DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Martin Scorsese USA

Repeatedly crafts narratives of fallen figures seeking redemption and reinvention, from Travis Bickle to Henry Hill to Jake LaMotta.

 Darren Aronofsky USA

Obsessively explores characters clawing their way back from addiction, obscurity, and psychological destruction in films like *The Wrestler* and *Black Swan*.

 Wong Kar-wai Hong Kong

Masterfully depicts characters returning to lost loves, former glory, and bygone eras with lyrical melancholy and resilient hope.
