DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Roman Polanski Poland

His films like 'Repulsion' and 'The Tenant' obsessively depict psychological unraveling through claustrophobic isolation and paranoia.

 Andrei Tarkovsky Soviet Union

His meditative, slow-cinema works explore existential isolation and the fragility of the human mind in films like 'Stalker' and 'Mirror'.

 David Lynch United States

He masterfully blends surrealism with psychological descent into madness, particularly in 'Eraserhead' and 'Mulholland Drive'.
