DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Yasujirō Ozu Japan

His films, particularly 'Tokyo Story,' capture the quiet melancholy of aging and lost time through contemplative family dramas that examine how life's pivotal moments slip away.

 Terrence Malick United States

Works like 'The Tree of Life' and 'The Thin Red Line' explore existential regret and the weight of choices through poetic, philosophical meditations on mortality and meaning.

 Hirokazu Kore-eda Japan

His films such as 'After Life' and 'Like Father, Like Son' delicately examine how people confront their regrets and the paths not taken when forced to reflect on their lives.
