DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Luis Llosa → Peru

Her films like 'La teta asustada' and 'The Milk of Sorrow' weave Peruvian landscapes and indigenous geography into deeply poetic narratives about memory and trauma.

Carlos Reygadas → Mexico

Though Mexican, his meditative films use vast landscapes and natural environments as philosophical spaces that explore human existence within South American-influenced themes of isolation and beauty.
