DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
David Lynch USA

His films like 'The Straight Story' and 'Wild at Heart' explore the American road and truck culture as a lens into loneliness, desire, and the underbelly of rural life.

 Wim Wenders Germany

His road movies, particularly 'Paris, Texas' and 'Kings of the Road,' use truck driving and constant movement as metaphors for existential wandering and human connection.
