DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Werner Herzog Germany

His films obsessively document human struggle against nature's indifference, from *Aguirre* to *Grizzly Man*, exploring the sublime terror of survival in extreme environments.

 Andrei Tarkovsky Soviet Union

His contemplative masterpieces like *Stalker* and *Solaris* probe humanity's fragile existence within vast, unknowable natural and cosmic forces.

 Terrence Malick United States

Films such as *The New World* and *The Tree of Life* meditate on survival through poetic imagery of humanity's precarious relationship with the natural world.
