memory and fragmentation

His films like *Mirror* and *Stalker* fragment time and memory into poetic, non-linear sequences that blur autobiography with mythology.

Works such as *Mulholland Drive* and *Inland Empire* deliberately fracture narrative and identity to explore how memory distorts reality.

His films *Last Year at Marienbad* and *Hiroshima Mon Amour* use fragmented editing and circular narratives to interrogate the unreliability of human memory.
