DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Theo Angelopoulos Greece

His films profoundly explore Athens as a labyrinth of history, politics, and human isolation, treating the city as a character itself.

 Yorgos Lanthimos Greece

He captures contemporary urban Athens with surreal precision, examining alienation and social dysfunction in modern city life.
