bathtub

Lynch obsessively explores bathtubs and bathrooms as surreal, liminal spaces where the mundane collapses into the uncanny, most notably in Eraserhead and Twin Peaks.

Noé uses bathtubs as sites of vulnerability, mortality, and psychological dissolution in films like Irréversible and Enter the Void, where water becomes a medium for trauma.

Tarkovsky employs bathing scenes and water imagery as spiritual and philosophical meditations on memory, time, and human existence in works like Stalker and Nostalgia.
