DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
David Lynch → United States

His films like 'Wild at Heart' and 'Mulholland Drive' explore the American landscape and cross-country journeys as surreal, psychological odysseys.

Wim Wenders → Germany

A master of road movies ('Paris, Texas', 'Kings of the Road'), Wenders uses travel and displacement to examine identity, alienation, and the human condition.

Jean-Luc Godard → France

His experimental road films like 'Weekend' use cross-country travel as a framework to critique society and deconstruct cinema itself.
