DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Pier Paolo Pasolini → Italy

His films brutally expose the commodification and sexual exploitation of vulnerable people in tourist-driven economies, particularly in 'Salò' and his unrealized projects.

Wim Wenders → Germany

He critiques how tourism and Western commercialism erode authentic cultural identity and human connection in works like 'Until the End of the World' and his documentaries on global displacement.
