It's a bit hard to describe but I felt like both had moments of spiraling confusion with the protagonist watching their worlds fall apart around them that I found really captivating.

I'm trying to think of other examples but The Fall and The Father are ones that came to mind. They are both fantastic films I'd highly recommend.


frefi@lemmy.dbzer0.com mentioned mother! (2017) which was the other example that was on the tip of my tongue.

I haven't seen the example you've listed (The Fall is already on my watchlist and I'm now adding The Father to it too), but I'll try to recommend some that I hope are relevant:

  • Possession (1981)
  • Eraserhead (1977)
  • Perfect Blue (1997)
  • Paprika (2006)
  • mother! (2017)
  • House (1977)
  • Mulholland Drive (2001)
  • Videodrome (1983)
  • eXistenZ (1999)
  • The Hourglass Sanatorium (1973)
  • Beau Is Afraid (2023)
  • Dream Scenario (2023)
  • Dementia (1955)
  • Annihilation (2018)
  • Donnie Darko (2001)
  • The Wolf House (2018)
  • The Lighthouse (2019)
  • The Third Part of the Night (1971)
  • The Devil (1973 or 1988 depending where you look)

I loved Annihilation (2018). I even read the book before watching the movie, still good.

[–] CorrodedCranium@leminal.space 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The author's written a few other books outside of the Southern Reach trilogy that are pretty good as well

[–] Flumpkin@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 years ago

Thanks! I'll check out Borne by Jeff Vandermeer

[–] CorrodedCranium@leminal.space 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

mother! (2017)

Thank you! That was the third example that on the tip of my tongue. I have been meaning to watch Perfect Blue and Paprika. I own a copy of both so I'll definitely check them out.

Not so fun fact for you: I didn't know what The Lighthouse was about and watched it one night when I was visiting my dad

[–] frefi@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago

Oof, that reminds me of the first time I watched Mulholland Drive, I watched it with my parents 🫥 I didn't know what it was about either when I picked it out

[–] Chef_Boyargee@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I’d have to recommend Pi (1998). Runners up would probably be Requiem For A Dream (2000) and Black Swan (2010)

[–] whirledoutside@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Shutter Island, maybe?

I saw it when it came out and didn't think that much of it, then rewatched it a few months ago and really got taken along on its tide.

[–] CorrodedCranium@leminal.space 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Do you think Shutter Island relies heavily on a twist? I feel like I've heard how the movie ends

[–] whirledoutside@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah unquestionably it does. It certainly doesn't build in the same way The Father does for instance, but I think on a rewatch (and therefore knowing the twist) it becomes more about a gradual unravelling of Leo's perceptions.

[–] Flumpkin@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 years ago

There is an older post on reddit for "Mindfuck movies"

[–] Alenalda@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I haven't seen these movies, but I saw Beau is Afraid last year and it sounds like it fits the bill. Very strange film.

[–] CorrodedCranium@leminal.space 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Oh yeah Beau is Afraid definitely fits this
