Movies that feel like a "fever dream" but actually have a plot

[troxad]

I’m looking for something that feels completely surreal or trippy while you're watching it, but everything actually makes sense by the end. I love that "what am I even looking at" feeling, as long as it isn't just weird for the sake of being weird.

Do you have any favorites that are visually wild or have a really dark, sarcastic sense of humor? I’ve already seen stuff like The Menu and Parasite, so I’m looking for something a bit more under the radar if possible.

Good luck, have fun, don’t die. Not even sure it pulled together at the end. Most bizarre thing I’ve ever seen.

Asteroid City

Lowlifes
strange darling

The Machinist - not exactly under the radar, but pretty old now so possibly you haven’t seen it for a while?

Sunlight. It’s very funny.

Synecdoche New York

Barbarella

Lots of Ken Russell films

The Surfer with Nick Cage. 🤯

The Big Lebowski
Shutter Island (not funny, though)

I loved this!

Everything Everywhere All At Once

Swiss army man

Institute Benjamenta, or This Dream People Call Human Life. I bloody love it. It’s also quite funny in places.

The greasy strangler

i got this,...

The Cell (2000)

I've just watched "If I had legs I'd kick you", bizarre but compelling- I keep thinking about it days later. Also agree with "Synecdoche, New York" suggestion

Banshees in Inershilin (sp) might suit you it is an absolute riot of a film, I loved it it is funny till it isn't but it is so good.

Tusk.
You'll never look at a Walrus the same again.Ever.

It’s a while since I saw it but Triangle of Sadness was a bit like this. I enjoyed it.

I felt like this about Memento, and Mulholland Drive.

I’ll also say Triangle of Sadness or The Square (both directed by Ruben Ostlund.

Ari Aster films - Midsommar?

I’d generally go for European films - try on Mubi?

I’d also try The Drama which is out now.

Vanilla Sky
