DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Akira Kurosawa → Japan

Masterfully juxtaposed natural and artificial light, movement and stillness, and human vulnerability against vast landscapes in films like *Rashomon* and *Seven Samurai*.

Andrei Tarkovsky → Soviet Union

Created profound visual contrasts between the material and spiritual, industrial and natural worlds through long takes and meticulous color and light composition.
