DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Andrei Tarkovsky Soviet Union/Russia

His films profoundly explore spirituality and Orthodox Christian faith through meditative visual poetry and metaphysical inquiry.

 Pier Paolo Pasolini Italy

He repeatedly engaged with Christian theology and Church traditions, most notably in 'The Gospel According to St. Matthew' and films examining religious conflict.

 Carl Theodor Dreyer Denmark

His masterpieces like 'Passion of Joan of Arc' and 'Vampyr' deeply interrogate faith, martyrdom, and the sacred through expressionistic cinematography.
