DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
David Lynch United States

Masterfully blends mundane American settings with unsettling psychological disturbances and dreamlike logic to create profound unease in the ordinary.

 Apichatpong Weerasethakul Thailand

Infuses everyday rural landscapes and casual human interactions with temporal distortions and spiritual ambiguity, making the mundane feel mysteriously transcendent.
