DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Sergei Eisenstein Soviet Union

His films like 'Battleship Potemkin' use montage to explore the spatial relationships and collective movement within urban environments as political metaphor.

 Wong Kar-wai Hong Kong

His visually stunning films obsessively capture Hong Kong's dense, neon-lit urban landscape as a character itself, exploring how the city shapes human emotion and isolation.
