DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Werner Herzog Germany

His films like 'Fitzcarraldo' and 'Aguirre, the Wrath of God' obsessively explore humanity's struggle against untamed island and jungle landscapes as both physical and psychological frontiers.

 Luc Besson France

His visually stunning films such as 'The Blue Lagoon' and 'Ratatouille' (through production design) celebrate exotic island settings as dreamlike spaces of adventure, beauty, and escape.
