DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Agnès Varda → France

Her films like 'Vagabond' and 'Daguerréotypes' intimately capture urban movement, displacement, and the social spaces of cities through a humanistic lens.

Michelangelo Antonioni → Italy

He masterfully depicts urban alienation and the relationship between characters and modern city architecture, using transportation and movement as metaphors for existential disconnection.

His visually stunning films like 'Fallen Angels' and 'Chungking Express' explore urban streets, taxis, and public transportation as backdrops for intimate human encounters in dense metropolitan spaces.
