Defining Films
Profile
The anatomist of the body's betrayal. His cinema treats flesh as a text to be read, mutated, violated — a landscape where technology, desire, and decay intersect. He made horror philosophical and the grotesque intimate.
In Their Own Words
Ingmar Bergman's *The Seventh Seal* (1957) and *Persona* (1966) struck me powerfully.
