DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Werner Herzog Germany

His films obsessively document humanity's destructive conquest of nature, from Aguirre to Grizzly Man, exploring the collision between individual ambition and the natural world.

 Terrence Malick USA

He contrasts the spiritual transcendence of nature with the encroaching mechanization and commodification of modern life across films like The Thin Red Line and The Tree of Life.
