DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
David Lynch → United States

His surreal, fragmented narrative structures mirror the disorientation and memory loss of cognitive decline, particularly evident in 'Inland Empire' and 'Mulholland Drive'.

Michael Haneke → Austria

His film 'Amour' provides an unflinching portrait of aging, physical decline, and the psychological toll of dementia on both patient and caregiver with clinical precision.
