memory and forgetting

His films explore memory as a poetic, spiritual force where time dissolves and forgotten moments resurface through contemplative imagery and sound.

He pioneered innovative narrative techniques to examine how memory fragments, distorts, and fails us, particularly in works like 'Last Year at Marienbad' and 'Hiroshima Mon Amour.'

His dreamlike narratives blur memory and reality, using non-linear storytelling and surrealism to show how the mind constructs and deconstructs the past.
