DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Michelangelo Antonioni Italy

His films meticulously capture urban alienation and the psychological disconnect between individuals and modern cityscapes, particularly through architectural framing.

 Wong Kar-wai Hong Kong

He transforms dense urban environments into poetic landscapes of human connection and isolation, observing fleeting moments between strangers in neon-lit streets.
