Re: Sad, dream-like films?
I'd like to see someone argue that Grave of the Fireflies is not the saddest movie recommended in this thread. I'd also say it's amongst the most dream-like.
I'm a little surprised LV didn't recommend Only God Forgives.

Re: Sad, dream-like films?
I guess the OP lead me to believe he was looking for a specific strain of sadness, a melancholy, lonely sort of semi-nostalgia. A feeling of transience. Looking into the past. Those were the kinds of films I was suggesting.turned2black wrote:I'd like to see someone argue that Grave of the Fireflies is not the saddest movie recommended in this thread.

Re: Sad, dream-like films?
Wow guys, so many suggestions
I've downloaded Children of Men, Broken Flowers, Grave of the Fireflies, Mulholland Drive and Upstream Color just to start off with.
Ruddock, we're definitely Hannibal bros
I'll be shedding a tear when its all over. Fuck NBC.
LoathedVermin72 hit the nail on the head! That's EXACTLY the type of feeling I was looking for.

I'm not a fan of Spectacular Now. Brutally formulaic and bland. Kyle Chandler's really good in it, though.

Re: Sad, dream-like films?
Honestly, the first thing that came to mind after reading the OP is Tarkovsky's The Mirror.
For a recent film, try Before I Disappear. It's on Netflix. A lot of people shit on it but there are some beautiful sequences and it has the hazy, meandering melancholia after-hours feel down.
