DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Jacques Tati → France

Constructed elaborate mise-en-scène where the frame is densely populated with simultaneous actions, forcing viewers to actively choose their perspective and discover meaning through repeated viewings.

Yasujirō Ozu → Japan

Used static, centered framing and low camera angles to create a meditative visual perspective that questions the viewer's relationship to domestic space and the act of looking itself.
