DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Michelangelo Antonioni Italy

His films obsessively track characters moving through modernist spaces, where physical displacement mirrors existential drift and emotional disconnection.

 Béla Tarr Hungary

His long takes and slow tracking shots transform passage through desolate landscapes into meditations on time, decay, and the human condition.
