DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Pedro Almodóvar Spain

His film 'The Law of Desire' and recent work explore isolation, desire, and confined spaces as metaphors for emotional imprisonment.

 Chloé Zhao China/USA

Her intimate, observational style in films like 'Nomadland' captures existential solitude and the human condition during periods of displacement and confinement.
