I enjoy off beat films, that make you think or surprise. Can be disturbing or not. Any recommendations?

Koyaanisqatsi. (No cast, no script. Just music and ... footage. Some slowed down, some sped up. Sounds boring in print, but (although it starts off slowly) it's a wonderful and sometimes moving fable about the madness of modern life).

Thanks iwonder. I go on an odd film kick now and again.

I watched happiness by Todd Solenz yesterday which was erm quite something. I'm not entirely sure I'm OK after that ConfusedEnvy

Nomadland, with Frances McDormand, was pretty special.

Nomadland was sublime.

'Pili' - in Swahili, but subtitled, a very moving, thought provoking and unusual film.
