physical difference

His films like 'The Elephant Man' and 'Mulholland Drive' explore how physical appearance shapes identity, isolation, and perception in disturbing, poetic ways.

His surreal cinema consistently examines bodies as sites of control, desire, and alienation, with physical difference central to films like 'Poor Things' and 'Killing of a Sacred Deer'.

He confronts physical vulnerability, disability, and bodily trauma as existential themes in works like 'Dancer in the Dark' and 'Breaking the Waves'.
