DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Werner Herzog Germany

His documentaries obsessively examine humanity's relationship with wild animals and primal survival, exploring the hunter-hunted dynamic in films like Grizzly Man and Aguirre, the Wrath of God.

 Bong Joon-ho South Korea

He consistently uses animal pursuit as metaphor for class struggle and survival instinct, most explicitly in Okja and The Host, where hunts reveal social hierarchies.
