DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Michelangelo Antonioni → Italy

His films like 'L'Avventura' and 'La Notte' capture the ennui and spiritual emptiness of leisure-filled lives among the affluent.

Yasujirō Ozu → Japan

His contemplative films such as 'Tokyo Story' and 'An Autumn Afternoon' find profound meaning in quiet domestic moments and the passage of unhurried time.

Chloé Zhao → China/USA

Her films like 'The Rider' and 'Nomadland' explore how individuals navigate existence and find purpose in spaces of wandering, stillness, and displacement.
