His film Blow-Up (1966) is a seminal exploration of how photographs can obscure truth rather than reveal it, questioning the reliability of visual evidence itself.

La Jetée (1962) is constructed almost entirely from still photographs, making the photographic image itself the primary medium for exploring memory, time, and evidence.

His documentaries like The Thin Blue Line (1988) and The Fog of War (2003) rigorously examine how photographs and visual documentation can mislead or reveal hidden truths about evidence.
