  Melancholia is the bleakest movie I’ve ever seen.

  The most fun movie to deal with bleakness is Gamera 3: Revenge of Irys

  Spoilers for a 2018 movie

  I’m not a horror fan, so my opinion probably isn’t worth much, but I found the ending to Hereditary unsatisfying not because evil wins, but because the supernatural aspect made it completely ridiculous and removed all fear.

  I think a much better ending would’ve been leaning into the family history of psychosis instead of the paranormal. Because real people actually have schizophrenia and get psychosis, which is legitimately terrifying because it can happen to anyone at any time.

  I can’t believe nobody has mentioned 12 Monkeys. It checks all 3 marks including having “fate” as an integral part of the plot.

    I thought The Fountain was known for being off puttingly pretentious, though it’s been so long since I’ve seen it. All I can remember is a space tree orb

  On the other hand Hallmark makes twenty new films a year with the same plot. They’re hollow, but full of hope and lighthearted. You could probably make the argument that that is a pretty cynical way to produce art in itself. But frankly if I want something to make me want to kill myself, I think that’s probably better than bleak depressioncore films way too up their own ass about the depravity of man, I already see that enough in the news

  If zis were un American film I would have a gun, and perhaps a little car chase. But it is French.

  Merde.

  Reality is already bleak enough. Don’t need it when I try to escape it.

      It’s the mid 2020’s. Being forced to live a life maligned with your own truest self is basically universal right now.

  This genre used to be my jam pre-transition (veering between gut punch and lay-down-and-die melancholy), but these days i need a buddy to watch them with, if i watch them at all…

  Just stop the movie at the cliffhanger at the end of act 2 when the hero gets knocked out/almoat killed/gives up/etc. Stop the movie then.

  Example: Good Will Hunting - there’s a part near the end when Will says FUCK YOU to everyone around him and storms off. Stop there, and don’t let the movie conclude where Will caves to everyone’s terrible demands that he leaves town and goes after the girl.

    Or an ending where he succumbs to alcoholism, leads a miserable life doing menial labor. The girl (forgot her name) walks by him, doesn’t even have a flicker of recognition. Just a broken man tortured by what could have been.
