Director Style Fingerprint

You can tell a director's film within two minutes but couldn't say why if pressed. This breaks down the fingerprint: the recurring visual motifs, how they use sound and silence, whether they put you inside characters' heads or keep you at arm's length, the thematic obsessions, and how the style has shifted over a career.

I want to understand the visual and narrative signature of director {DIRECTOR_NAME}. Analyse their filmography with reference to: (1) recurring visual motifs and cinematographic choices, (2) how they use sound and silence, (3) their approach to character interiority: do we get inside characters' heads or are we kept at a distance? (4) recurring thematic obsessions across multiple films, and (5) how their style has evolved or stayed consistent over time. Draw on at least {MIN_FILMS} of their films as evidence. End with a one-paragraph 'fingerprint' summary I could use to identify their work blind.
