Or anything Powell and Pressburger really
Black Narcissus is a once-banned British psychological drama revolving around the growing tensions amongst a group of angelical nuns who’ve been relocated to the Himalayan mountains. Banned due to its sexual inferences and potentially offensive portrayal of religious figures. I love movies with monastic themes and the coloring in this film is otherworldly.
Highly recommend The Red Shoes and A Matter of Life and Death as well!

There is a gasp-inducing shot at least once every minute for the entire runtime. Crazy that this was made almost entirely in a studio, you'd never know it.

Ling Ma made me enjoy reading again
It is in the most surreal situations that a person feels the most present, the closest to reality.
Themes include alienated women in bizarre circumstances, husbands speaking in $$$$, yeti lovemaking, immigration, ancient burial rituals, and so much more
