DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Richard Linklater → United States

His 'Before' trilogy masterfully explores how timing and life circumstances determine whether two people can truly be together across decades.

Wong Kar-wai → Hong Kong

His films obsessively examine missed connections and the tragedy of meeting the right person at the wrong moment in time.

Hirokazu Kore-eda → Japan

He portrays how relationships evolve through different life stages and how the same people change fundamentally as time passes.
