bleakest most depressing movie ever?


Posible spoilers





??? I've seen a lot of really dark movies like "The Reflecting Skin" and "The hours" but i think this one takes the cake. Everything about it is disturbing taken on a literal or a symbolic level. Almost all the dialogue, most of the acting and everything in the storyline. I can't imagine a movie more depressing then one where all the main characters are murdered by the end and to top it off ath the very end a child commits suicide and then the world apparently enters armagedon.



btw I loved it and to be honest agreed with most of the philosophy (sp) of the movie and the characters dialogue disturbingly enough.

Try Requiem For A Dream.

I was affected by this film and feeling depressed for days after watching it... I've watched it several times since and it always leaves me with this uncomfortable, empty feeling. But I guess that's also part of its magnificence.

The Remains of the Day (1993)

so many movies, so little time
