DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Andrei Tarkovsky Soviet Union/Russia

His metaphysical films explore the void of faith and human disconnection from the spiritual through meditative, introspective narratives.

 Joachim Trier Denmark

He systematically deconstructs faith and morality, depicting spiritual collapse and the absence of divine grace in a hostile universe.

 Pier Paolo Pasolini Italy

His films wrestle with the loss of spiritual meaning in modern society while exploring religious transgression and existential despair.
