If you can vibe with 70s Godard Tout Va Bien has a good cut open set of a sausage factory during a labor strike

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? Kelly Reichardt's films are some of my favorites of these, all of them really but especially Old Joy and Wendy & Lucy. Those are lower key than your examples but hit the slice of life/open end really well. Mike Leigh's stuff also has a lot of hits, especially Naked fitting in some with the rougher aspects of your examples.

He's really wonderful in Old Joy, I wish he'd act more too. I should really get around to that Rick Alverson movie he's in. It's fun to think about how before he was famous(ish) for his music he was most notable for being in Matewan. There's an alternate universe where his acting/music ratio is reversed, and he just kept plugging along as a solid supporting actor and has a small side gig making music now and again

Rider and Charles Burnett are great shouts, Killer of Sheep is a masterpiece

virinvictus posted:Girlfriend is a sucker for romance in movies. What would be a good date night suggestion? I'm a mafia / gang movie lover and never really lend myself in that direction. Carol, Brief Encounter, All That Heaven Allows, The Shop Around the Corner, The Age of Innocence, If Beale Street Could Talk, Desert Hearts. If she likes romance films she's probably already seen Moonstruck but Norman Jewison just died and is missing out if she hasn't. I second all the Wong Kar Wai suggestions and add Happy Together.
