His intimate, improvisation-based films like 'Faces' and 'A Woman Under the Influence' brutally dissect the fractures and vulnerabilities within romantic and domestic relationships.

His films repetitively examine romantic encounters and misunderstandings with elliptical narratives that reveal how relationships strain under communication failures and desire.
