DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Jacques Audiard → France

His films like 'A Prophet' and 'Rust and Bone' explore sensory experiences and physical vulnerability, with 'Rust and Bone' centering on a woman who loses her legs and the sensory recalibration that follows.

François Truffaut → France

His film 'The Wild Child' (1970) documents a deaf-mute boy's sensory awakening and learning process, making the exploration of alternative sensory perception fundamental to the film's humanistic vision.
