hallucination

His films blur reality and hallucination through dreamlike narratives and surreal imagery, particularly in works like Mulholland Drive and Eraserhead.

He explores consciousness and perception through meditative long takes and ambiguous realities, questioning what is real versus imagined in films like Stalker and Mirror.

His psychological thrillers systematically deconstruct reality and unreliable perception, creating paranoid states where audiences cannot distinguish hallucination from fact.
