While I agree, it’s honestly not one of aronofsky’s most fucked up movies imo.

Yes, I was thinking Requiem for a Dream or The Fine Art of Love

edit: Pi is another one from Aronofsky that’s fucked up

It was originally screened with My Neighbor Totoro……

Btw I agree. It’s an absolutely devastatingly beautiful movie.

It was the 80s. I’m sure they were all told it wasn’t bad and to go outside.

I’m pretty sure they put them together because that’s how you keep everyone from becoming suicidally depressed after watching Grave of the Fireflies D:

Reminds me of the movie “Nobody knows”, also from a real story, also Japanese.
Whatsoever, anything relating to kids’ suffering is…it’s hard.

Yea there’s something to this movie, even though it’s kinda b-grade sci-fi horror. The idea and its presentation has something can get under your skin … including “that scene” (if you know you know).

I watched it as fairly young kid, at home alone, with most lights off (never being really bothered by horror), and no horror movie has troubled me more than that as I fell asleep thinking about if “that place” actually exists.

The movie has an interesting story about how so much was cut or couldn’t even be filmed and the editing ended up all over the place, the movie ist barely coherent at times. But the feeling I got just thinking about that place was captivating nonetheless, great movie. Captures the vastness and loneliness of space well imo

This may be a basic film-bro™ answer, but Oldboy is a good baseline for “kinda fucked up” but also “really really good”. It’s even better on the second viewing. I even recommend watching Spike Lee’s misguided remake, because it makes you seriously appreciate the artistry behind what Park Chan-Wook was doing.

Agreed lol. Finally had the heart to watch it last weekend (after having known it was by A24 films). Suffice it to say, it fucked me up at different parts of the film. Amazing juxtaposition between cult/psychological horror and colorful, vibrant scenery. Great film, but probably won’t watch it again.

Have heard a lot about Hereditary too, but not sure if I have enough courage to watch yet.
