DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Darren Aronofsky → USA

His films like 'Requiem for a Dream' and 'The Fountain' obsessively explore altered states, addiction, and the body's response to experimental substances with visceral, hallucinatory visual language.

David Cronenberg → Canada

His body horror masterpieces such as 'Videodrome' and 'Naked Lunch' examine how experimental drugs and technologies transform and mutate the human form in deeply unsettling ways.

Gaspar Noé → France

His immersive films like 'Enter the Void' and 'Climax' use experimental narrative techniques and visual distortion to simulate the subjective experience of hallucinogenic and designer drugs.
