DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Federico Fellini Italy

His films like 'La Dolce Vita' and '8½' offer vivid, satirical explorations of Roman high society's decadence, artificiality, and spiritual emptiness.

 Luchino Visconti Italy

His historical dramas such as 'The Leopard' and 'Death in Venice' meticulously examine the rituals, aesthetics, and moral complexities of aristocratic elites.

 Michelangelo Antonioni Italy

Films like 'L'Avventura' dissect the alienation and moral ambiguity within wealthy Roman and European society through modernist visual language.
