He repeatedly explores possession through a visceral, body-horror lens in films like 'Audition' and 'Visitor Q', blending supernatural and psychological possession.

Maurice Pialat → France

His film 'Van Gogh' and particularly his exploration of mental dissolution in 'Loulou' examines possession as psychological invasion and loss of self.
