You got my curiosity!

Unfortunately, not really, I found this randomly on a torrent site and got fixated on it this week (watched it twice actually) because I was so entranced by the fluid animation. It almost looks like rotoscoping with how realistic a lot of the physical movement is. I would love to see more animation like this.
Closest maybe I could think of would be Mutafukaz which was a joint French and Japanese animated film. The difference is that while the style of Mutafukaz is very unique, the animation still is very, I don’t know, anime? Nova Seed doesn’t really have any similarly styled films that come to mind.

I have not seen Nova Seed (adding to my tk watch list), but below are some animated movies that might pique your interest (similar visuals style and/or plot/setting that is not typical of anime):
- Tekkon Kinkreet
- Mind Game
- Metropolis
- Blame (movie)

I just watched an interesting movie called “The World, The Flesh, and The Devil,” from 1959, starring Harry Belafonte. It is thought to be the first post-nuclear holocaust film, where Belafonte is trapped in a mine for a few days, and when he digs his way out, the entire world has been wiped out by a nuclear holocaust.
It’s not the greatest movie ever, with some occasional weak writing, and questionable acting, but it was still an entertaining watch just the same. One of those 6/10 movies that is somehow still compelling.

Only one so far, Black Bag. Great movie although you have to pay close attention or you might feel confused by the end.

Haven’t watched anything in a while, sadly. Any recommendations?

I watched Kingdom (2019) Japanese movie. It feels so fresh and actions are really life anime scenes. Totally loved it.

I watch Rosetta, directed by the Dardenne brothers. Because the main actress just died at 43 and i wanted to watch her first film. It was good

Saw X. A lot of people say it’s their favorite after the original, but I’m not sure I agree. The opening trap that made the poster being a dream sequence felt off, and the final act (where Saw films are usually strongest) felt underwhelming. Also, Amanda was quite visibly older despite this being a prequel to a 20 year old movie, which I found distracting.
It’s still a good 7/10 for having some of the more brutal and memorable traps in the series.

Mickey 17 (I posted about it already, suffice it to say it’s flaws bugged me to the point of ruining the film despite me wanting to enjoy it)
Mulholland Drive (re-watch) -
I watched Lost Highway for the first time recently (both Lynch films) and wanted to compare. It made me appreciate both actually. MD is surprisingly brisk and varied and well paced in a way that sneakily draws you into a Lynch film without you really noticing or feeling it until the end … such that it’s “success” makes a lot of sense. But LH’s more gritty and disturbing atmosphere was appreciated by comparison too.
For someone seeing them for the first time, seeing them back to back could be quite cool I suspect.

Mulholland Drive can indeed initially seem almost like a normal movie.
Lucky you to have enjoy Lost Highway for the first time!

In a cinema no less!

Good suggestion.
BOTH of those movies have been on my list for a long time, and I’ve never seen either of them. My son is a cinephile and a massive Lynch fan. I’ll suggest this double-feature to him for the next time we have movie night. I’ll bet he’ll like that.

I’m genuinely curious to see how it goes!
