DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Mark Neveldine USA

Hyperkinetic camera and editing amplify anarchic narratives of chemical-fueled antiheroes.

 David Lynch USA

His films blur dream and reality, creating disorienting narratives that mirror altered mental states and subconscious experience.

 Gaspar Noé France

He uses extreme formal techniques like strobing, distorted sound, and non-linear storytelling to viscerally simulate intoxication and psychological breakdown.
