DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Hayao Miyazaki → Japan

His films feature flowing, biomorphic landscapes and creatures that embody the fluidity and unpredictability of nature itself.

David Lynch → United States

His work explores surreal, visceral organic imagery that blurs the boundaries between the corporeal and the dreamlike.

Andrei Tarkovsky → Soviet Union

His meditative films capture the abstract essence of natural materials and processes—water, earth, light—as primary visual and philosophical subjects.
