DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Alfred Hitchcock United Kingdom

Masterfully confined characters to single locations in films like 'Rope' and 'Rear Window', using spatial limitation to build psychological tension.

 Joachim Trier Denmark

Repeatedly examines themes of entrapment and domestic spaces as psychological prisons in works like 'Dogville' and 'Antichrist'.
