 David Fincher USA

Through films like 'Zodiac' and 'Gone Girl,' he constructs intricate narratives where obsession and paranoia blur the line between investigation and madness.

 Andrei Tarkovsky Soviet Union

His meditative, philosophical approach to 'Stalker' and 'Mirror' explores the dissolution of reality and the psychological torment of those who question existence itself.
