unreliable narrator

His films like 'Prisoners' and 'Enemy' systematically deconstruct audience perception through unreliable perspectives and ambiguous truths.

Masterfully manipulates viewer certainty in films like 'Gone Girl' and 'The Game' by revealing how much we misunderstand characters and events.

His animations ('Perfect Blue', 'Paprika') blur reality and delusion so thoroughly that viewers question the nature of memory and identity itself.
