I'm tired of movies bombarding me with out-of-touch idealism and trite superficially positive morals that don't reflect real life struggles in the slightest. ITT: post films that don't rely on cheap optimism, post real films where there is no hope.

Pretty much every slav movie is a trip into nihilistic despair. Loveless by this same director is actually more depressing.
Check Dear Zachary, too. It gives you a bit of hope in the end but by god if you won't lose your faith in humanity by the time you get there.

>nihilism
Nihilism is refusing to look human suffering in the eye, i.e. Hollywood garbage. Movies like Jagten and Leviathan are more life affirming than any fantasy shit this board jacks off to.
Xavier Young
Eden Lake
fuck that film
Parker Flores
Au Hasard isn't "hopeless". It might not be happy-go-lucky, but I wouldn't call it hopeless.
The ending is actually nice.
>Check Dear Zachary, too. It gives you a bit of hope in the end but by god if you won't lose your faith in humanity by the time you get there.
Really cheap tug-your-heartstrings movie. No better than a Dateline episode. Predictable from the start with a by-the-number coloring book feel.
Henry Parker
I looked into it and reviews are all bad
Charles Davis
is this dare I say the best film ever made?
Cooper Walker
Not really, no
Pretty damn good tho
I actually like A Man Escaped more tho
Daniel Jackson
Adam Morales
