cultural outsider

His films consistently explore class division and social outsiders navigating hierarchical systems, culminating in *Parasite*'s examination of economic disparity and cultural displacement.

He creates surreal worlds where characters operate outside social norms, using alienation and peculiarity to examine how outsiders struggle to exist within rigid cultural frameworks.

His neorealist approach documents marginalized individuals and working-class outsiders trapped by systemic indifference and cultural exclusion in contemporary society.
