sleepwalking

His surrealist narratives blur the boundaries between dream and reality, with characters often trapped in subconscious states similar to sleepwalking, most notably in Mulholland Drive and Eraserhead.

His slow-cinema aesthetic captures characters moving through life in a detached, somnambulistic state, exploring moral numbness and unconscious complicity in works like 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days.

His meditative pacing and dreamlike temporal distortions create a cinematic experience where viewers and characters alike drift through hypnotic, contemplative states that mirror sleepwalking consciousness.
