There are days when I almost think I understand the world.
And then there are days when I just want to play A Serious Man on repeat for all eternity.
What's your go-to filmic reminder of the fragility of knowledge behind humanity's persistent ache for fuller understanding?
(Ten bucks said TBL comes first to mind for the majority. 😉)
I can tolerate most Coen Bros. comedies, but TBL is highly overrated (imho). A Serious Man is utterly brilliant.
Stalker is one of my go-tos, as is Nostalghia. Tarkovsky has shaped my worldview.
The Seventh Seal.
Ashes of Time Redux.
I remember being intellectually impressed by La Jetee. (Read the other comments on your post, was like, "Oh yeah!")
A Man Condemned.
Oh, what a rich and wonderful list. Tarkovsky's films carry whole cosmos unto themselves. Thank you for sharing these.
