DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS

His films like 'L'Avventura' and 'Red Desert' explore emotional alienation and disconnection within modern cities through long, contemplative shots.

His visually poetic films such as 'Chungking Express' and 'In the Mood for Love' capture the loneliness of individuals lost in neon-lit urban landscapes.
