DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
David Lynch USA

He consistently uses mirrors as portals to alternate realities and psychological duality, most notably in 'Mulholland Drive' and 'Eraserhead', creating nightmarish reflections of identity.

 Andrei Tarkovsky USSR

His metaphysical films like 'Stalker' and 'Mirror' treat mirrors as gateways between memory, reality, and the subconscious, where reflections become traps of existential self-confrontation.
