Hi there,
I hope my title as well as the examples shown in the picture get the idea across of what I'm looking for. Doesn't matter what the genre is, I am just looking for movies which are shot in this grim lighting.
Also, for fun, try and guess which movies the pictures come from.
Answer
Suspiria (2018)Black Swan
The Road
Requiem for a Dream is a must. Children of Men, too.
This was the first thing that came to mind.
Fuck you for reminding me that this depressing film exists.
I remember the movie as being practically traumatizing the first time I watched it and then I didn't watch it again for like two decades. I watched it again last year and was surprised that it's not nearly as bad as I remembered it being. I guess movies have shifted so much in the traumatizing direction that Requiem for a Dream has been outmatched.
Or maybe I just remembered it well enough that it didn't shock so much.
Literally mentioned this film yesterday when someone asked if Jared Leto had been in anything successful.
Was it successful? It's always been kind of niche as far as I can tell. Most people have not seen it and those who have seen it appreciated it but generally only want to watch it once.
Financially, no. Culturally, yes.
Fair enough.
Honestly? >!He's pretty damn good in the role, too!<
