DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
David Cronenberg → Canada

His body horror films obsessively explore the mutation and transformation of human flesh as a manifestation of identity crisis and genetic instability.

Denis Villeneuve → Canada

His works like 'Blade Runner 2049' and 'Enemy' interrogate what constitutes identity when genetics, replication, and predetermined nature blur moral boundaries.
