DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Darren Aronofsky United States

His films like Black Swan and The Wrestler obsessively examine characters who believe they are special or chosen, only to confront delusion and the burden of exceptional ambition.

 Terrence Malick United States

His philosophical filmography, particularly The Tree of Life, explores spiritual transcendence and the individual's place within cosmic destiny and divine selection.
