DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Werner Herzog Germany

His obsession with human obsession and the pursuit of impossible dreams—from conquistadors seeking El Dorado to cave paintings—mirrors the mythical quest for pearl treasure.

 Pier Paolo Pasolini Italy

His films merge ancient mythology with visual poetry, treating objects and desires as sacred treasures while exploring themes of beauty, loss, and cultural transformation.

 Andrei Tarkovsky Soviet Union

He transforms mundane objects into spiritual treasures through contemplative cinematography, making viewers see the pearl-like beauty hidden within ordinary experience and memory.
