DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Denis Villeneuve Canada

He directly examines border towns and cross-border crime in works like 'Sicario' and 'Hell or High Water,' exploring the lawlessness and corruption at geographical and institutional boundaries.

 Carlos Reygadas Mexico

His films are deeply rooted in Mexican border culture and landscapes, examining isolation, marginalization, and the spiritual dimensions of life in liminal spaces.
