DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
David Lynch → USA

Lynch uses bathtubs as surreal, intimate spaces that reveal psychological vulnerability and existential dread, most notably in Eraserhead and Twin Peaks.

François Ozon → France

Ozon frequently employs bathtub scenes as charged moments of sensuality, confession, and transformation, exploring desire and mortality through water and nakedness.

Pier Paolo Pasolini → Italy

Pasolini utilizes bathing scenes to examine the body, class, and spirituality, treating water as a ritualistic element that exposes social and personal transgression.
