not op, but anyone got something I can lose myself completely into, I am posttripping and words kinda scramble themselves. not necessarily trippy, I don't want that, I want something very impressionistic (for lack of a better, for lack of a closer term). Stuff like the tree of life is good.

Anything made by Stanley Kubrick or David Lynch

>> No.2488925

Here is a list of pretentious movies always named by pseudo-intellectuals:

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Lost in Translation (or anything with Bill Murray besides Groundhog Day and Ghostbusters)
Eyes Wide Shut
Blade Runner
Fight Club
American Beauty
Donnie Darko
Magnolia
Requiem for a Dream

All of those movies are overrated, steaming piles of shit. Except possibly Blade Runner, since it is so iconic and cinematic, but its plot is nearly nonexistent.

Has anyone seen the recent film adaptation of Coriolanus?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsYrGIQnmxo

I really want to see it but its never been to a local theater and I haven't found a decent torrent or streaming web version of it. The reviews I've read seem sort of mixed and the trailers are all action heavy for a Shakespeare play. Reviews and trailers are unreliable anyway so what are your opinions on it?
