      Man I keep forgetting it’s those guys. Yes, The Endless and Resolution are amazing sci-fi. Another in a similar vein, albeit different creators, is Coherence. Best to go in blind on that one too.

          Yes! I love movies like that. When it makes you think “How are the logistics behind this film’s production even possible?”

              I can’t think of anything else that intricate that was shot without a script or that the narrative was an entirely pre/post-production construction. But I am not the arbiter of film knowledge either.

              Oh, not to that level. But thinking of stuff where I don’t even know how they write something so complicated and keep it straight. ‘Primer’, the TV show ‘Dark’, many of Nolan’s films to a lesser extent. But then even stuff like Doctor Strange, the crazy CGI they do is just mind blowing to me. Everything Everywhere comes to mind. I’m having trouble thinking of more, but I know there’s been some lately that I had that feeling. Can’t think of them off the top of my head at the moment.

                  Thanks, will check this out.

                  Oh Under The Skin is one of my favorites. It’s a masterclass in uneasiness. I love so-called arthouse films. So much of what A24 is doing lately has been right up my alley. Everything Everywhere rose to my favorite of all time but I loved The Green Knight, Lamb, Men, all of Ari Asters movies. I’m really disappointed in the announcement they are moving to more mainstream, blockbuster toe fare.
