DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Rainer Werner Fassbinder Germany

Though German, his obsessive examination of Austro-Hungarian decadence and fin-de-siècle Vienna's psychological atmosphere profoundly shaped his work.

 Michael Haneke Austria

His films frequently interrogate Austrian identity and the historical legacies of early 20th century Austria through contemporary and historical narratives.
