DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Hou Hsiao-hsien Taiwan

His films use long takes and spatial ambiguity to evoke spectral presences and the haunting weight of history and memory.

 Andrei Tarkovsky Soviet Union/Russia

He explores ghostly apparitions and metaphysical presences through meditative pacing and ethereal cinematography that blur the material and spiritual worlds.
