DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Terrence Malick United States

His films are defined by transcendent cinematography that treats natural light as a spiritual force, capturing how sunlight transforms landscapes and human emotion.

 Joachim Trier Denmark

He obsessively uses natural Nordic light to create stark emotional landscapes, where daylight and darkness become metaphors for psychological states.
