DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
David Lynch → United States

His films obsessively layer sound design and ambient audio to create psychological unease, making sound as narratively important as the visual image.

Rainer Werner Fassbinder → Germany

He used off-screen sound, overlapping dialogue, and unconventional audio mixing to disrupt narrative conventions and heighten emotional intensity.
