DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Andrei Tarkovsky Soviet Union

His films dissolve conventional narrative into meditative explorations of memory, spirituality, and time through long takes and philosophical imagery.

 Apichatpong Weerasethakul Thailand

His films embrace fragmented, non-linear storytelling that privileges sensory and dreamlike experience over coherent narrative structure.
