DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Michelangelo Antonioni Italy

His films like 'L'Avventura' and 'La Notte' are quintessential explorations of existential emptiness and emotional disconnection in modern postwar society.

 Andrei Tarkovsky Soviet Union

Works such as 'Stalker' and 'Mirror' probe deeply into spiritual alienation and the human search for meaning in a fragmented postwar world.

 Robert Bresson France

His austere, spiritually-focused films like 'A Man Escaped' and 'Au Hasard Balthazar' capture the isolation and moral alienation of individuals in postwar Europe.
