DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
David Lynch United States

His films like Mulholland Drive and Eraserhead trap characters in labyrinthine narratives where every choice collapses into its opposite, rendering decisions meaningless.

 Apichatpong Weerasethakul Thailand

His elliptical narratives and temporal ambiguities dissolve the very logic of choice, suggesting that agency itself may be an illusion.
