The Puppetmaster, if you can find it. I adore the first segment of Three Times, am cooler on the other two. Bounced hard off of Flowers of Shanghai (saw it when I was 18), but many consider it to be one of his best, and I think you'd be into it. Bounced hard off of Goodbye South, Goodbye and saw it in recent years, so if you're not familiar with his milieu, you could save this "gangster film" for later. Same with The Assassin as a "martial arts flick", but that ended up very fine if you knew what to expect. I think that's all I've seen. A lot of fans talk about A City of Sadness, Millennium Mambo, and Café Lumière as well.

Lester Shy posted:Looking for dreamy, nightmarish, Lynchian horror movies. It's a really specific request, but I love stories where a character passes from the real world into a dream/purgatory/whatever. Things like Jacob's Ladder, Inland Empire, As Above So Below, the 2nd and 3rd seasons of Channel Zero, Baskin, etc.

SkunkDuster posted:I watched The Florida Project yesterday and really enjoyed it. I also liked KIDS, Gummo, and Requiem For A Dream. Another good one is the 1981 made for tv adaptation of The Gin Game with Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy. The common theme here is "slice of life" type movies that don't follow typical movie tropes and don't necessarily have happy endings or any resolution - somewhere between a documentary and movie. Is there a genre for this type of film? Any recommendations on similar films? -medicine for melancholy & moonlight from barry jenkins -weekend from andrew haigh -support the girls from andrew bujalski -the rider from chloe zhao -the works of charles burnett -the works of debra granik

magic cactus posted:I'm gonna watch the Three Colors trilogy as soon as I'm done with my current film, Satantango. I'm actually really enjoying this one despite it's 7-hour runtime (I'm watching it in hour-two hour chunks, or an act-break, whatever comes first.) It's bleak but in a way I find strangely... comforting. Reminds me a lot of Stalker.

Among contemporary filmmakers, have you seen anything by Asghar Farhadi or Kenneth Lonergan? Those two would be my go-tos

Alright, gaspar noe's vortex bowled me the gently caress over, so now I want recommendations for films/documentaries about an elderly parent/relative's deterioration like from Alzheimer's, dementia, stroke, etc. Remember seeing: Amour The Savages Heard about: Away from Her The Father Relic

oceanside posted:I recently watched Hud and although it's quite different to them, it reminded me of The Night of the Hunter, Days of Heaven, The Straight Story, In the Heat of the Night and even Matewan in the sense that I felt I was getting some insight into rural life in the United States. I felt in these movies there was a richness in the detail--whether it be the vernacular language, the settings or the kinds of story they tell. This is in contrast to something like Gone with the Wind where rural life felt like more of a sterile backdrop than a real driving part of the story. If anyone is able to make sense of this incoherent line of thought, I wonder if you can think of any other movies that might be similar?
