I always feel like the imbd "if you liked this movie, try this..." misses the mark a little. Does anyone have any suggestions for movies that have visuals something like this, same sense of magical realism?
I'm a big fan of surreal and quirky as well as prosaic and elegiac, so for better or worse here goes. I second the recommendations for Amelie, The Princess And The Warrior, Big Fish, and The Science Of Sleep. In addition, may I suggest:
Lawn Dogs Being There Harold And Maude What Dreams May Come Millions Heaven (2002) Toys Serendipity Always Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind City Of Lost Children A Very Long Engagement Punch-Drunk Love Joe Versus The Volcano (no really - give it a chance!)
If you liked this film I recommend you admit yourself to an insane asylum and go to the film nights. It doesn't matter what the asylum staff are showing; just so long as you are not out roaming the streets amongst sane people.
