DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Denis Villeneuve Canada

In films like 'Arrival' and 'Blade Runner 2049', Villeneuve systematically deconstructs unreliable narratives and explores how different characters perceive fundamentally different realities.

 Christopher Nolan United Kingdom

Nolan's films ('Memento', 'The Prestige', 'Inception') deliberately fragment and compete narratives to explore subjective truth and the impossibility of objective reality.
