in no particular order, here are some i really enjoy :) most of them are pretty popular, though so i don’t know if they’ll be new to you !
- anything by jacques demy (i haven‘t seen all of his films, but i love everything i have seen <3 they’ll definitely cheer you up. something a little less popular by him is donkey skin, which is so fun!!)
- also anything by wong kar wai ! (fallen angels is a personal favorite. i’d also recommended happy together if you want something that’ll make you cry haha)
- the double life of veronique (a recent watch for me, super dreamy yet psychological)
- la pointe-curte (directed by agnes varda. if you enjoy marriage story, you’ll like this too ! it’s slow and dialogue heavy, but definitely moving)
hope you find something new from here and feel better soon !!
