DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Michelangelo Antonioni Italy

His films explore emotional avoidance and the inability to connect, with characters drifting through alienation and existential emptiness.

 Terrence Malick United States

He examines spiritual avoidance and the human tendency to flee from truth, grace, and authentic relationships through poetic, fragmentary narratives.

 Hong Sang-soo South Korea

His repetitive, cyclical structures reveal characters perpetually avoiding confrontation, commitment, and self-awareness through alcohol and evasion.
