DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Hou Hsiao-hsien Taiwan

His films like 'A City of Sadness' and 'The Assassin' weave ghostly presences and historical trauma into meditative visual narratives that haunt the present.

 Guillermo del Toro Mexico

He masterfully blends gothic horror with emotional depth in films like 'The Devil's Backbone' and 'Crimson Peak,' where ghosts embody loss and longing.

 Hirokazu Kore-eda Japan

His films explore lingering spirits and unresolved emotions with poetic tenderness, particularly in 'After Life' where ghosts confront their own memories.
