narrative framing

His films like 'Arrival' and 'Blade Runner 2049' use narrative framing as a central device to explore how perspective shapes reality and meaning.

His visually poetic cinema constantly fractures and reframes narrative through memory, subjective perspective, and non-linear storytelling in works like 'In the Mood for Love.'
