DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Luchino Visconti → Italy

Visconti's films like 'Death in Venice' and 'The Leopard' capture the decadence and social transformation of Italian coastal and resort settings with operatic grandeur.

Federico Fellini → Italy

Fellini's 'Amarcord' and 'La Dolce Vita' explore the bittersweet atmosphere of Italian resort culture, seaside leisure, and the clash between tradition and modernity.

Michelangelo Antonioni → Italy

Antonioni's 'L'Avventura' and 'La Notte' use Italian resort towns and Mediterranean landscapes to examine alienation and emotional disconnection in modern leisure society.
