DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Werner Herzog Germany

His obsessive exploration of the Amazon in films like 'Fitzcarraldo' and 'Aguirre, the Wrath of God' captures the jungle as both sublime and destructive.

 Andrzej Żuławski Poland

His film 'Possession' uses the jungle setting as a psychological landscape that mirrors human madness and primal instincts.
