fate vs free will

Blends high-concept sci-fi and heist narratives with romantic fatalism and moral ambiguity.

His philosophical films like 'The Tree of Life' and 'A Hidden Life' explore the tension between divine providence and human agency through poetic visual meditation.

His surrealist narratives in works like 'Mulholland Drive' and 'Eraserhead' deliberately obscure causality and agency, questioning whether characters control their destinies or are trapped in predetermined patterns.
