DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Joe Lynch → United States

His surrealist narratives deliberately distort reality and perception, using dream logic, non-linear editing, and disturbing imagery to create profound visual and psychological illusions.

Gaspar Noé → France

His experimental use of rotating cameras, inverted sequences, and disorienting cinematography creates visceral visual illusions that challenge the viewer's perception of space and time.
