DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Werner Herzog Germany

His documentaries obsessively explore the relationship between humans and animals in wild and urban environments, questioning civilization's dominance over nature.

 Yorgos Lanthimos Greece

His films portray humans and animals coexisting in surreal urban and liminal spaces, blurring boundaries between civilization and primal behavior.

 Bong Joon-ho South Korea

His work repeatedly features animals as metaphors for class struggle and survival within stratified urban societies, most notably in 'Okja' and 'Parasite'.
