directed by niki de saint phalle about her own personal trauma with her father. i’m glad this is niche because it’s very hard to stomach (tw: sa) 😓
i also love experimental films in general! very niche, obscure, and weird! some other recos are:
- as i was moving ahead occasionally i saw brief glimpses of beauty (2000) by jonas mekas
- the private life of a cat (1946) by maya deren
- rabbits (2002) by david lynch

yorgos lanthimos can really pull off some wacky stuff! also ‘Petite Maman’, ’Pan’s Labyrinth’, ‘Synecdoche, New York’ are good ones!!

not sure if this is niche but i never hear anyone talking about gregg araki so. i love this movie. it’s got amazing set design and characters and a soundtrack with shoegaze and 90s underground indie on it. plot is about aliens and queer identity, which i also love.

just had an epiphany about how everyone seeks something different from art, how we all perceive it based on who we are as individuals … for the longest time in art/film school i’ve been scared to pursue the art i want out of fear that it will turn out very bad.
but i hope we make art anyway despite that fear, as long as it sustains ourselves and the people who matter. i hope we all get to freely make “bad” art 🫂
