DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
David Lynch United States

His surrealist films obsessively explore identity transformation and the uncanny nature of appearance, using makeup and prosthetics to blur reality and psychological states.

 Hayao Miyazaki Japan

His animated films celebrate transformation and disguise through makeup and costume as metaphors for identity, beauty standards, and the fluidity of self in works like Spirited Away.
