DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Agnès Varda France

Her films, particularly 'Vagabond' and 'The Gleaners and I', explore how identity shifts through time, memory, and social circumstances.

 Andrei Tarkovsky Soviet Union

His meditative works like 'Mirror' and 'Stalker' interrogate how personal and collective identity fragments and reconstitutes across temporal layers.

 Claire Denis France

Films like 'Trouble Every Day' and '35 Shots of Rum' examine how identity persists, transforms, and haunts individuals across time and displacement.
