Movies with similar narrative

I found Upstream Color similar to films like Paranoid Park or Melancholia from the narrative point of view. They are really not my cup of coffee, but maybe I should give them a try.

It reminded me of Last Year at Marienbad.

As I mentioned in another thread, I found the narrative to be a bit like Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind in reverse.

Only the closed mind is certain.

Any Malick film of recent memory. And I mean that in a good way. I like different voices in Cinema with challenging Narratives and unorthodox filming techniques. It's an experience like none other

Movies which were already mentioned (like, Another Earth and Melancholia)

And I'll add "The Fountain".

I'm not a big fan of such movies though.

"Upstream Color" reminds me a lot of David Lynch's movies. Especially "Lost Highway" comes to mind.
