DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Werner Herzog Germany

His documentaries obsessively examine animal behavior and human-nature relationships, exploring how humans and animals mirror each other's struggles for survival and meaning.

 Yorgos Lanthimos Greece

His films use deadpan absurdism to reveal how human social rituals, hierarchies, and courtship behaviors parallel animal instincts in deeply unsettling ways.
