DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Werner Herzog Germany

His documentaries and films obsessively explore isolated, remote locations and human ambition in paradise-like yet hostile environments.

 Terrence Malick USA

His poetic cinema frequently meditates on paradise, nature, and human civilization through island and tropical settings like in 'The Thin Red Line' and 'The Tree of Life.'

 Agnès Varda France

She captured the allure and fragility of island life and utopian spaces across multiple continents, blending documentary and narrative in search of paradise.
