I have not seen Kobayashi's 'The Human Condition' trilogy. It's about 10 hours in all, but I will watch one day.
Out of the Director's I have seen, I would put these forward as good examples of films / directors that really convey human nature well, make the viewer question their own actions and also make the viewer think about life, death and existentialism in general:
Hirokazu Kore-eda - most of his films are about family. So the nature of companionship and unconditional love is raised alot. I'd recommend 'Like Father and Son' and 'Shoplifters'
Ruben Ostlund - 'Force Majeure' - who really delves deep into the decision making of humans and looks set to have an amazing career.
Ki-Duk-Kim - Spring, Summer, Winter, Autumn and Spring' or 'Time'
Terrence Mallick films are very good at scratching the surface of humanism. As are Jonathan Glazer's (Under the Skin), Darren Aronofsky (The Fountain) and From what I've seen of Fatih Akin, he might also be a candidate. I need to see more Ozu, Bunel and Bresson - as they appear to be worth a mention here.
