DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
David Lynch United States

His films deliberately distort reality through surrealism, non-linear narratives, and dreamlike imagery to challenge viewers' perception of what is real.

 Gaspar Noé France

He uses innovative camera techniques, inverted imagery, and disorienting editing to create profound visual illusions that blur the line between observer and observed reality.
