DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Ingmar Bergman → Sweden

He explores the psychological complexities of self-perception and social masks, particularly in works like Persona where identity becomes increasingly ambiguous and performative.

Wong Kar-wai → Hong Kong

His visually poetic films examine how individuals construct and lose themselves in urban environments where appearance, reputation, and authentic identity constantly collide.
