 Werner Herzog Germany

His documentaries and narratives obsessively document human quests for fortune and mythical treasure, particularly in 'Aguirre, the Wrath of God' and 'Fitzcarraldo,' revealing madness behind the pursuit.

 Terry Gilliam United Kingdom

His surreal visual storytelling transforms pirate mythology and treasure-seeking into dreamlike adventures that blend fantasy with social commentary, as seen in 'The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus' and 'The Man Who Killed Don Quixote.'
