DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
David Fincher USA

His films like *Gone Girl* and *The Social Network* meticulously deconstruct unreliable narration and the masks people wear to manipulate reality.

 Christopher Nolan UK

Works such as *Memento* and *Inception* explore how perception becomes indistinguishable from reality, questioning the nature of truth itself.
