It’s a bit hard to describe but I felt like both had moments of spiraling confusion with the protagonist watching their worlds fall apart around them that I found really captivating.
I’m trying to think of other examples but The Fall and The Father are ones that came to mind. They are both fantastic films I’d highly recommend.
frefi@lemmy.dbzer0.com mentioned mother! (2017) which was the other example that was on the tip of my tongue.
Thank you! That was the third example that on the tip of my tongue. I have been meaning to watch Perfect Blue and Paprika. I own a copy of both so I’ll definitely check them out.
Not so fun fact for you: I didn’t know what The Lighthouse was about and watched it one night when I was visiting my dad
Oof, that reminds me of the first time I watched Mulholland Drive, I watched it with my parents 🫥 I didn’t know what it was about either when I picked it out
