generational divide

His films like 'Tokyo Story' and 'Like Father, Like Son' intimately explore the emotional distance and unspoken bonds between generations within families.

In 'Hereditary' and 'Midsommar,' he examines how trauma, secrets, and divergent worldviews create insurmountable rifts between parents and children.
