DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Werner Herzog Germany

His documentaries and films obsessively explore humanity's relationship with untamed nature and primal existence, from jungle expeditions to volcano descents.

 Pier Paolo Pasolini Italy

He examined primitive rituals, mythology, and pre-industrial societies as mirrors to critique modern civilization in works like 'Teorema' and 'Canterbury Tales.'

 Terrence Malick United States

His films contemplate humanity's origins and spiritual connection to nature, portraying civilization as a departure from primordial grace and wonder.
