hiding and evasion

His films obsessively examine how characters conceal their true selves and intentions behind suburban facades and social performances.

He masterfully depicts psychological evasion and the masks people wear, from serial killers hiding in plain sight to corporate deception in *Gone Girl* and *The Social Network*.

His visually poetic films explore characters emotionally hiding from one another despite physical proximity, using shadows and neon-lit urban spaces as metaphors for evasion.
