DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Darren Aronofsky United States

His films obsessively explore moral degradation and spiritual redemption through psychologically intense narratives that blur reality and delusion.

 Yorgos Lanthimos Greece

He dismantles social constructs and exposes uncomfortable truths about human behavior while examining characters' attempts at redemption within absurdist frameworks.

 Andrei Tarkovsky Soviet Union/Russia

His meditative, philosophical cinema profoundly interrogates truth, faith, and the possibility of spiritual redemption through extended contemplation of human consciousness.
