DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Andrei Tarkovsky → Soviet Union/Russia

His films like 'Andrei Rublev' and 'Stalker' meditate on faith, spiritual artifacts, and the sacred through visual poetry and metaphysical inquiry.

Pier Paolo Pasolini → Italy

He explored religious symbolism and sacred objects as political and spiritual metaphors, particularly in 'The Canterbury Tales' and 'The Decameron'.

Carlos Reygadas → Mexico

His provocative works like 'Post Tenebras Lux' and 'Our Lady of the Spheres' directly interrogate religious iconography, relics, and spiritual devotion in contemporary society.
