Apichatpong Weerasethakul → Thailand

Claire Denis → France

Her work consistently features multiple languages (French, English, African languages) as integral elements that reflect colonial histories and contemporary cultural hybridity.

Pedro Almodóvar → Spain

He strategically uses Spanish alongside other languages to examine how linguistic and cultural codes intersect with identity, desire, and social belonging.
