unreliable perception

His films like Prisoners and Enemy deliberately construct unreliable narratives where viewers' perceptions shift as hidden information emerges, forcing reconsideration of everything witnessed.

Irréversible and Enter the Void use experimental narrative structures and subjective camera work to blur objective reality with subjective hallucination and psychological distortion.
