I want to see something dark and intellectual
Gaspar Noe or Lars von Trier film types?
Maybe not as intense as Noe, but something original like a Von Trier or a Bunuel?
Bunuel would make you feel good and humored, probably, and Von Trier is unpredictable.
I like unpredictabilty, but yes, not too unsettling like some of von Trier.
Bunuel or a French classic could make it so your friends like it, at least.
My best friend wants the darkest, most viceral thing possible, but my other friends might be bothered, so I'd say a humorous yet incisive film about relationships or identity.
You dont want to provoke too many traumatic emotions, though.
Yeah, I can only handle going through my past traumas in pieces. I want something newer and more scientifically challenging
Something with modern physics or an analogously creative idea?
Yes, maybe ideas about existence, about cloning and interacting with yourself at different times.
Ingmar bergman is too old, then?
I want something modern, withing 15 years because film outside of the USA has become VERY edgy lately.
So a foreign intellectual modern movie,
And it can be low budget, since a lot of great ideas can be sussed out for no money.
Denis Villanueve or Chan wook Park?
