What were some movies you had to look up explanations of after watching? (leminal.space)

Beau is Afraid was the last one I recall. I think it was mostly the latter half of the movie where I started to get a bit confused and needed the ending explained to me.

What movies made you look up some kind of explanation afterwards? I feel like I have done it several times in the past for more surreal movies but can't think of any other examples.

It can also be a TV show.

Which one is your fav out of this list?

Of these, I think mother!. The Images and vibes there are taking up the most rent-free space in my brain.

I neglected to mention Gasper Noe; basically everything he's done. But his work leans too hard into palpable horrors for me to ever actively recommend.

Titane is excellent, though I prefer Ducournau’s previous film Raw

Honestly it seems like a lot of Aronofsky films are deeper than they appear at surface level.

Loved Pi back in the day.
