religious ambiguity

His films like 'The Gospel According to St. Matthew' and 'Salò' deliberately blur sacred and profane to interrogate religious faith and institutional power.

His metaphysical cinema explores spirituality and doubt through ambiguous imagery and prolonged meditation on faith, redemption, and the ineffable in films like 'Stalker' and 'Mirror'.

His provocative works such as 'Post Tenebras Lux' and 'Our Time' weave religious symbolism with carnal experience to examine faith's contradictions in contemporary life.
