DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Pier Paolo Pasolini Italy

His adaptations of Greek myths ('Oedipus Rex,' 'Medea') and use of classical artifacts ground ancient mythological power in raw, visceral contemporary cinema.

 Terry Gilliam United States/United Kingdom

His films like 'The Fisher King' and 'Twelve Monkeys' weave mythical objects and Arthurian legend into darkly imaginative narratives about redemption and chaos.
