Kicking and screaming (noah baumbach) not the will ferrel one. Great comedy.
Paprika is an animated scifi.
Arrival and children of men are my 2 favorite movies, bkth scifi, not unknown tho.
The lobster/ anything by yorgos lanthimos.
Children of Men is so fucking good except for the creepy CGI baby.
EDIT: Slavoj Zizek talks about one of his favorite films, Children of Men. Great breakdown of what makes it so good.
Ayyy Ive seen the zizek video too! He isnt the best analyst of movies, case in point v for vendetta but this was good.
Yeah, his movie analyses are usually done through the lens of psychoanalysis akin to Freud/Jung. Which is great if that's your thing, but isn't great if it's not haha.
I actually just read how to read lacan a few weeks ago who's a major influence in his work. Infact I'd go so far as to say zizek gave lacan the relevance he never had by reworking many of his ideas.
I swear I've never seen a movie like that before or since. I love Alfonso Cuarons style but even he can't recreate smth this revolutionarily good.
Yesss! Didnβt know there was a βPaprikaβ movie! I loved the book.
Jizzmaster you have to watch that movie, it's one of the trippiest movie i've ever seen. And it's particularly charming with subs instead of the dubbed version.
Iβm all in
Check out perfect blue by the same guy. Very different (psychological horror/thriller) but also trippy and amazing.
The Lobster was, and still is, my benchmark for whether or not I can stand to watch a movie.
Nothing has been as awful as that movie.
