Movies of a similar feel?
I had no idea of where else to post, so I decided to give it a go on the First Snow forums.
My friend and I enjoy watching films that have a gritty, desolate, despairing feel to them. I have no idea what genre that would be but Brick, Memento, the Lookout, the Machinist, Donnie Darko, and First snow are examples of the type of movies I mean. While it matters not if the movies have any sort of twist to them, or need to be detective stories; I would greatly appreciate any suggestions of movies of a similar vein. I suppose the only criterion is that the characters live awful lives. Whether or not they triumph in the end is of no importance, as long as the feel remains the same throughout the films.
So...viewing suggestions of movies you liked to watch, but wouldn't want to be in, would be very welcome.
Thanks in advance for any help.
