About
You’ll likely connect with this if you’re drawn to bleak, meditative stories about routine and endurance, and you can handle long stretches of quiet; Not for you if you need fast plot turns or clear answers, like in Melancholia or Werckmeister Harmonies.
Pros: hypnotic, immersive atmosphere; striking black-and-white visuals; haunting, memorable score | Cons: extremely slow pace; repetitive daily routines; minimal dialogue, thin plot
