Hmmm not really sure . Maybe most recently The Killing of a Sacred Deer would qualify. hmm... not seeing this at all. I love his movies. yeah this one was not as good as The Lobster but still pretty unique, dark and quirky and I enjoy those qualities a lot. They're the only two of his films I've seen. I liked both a lot, Scared Deer maybe a little more. Looking forward to The Favourite. |

I haven't seen it, but apparently Derek Jarman's BLUE - 93' is an 80min cinematic experience of narration over a plain blue screen for the entire runtime. Perhaps this could be an monotonous experience, or even an artful exhilarating one. Have not yet seen a Jarman film. Sounds interesting. I like minimalist cinema. |

Probably one of the 1960s Andy Warhol movies, like "Chelsea Girls" or "Empire"

Just thought of this as I posted it in another thread, Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles. Again, not necessarily a bad film, but it's pretty slow moving by current or classic Hollywood standards. Or even Antonioni standards for that matter.
Pretty much the entire 3 1/2 hour plot

Probably one of the 1960s Andy Warhol movies, like "Chelsea Girls" or "Empire" The movie showing a guy sleeping doesn't beat those? is pretty "eventful" by Warhol's standards, 14 half-hour one-take "scenes" of various Factory goings-on shown on split-screen so that there's always two "narratives" to follow. Empire and Sleep are both more or less equally pretty much the end-point of cinema minimalism, save a blank screen. Both are a very long, single take of a very uneventful activity. I think the more interesting examples are the ones given within the realms of narrative cinema. Warhol's are more like art pieces. |

I will say that "Trash" and "Heat" are two of the funniest movies I have ever seen in my life. The humor has nothing to do with Warhol or the director or anything, except the female talent involved. Holly Woodlawn in "Trash" and Andrea Feldman, Sylvia Miles and Pat Ast in "Heat". "Heat" is actually in my top five favorite movies of all time. |

I think I've seen at least one of those, but I don't remember much about them. They were a move away from his art pieces toward narrative films, directed by Paul Morrissey with Warhol more or less just overseeing or putting his name to them. Moving along even further I do remember really enjoying Flesh for Frankenstein, but then being disappointed with Blood for Dracula. Again I haven't seen either in at least 20 years. |

Well, if it helps, "Trash" is NYC squalor whereas "Heat" is oversexed LA. So, they are kind of opposite in that way. I've actually never seen the Frankenstein movie or the Dracula movie. I have a friend who really likes one of them, but not the other one. I think the one he likes has Monique Von Mooren slurping away at Joe Dallesandro's armpits. |

Then it would probably be Heat I've seen. According to Wikipedia, Monique Von Mooren only appears in Flesh for Frankenstein. |

Don't nobody throw tomatoes, but "No Country For Old Men."
I'm a big Coen brothers fan, but this one did not resonate with me at all. End of the day, great movie, great cast. I've come around to it after several re-watches, but for whatever reason, it is a chore for me to get through.
