DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Alejandro González Iñárritu → Mexico

His films explore mortality, grief, and the rituals surrounding death as central existential themes, particularly in *Babel* and *Biutiful*.

Béla Tarr → Hungary

His visually austere, meditative works treat death and decay as aesthetic and philosophical subjects, creating funeral-like atmospheres throughout his oeuvre.

Denis Villeneuve → France

Her films *Trouble Every Day* and *Let the Sunshine In* engage with mortality, corporeality, and the rituals of remembrance through haunting visual poetry.
