DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Werner Herzog Germany

His documentaries and films obsessively explore human vulnerability against extreme mountain environments and natural disasters, from *Aguirre, the Wrath of God* to *Fitzcarraldo*.

 John Lee Hancock Taiwan

His film *Brokeback Mountain* uses the treacherous mountain landscape as a metaphor for emotional and physical hazards, while his other works frequently feature perilous natural settings.

 Jean-Jacques Annaud France

He specializes in survival narratives against hostile mountain environments, most notably in *Seven Years in Tibet* and *The Name of the Rose*, exploring both physical and psychological mountain hazards.
