DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Andrei Tarkovsky → Soviet Union

His philosophical cinema frequently employs mirrors as metaphysical tools to explore memory, self-reflection, and the nature of consciousness in works like 'Stalker' and 'Mirror'.

David Lynch → USA

His surrealist approach uses mirrors and reflective surfaces to blur reality and dreams, creating psychological labyrinths that question identity in films like 'Mulholland Drive' and 'Twin Peaks'.
