DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Yasujirō Ozu → Japan

His films obsessively capture the subtle beauty of seasonal shifts and the fleeting nature of family bonds across changing landscapes and light.

Hou Hsiao-hsien → Taiwan

He uses seasonal imagery and temporal layering to explore how time erodes memory, relationships, and cultural identity within landscapes marked by transition.

Andrei Tarkovsky → Soviet Union

His metaphysical cinema uses seasons and natural cycles as meditation on human mortality, memory, and the impermanence of all material existence.
