DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Atom Egoyan → Canada

His films explore displacement, loss of identity, and the psychological impact of uprootedness through fragmented narratives and emotional alienation.

Andrei Tarkovsky → Soviet Union/Russia

His work profoundly examines exile and spiritual displacement, particularly in films like 'Stalker' and 'Mirror,' reflecting his own experience of artistic censorship and eventual self-imposed exile.
