DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Denis Villeneuve Canada

His films like *Blade Runner 2049* and *Arrival* deeply explore the boundaries between virtual perception and reality, questioning how humans interpret constructed worlds.

 Ari Aster United States

His psychological horror works (*Hereditary*, *Midsommar*) immerse viewers in subjective, dreamlike realities that blur the line between what's real and what exists only in perception.

 Takashi Miike Japan

His films like *Audition* and *One Missed Call* create disorienting digital and virtual landscapes where reality fractures into multiple layers of illusion and simulation.
