DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Andrei Tarkovsky Soviet Union

His films obsessively explore temporal flow and entropy through long takes and decay of memory, history, and human consciousness.

 Michelangelo Antonioni Italy

He examines the erosion of human relationships and meaning in modernist landscapes where time feels suspended and purposeless.

 Abbas Kiarostami Iran

His deceptively simple narratives reveal how time wears on individual lives and societies, with a meditative focus on mortality and impermanence.
