DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Pier Paolo Pasolini Italy

'Oedipus Rex' directly adapts the archetypal tale of prophecy and inescapable fate, making fortune telling's tragic inevitability central to his philosophical cinema.

 David Lynch United States

His surrealist works like 'Twin Peaks' and 'Mulholland Drive' treat cinema itself as a tool for divination, revealing hidden truths and alternative destinies through cryptic symbols and dream logic.
