DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
David Lynch → USA

His fragmented narrative structures in films like 'Inland Empire' mirror the disorientation and memory loss central to Alzheimer's disease.

Hirokazu Kore-eda → Japan

His film 'After Life' (2010) poignantly examines memory, identity, and loss through the lens of people revisiting their most precious moments before death.
