DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Hirokazu Koreeda Japan

His films like 'Like Father, Like Son' and 'Shoplifters' profoundly explore the complexities of paternal bonds, biological versus emotional fatherhood, and what truly defines a father.

 Krzysztof Kieślowski Poland

Films like 'Three Colors: Blue' and 'The Double Life of Véronique' subtly explore paternal absence, legacy, and the invisible threads connecting fathers to their children.
