DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Andrei Tarkovsky → Soviet Union

His films explore the erasure of identity and memory through meditative long takes, where characters dissolve into landscapes and time itself becomes an erasing force.

Apichatpong Weerasethakul → Thailand

His films deliberately erase narrative clarity, character identity, and historical specificity, creating cinema that questions memory, trauma, and what remains after events fade away.
