Not sad, but depressing. The ones you love even though you felt like crap after watching it.
Here's a few:
Cries & Whispers (1972)
Happiness (1998)
Ordet (1955)
Amour (2012)
Schindler's List and Irreversible were a bit too much for me
Both were pretty brilliant movies but only one watch!
Just once:/
I found Amour (2012) unbearable from both a human and cinematic perspective. I love Haneke but after the first 30 minutes I found it impossibly slow.
Not sure how I'd feel about watching Schindler's List again, though I haven't much interest in watching most movies more than once.
Maybe I'll check out Irreversible.
I'd consider Irreversible more disturbing than depressing but there are definitely depressing elements in it. You should check it out.
shareSchindler's List was factual...the events in that film make me wonder how we're all the same species
Irreversible really was brilliant but it's got no rewatch value
A violent rape happens, a beautiful woman is slain, there are a bunch of disturbing scenes and it's all told in reverse...It's pretty great movie making but damn, only one viewing for me!
You jogged my memory. Saw it on a few movie lists (forget what I was searching for) but never got to it.
