DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Joaquim Dos Santos USA

His films like 'Elephant' and 'Last Days' capture the alienation and purposelessness of contemporary youth through observational, non-judgmental narratives.

 Bernardo Bertolucci Italy

Works such as 'The Dreamers' and 'Before the Revolution' explore the confusion, rebellion, and moral aimlessness of young intellectuals in transitional periods.

 Hong Sang-soo South Korea

His repetitive, cyclical narratives in films like 'Night and Day' and 'The Day After' depict young adults trapped in patterns of aimless drifting and emotional stagnation.
