global influence

His films like Babel and Love is a Bitch deliberately interconnect characters across continents to expose how miscommunication and cultural barriers shape global human experience.

Through surrealist narratives in The Killing of a Sacred Deer and Poor Things, he examines how cultural values and power structures propagate across societies and shape individual identity.

His works including Parasite and Okja directly critique how global capitalism, class systems, and Western influence penetrate and destabilize non-Western societies.
