DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
François Truffaut France

His films like 'The 400 Blows' and 'Small Change' intimately explore the formative bond between students and teachers as central to human development and emotional growth.

 Hirokazu Koreeda Japan

His contemplative films such as 'Like Father, Like Son' and 'After the Storm' examine how authority figures and mentors shape identity and moral consciousness in subtle, humanistic ways.
