 Carl Theodor Dreyer Denmark

His masterpieces 'The Passion of Joan of Arc' and 'Vampyr' employ religious symbolism to explore faith, suffering, and the divine through haunting visual language.

 Andrei Tarkovsky Soviet Union

His contemplative films like 'Stalker' and 'Mirror' weave religious iconography and spiritual metaphor throughout meditative meditations on meaning and transcendence.
