to his exploration of French society and culture.

 Claude Chabrol France

His films deeply interrogate French provincial life and bourgeois society, using small towns and countryside settings as microcosms of French moral complexity.
