He deliberately imposes strict formal constraints on his films (like the Dogme 95 manifesto) to explore how limitations paradoxically liberate creative expression and force emotional authenticity.

He embraced experimental film techniques and low-tech constraints—using still photography, found footage, and minimal resources—to challenge narrative conventions and expand cinema's expressive possibilities.
