DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Werner Herzog Germany

Herzog obsessively explores humanity's relationship with primal and ancient forces through documentaries and fiction, examining how civilizations confront overwhelming natural and metaphysical powers.

 Pier Paolo Pasolini Italy

His mythological films like 'Oedipus Rex' and 'Medea' deeply engage with ancient Greek tragedy and the destructive power of fate, gods, and archetypal forces across human civilization.
