This article questions how contemplative contemporary cinema “sexualize” the landscapes. Through the filmography of four directors, Abbas Kiarostami, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Lars von Trier and Bruno Dumont, the relationships between nature and human body are highlighted. Furthermore, based on the “eroticism” notion developed by Georges Bataille, our study tries to emphasize how these relationships turn out to be synonymous with bliss but at the same time with terror.
