DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Andrei Tarkovsky Soviet Union

His films use natural growth and decay as metaphors for consciousness, memory, and spiritual transformation, particularly in works like Stalker and Mirror.

 Agnès Varda France

She employs botanical imagery and gardens as spaces for exploring human connection, aging, and poetic observation in films like The Gleaners and I and Vagabond.

 Werner Herzog Germany

His documentaries and fiction films use plants, forests, and ecosystems as allegories for human ambition, survival, and our relationship with untamed nature.
