Mickey 17 (I posted about it already, suffice it to say it’s flaws bugged me to the point of ruining the film despite me wanting to enjoy it)

Mulholland Drive (re-watch) -

I watched Lost Highway for the first time recently (both Lynch films) and wanted to compare. It made me appreciate both actually. MD is surprisingly brisk and varied and well paced in a way that sneakily draws you into a Lynch film without you really noticing or feeling it until the end … such that it’s “success” makes a lot of sense. But LH’s more gritty and disturbing atmosphere was appreciated by comparison too.

For someone seeing them for the first time, seeing them back to back could be quite cool I suspect.

Nova Seed.

I somehow missed this years ago when it came out. Joint Canadian and Japanese animated film.

Really tight and fluid animation style while also being kind of sketchy and seeming very organic. Only a handful of voice actors. Very interesting foley work, eschewing traditional foley and relying a lot on humans being recorded making sounds with their mouths.

Came for the animation, stayed for the interesting plot, chill soundtrack, and the Lion Man.

You got my curiosity! Do you have other movies like this one you liked?

Unfortunately, not really, I found this randomly on a torrent site and got fixated on it this week (watched it twice actually) because I was so entranced by the fluid animation. It almost looks like rotoscoping with how realistic a lot of the physical movement is. I would love to see more animation like this. In a way it reminds of the animation of Ralph Bakshi.

Closest maybe I could think of would be Mutafukaz which was a joint French and Japanese animated film. The difference is that while the style of Mutafukaz is very unique, the animation still is very, I don't know, anime? Nova Seed doesn't really have any similarly styled films that come to mind.
