identity and memory

His films like 'Birdman' and 'The Revenant' deeply explore how past traumas and fractured identities shape present consciousness and survival.

His tender explorations in films like 'Like Father, Like Son' and 'Shoplifters' examine how family bonds and shared memories construct and reconstruct our sense of self.
