DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
David Fincher USA

His films obsessively explore identity construction and reinvention, from the dual personas in *Fight Club* to the calculated self-fashioning in *Gone Girl* and *The Social Network*.

 Wong Kar-wai Hong Kong

His visually poetic films like *Chungking Express* and *In the Mood for Love* capture characters constantly reinventing themselves through romantic fantasies and fragmented memories.
