What is the saddest, most depressing film you've ever seen? Bonus if it directly tackles suicide in a non romanticised manner
Antichrist
Synecdoche
Paris, Texas was also pure feel kino
SNY. Watch yms analysis after.
youre gonna feel
Infernal Affairs isn't so depressing as a whole but man it has feels https://youtu.be/yYBQDikvszY
Also just the concept of a man who's completely aware that he's losing his own humanity through his actions but still feels duty bound to continue
Malle's Le Feu Follet is absolutely essential! If you have a problem gettting into older movies you can also check out the norwegian remake "Oslo, August 31st" which is damn fine modern adaption.

Sounds great, thanks anon. Will watch this tonight
Tyrannosaur
Walking with Dinosaurs: Death of a Dynasty
>>81765415
Filth. Really hits /pol/ /tv/ /gif/ in the gut since the dude is pretty much an alpha depiction of all of us losing our head in the exact same manner while still destroying other's lives around us in our insecurity.
Lilya 4-ever and The Seventh Continent...both of these wrecked me
>>81765415
Dancer in the Dark
The Road
Threads (1984)
Definitely pic related, although for some reason The Wrestler always hit me hard as well.
peppermint candy
>>81765634
Original is a masterpiece. I will check the adaptation.
Blue is melancholy kino
The original ending of Brazil was so kino the studio forced them to recut and tack on a forced happy one instead to please the normalscum

go back to raping dogs, adam

MELACHOLIA
>>81765451
I laughed throughout this piece of shit. It's all so tacky and ridiculous.
Peppermint candy, a Korean movie. It starts with the guy committing suicide and then it goes backwards.
>>81769375
I've got an irrational fear of a world ending catastrophe happening, so this film was uncomfortable for me to watch, but in a good way.
>when she finds her husband dead in the stables. That raw, naked fear.
>>81769375
Childhood is idolizing Lars von Trier. Growing up is realizing Lav Diaz makes more sense.
Paths of Glory will catch you by surprise at the end
>>81767413
threads messed me up. That scene when the mushroom cloud comes up and you see that woman piss herself with fear. That shit stuck with me.
>>81769520
Fucking this. That movie presents everything in such a raw and realistic way it seriously scared me.
>>81769296
I didn't know there was a version with a happy ending, I knew there were like 3 versions but not that the change were too radical.
In the version I watched Pryce gets caught and tortured, then allucinates being rescued and live happily, but the last scene is him in the torture chair singing to himself and the torturers saying he's gone insane.
>>81769520
>>81769624
Threads creeped me out most of the way but the very last scene was just scarring, the dead, bloody chunk of meat just being dropped like that, and then specially the way it cuts to credits.
>>81769942
Yeah, that's the legit ending, which is the best IMHO. The edited version ends with them escaping and living a happy life, which pretty much misses the whole point of the movie.
>>81765624
Are the sequels good? I only saw the first one
>>81766886
Don't mean to be that guy, but the book is better. Way darker and more depressing.
>>81770013
That really is fucking bullshit, the whole allucination bit happens very fast since it's supposed to, like a dream, trying to past that as the legit ending is ridiculous, I hope at least in the "happy ending" edit they had the decency of extending the scene a bit since otherwise it'd make zero sense.

The Man Who Sleeps
Oslo, August 31st
The Pawnbroker
Submarino
>>81769375
Is it odd that I felt a strange comfort when I watched this film? It's as if everything felt alright, I guess I must have been depressed back then.
>>81769461
If you want to watch something with a similar feeling of doom although less intelligent, watch 'Knowing' by Alex Proyas, most people here will probably say it's silly but I found it enjoyable enough.

Good choices.
Scanner Darkly kinda fucked up me up. Moral Orel season 2 and 3 are like spiral to crippling depression and misanthropy in animated form, though there is 'happy' moments here and there.
Comedy is very depressing in it's own way, I'd imagine anyone who has been long enough on 4chan will feel some of it because the ironic memes and the culture of this place.
The comedy is exactly what you are looking for
>>81765415
Love + Pop
I Stand Alone
Songs From the Second Floor (the rest of the trilogy is also very good)
>>81770306
its certainly strangely satisfying to look at
>>81770259
>last one doesn't tense up
I know which one's a keeper
The Free Will. It's about a rapist being released from prison

Threads made me so anti-nukes. I'm so scared of the norks using them.

I think Paris, Texas is one of the very few movies that really make me tear up. It also made me realise just how effective the Wenders + Shepard combo was.
Inside Llewyn Davis
The Video Diary of Ricardo Lopez

What movie is this from?
Just watched this tonight.
Hit me close because I'm an Ausfag, some terrifying and draining shit.

This one's actually pretty greatthat scene when his trashy girlfriend breaks down
>>81765415
A Brighter Summer Day
if you have the patience for the entire thing (it goes by fast) then it will leave you an emotional wreck
