 Pier Paolo Pasolini Italy

His provocative films such as 'Salò' and 'The Gospel According to St. Matthew' unflinchingly examine divine wrath, human depravity, and religious transgression.

 Joachim Trier Denmark

His controversial works like 'Antichrist' and 'Dogville' present graphic depictions of suffering and divine retribution as central to his exploration of faith and damnation.
