DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
David Lynch USA

His films like Mulholland Drive and Inland Empire deconstruct memory and identity through fragmented narratives and dreamlike states.

 Alejandro González Iñárritu Mexico

Memento and The Machinist explore the unreliability of memory and how trauma distorts our perception of reality.

 Wong Kar-wai Hong Kong

His films like In the Mood for Love and 2046 use visual poetry to capture the melancholy of fading memories and lost relationships.
