Though German, Herzog's films like 'Grizzly Man' and 'Rescue Dawn' obsessively explore remote Canadian and North American wilderness as a character that reveals human nature.

Villeneuve consistently employs Canada's vast prairies and natural terrain—from 'Incendies' to 'Prisoners'—as metaphors for isolation, mystery, and the sublime.
