dogtooth was pretty cool, don't know if i would want to watch other movies like it though.
Levi Torres
anything by Wes Anderson
they shoot you in the head if you stop talking in a fast low monotone voice
Joshua Nelson
user, could you explain stupid me the purpose of Dogtooth. It's been a while since I've seen it but it's one of those films I still can't figure out. Seems too organized to be random
Eli Anderson
la grande bouffe.
Sebastian Jackson
Miss Violence is another deadpan Greek absurdist-violent drama
Ayden Jenkins
I had to turn this off
Felt too familiar
Gavin Diaz
Wes Anderson isn't realism at all
Christopher Cooper
Jacob Evans
Brody Perry
Thanks for the suggestion, it's already on the watchlist. I wasn't wanting to stick to the new wave of Greek weirdos, but they're welcome.
I would add anything by Apichatpong Weerasethakul to my original list as well. His stuff definitely has a magical realism vibe to it.
Austin Sanders
The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie
The Exterminating Angel
That Obscure Object of Desire
Liam Nguyen

Cameron Martin
The Lobster and Alps are very similar OP. Lanthimos is very consistent.
Tyler Sanchez
Cheers, I'll look into them
Seen them all, quite a big fan of his.
Do you know if Kinetta is any good?
I know my house mate has it on dvd, so i'll be watching it soon.
Definitely looking forward to his new film 'The Killing of a Sacred Deer'

>"A group of men hire some prostitutes and go to a villa in the countryside. There, they engage in group sex and resolve to eat themselves to death."
This sounds brilliant.
Xavier Young
>surreal realism
Jose Price
it's a brilliant movie with a brilliant cast. highly recommended.
Carson Turner
although the villa is certainly not in the countryside but rather in the middle of paris.
Carter Williams
Yes.
Films that portray surreal, or absurdist elements as a natural part in an otherwise realistic or mundane environment.
Carter Campbell
Magical Girl, spanish film with pretty much that deadpan tone
Adam Powell
...
Evan Smith
The War Zone
Andrew Mitchell
added to the list, cheerio boyos

Mason Walker

Jordan Gomez
Dancer in the Dark
Xavier Green

Aiden Sanchez

>fucking angels
Jordan King

Jason Fisher
>Julien Donkey Boy
>Gummo

Jack Flores
