DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Michelangelo Antonioni → Italy

His films transform landscapes into emotional and psychological spaces, where barren environments reflect human alienation and existential emptiness.

Andrei Tarkovsky → Soviet Union

He uses vast, meditative landscapes as metaphysical spaces where nature becomes a mirror for memory, time, and spiritual yearning.
