DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS

David Lynch United States

Lynch's films such as 'Mulholland Drive' and 'Eraserhead' are built on dream logic, fragmentary narratives, and the exploration of the subconscious mind.

Andrei Tarkovsky Soviet Union

His poetic cinema in films like 'Stalker' and 'Mirror' employs dreamlike pacing, memory, and metaphysical imagery to transcend literal reality.
