DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Pier Paolo Pasolini Italy

His radical adaptations like 'The Gospel According to St. Matthew' and 'Salò' deconstruct biblical and classical narratives through provocative cinematic language.

 Martin Scorsese United States

He explores spiritual crisis and moral redemption through biblical frameworks in films like 'The Last Temptation of Christ' and 'Silence,' wrestling with faith and doubt.

 Carl Theodor Dreyer Denmark

His masterpiece 'The Passion of Joan of Arc' and 'Vampyr' translate biblical and metaphysical themes into intensely visual, spiritually profound cinema.
