DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Yasujirō Ozu Japan

His films like 'Tokyo Story' and 'An Autumn Afternoon' meditate on aging, mortality, and the fading relevance of older generations in modern society with poetic restraint.

 Michael Haneke Austria

Works such as 'Amour' and 'Time of the Wolf' unflinchingly examine physical decay, obsolescence, and the indignities of aging with unflinching emotional precision.

 Hirokazu Kore-eda Japan

Films like 'Shoplifters' and 'Broker' explore how society discards the elderly and marginalized, treating aging individuals as disposable and obsolete.
