Very few war films will frick you up because we've become desensitized.

This war film will frick you up.

Nothing really experimental in this film to classify it as an art film unless pure visceral guttural emotion is the contrarian take on traditional war movies...of which it does succeed.

The Break Up

Where Anniston is an Art Dealer

Do we agree they got together again at the end of the movie or nah?

Not a movie, but the Anime series Lain, is pretty much art.

Same with Ergo Proxy.

Serial Experiment Lain wasn’t bad, just too much “out there” for me.

I haven't seen this since it first came out, but I always considered it to be one of my least favorite movies of all time.
Maybe I should give it another try since my tastes have changed significantly since the late 80's.

I think it's a pretty incredible movie.

Under The Skin is by far my favorite artsy film I think I’ve seen.

I still have to finish 2001 as it bored the wife, but it is jaw-dropping. And I’m not necessarily even a big Kubrick fan.

Aguirre, The Wrath of God (1972)
Herzog stole a camera to make it and put the crew in some risky situations. I love the movie and the story behind the movie.

Possession (1981)
The Jurassic Park/Event Horizon guy going through a painful divorce. Lots of interesting symbolism.

I'm also a big fan of Aronofsky's Mother, which has already been mentioned.

"Ghost"

Might classify that as an Arts & Crafts movie, no?

A Ghost Story

Edit: extremely long, almost painfully long, takes. It "shows" instead of "tells", doesn't insult the intelligence of the audience...magnifique.

When I first saw this movie in the early 90s, I had never seen anything like it. It was at the beginning of 90's Indie because it was cheap but its art house in its storytelling.

There are no main characters. The camera is like a fly that follows one person or people eavesdropping on their life and conversation and then these people pass someone on the street and the camera turns around and starts following them like a fly.

You can say the movie is about nothing... Just a day in the life of Austin, TX and the city is the protagonist. You don't know anything about the multitude of characters but what you can glean from the few minutes you hang out with them.

Some say its just a movie about weirdos and the Austin scene back then but the lack of narrative or storyline and characters only linked by place and time was new...at least to me.

Plus the movie is funny and entertaining.

Many of the independent filmmakers of that period credit the film with inspiring or opening doors for them, perhaps most famously Kevin Smith, who has said on numerous occasions that the film was the inspiration for Clerks.


It only cost $23,000 to make and it was all Linklater with a 16mm camera.

It's subtitled but The Great Beauty is the most beautiful Italian film I have yet seen.
