DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Yasujirō Ozu → Japan

His films meticulously capture seasonal transitions and natural cycles as reflections of human life's passages and emotional states.

Terrence Malick → United States

He uses seasonal landscapes and changing light to explore transcendental themes, with seasons functioning as visual metaphors for spiritual and emotional journeys.

Béla Tarr → Hungary

His monochromatic cinematography transforms bleak, desolate seasonal imagery—particularly autumn and winter—into profound meditations on decay, time, and human despair.
