memory and perspective

His films like *Memento* and *Inception* directly interrogate how memory shapes identity and reality through unreliable narratives and non-linear storytelling.

His meditative, philosophical works such as *Mirror* and *Stalker* explore how personal memory, time, and individual perspective construct meaning and spiritual truth.

His visually poetic films like *In the Mood for Love* and *2046* use fragmented memories and subjective perspectives to examine how nostalgia and longing distort our understanding of the past.
