This is a great one I never see people mention. It’s not like Martyrs or anything, more like Prisoners perhaps. A fine performance from Jack and very under-appreciated.
8MM with Cage is also good.
I think Dear Zachary is the worst experience I’ve had because it’s actually real so the helplessness isn’t just a story.

Dogville is misery porn that at some point crosses a line and becomes black comedy.
And I believe the director was fully aware of it

If you want more Eurocentric misery porn, watch this Brit flick. It's unrelentingly bleak as is expected from living in modern England.
>>212608811
Thanks for this recommendation. Looks very interesting.

That fucking Aussie flick “Snowtown”. Based on true events too. I don’t get depressed or disturbed by movies very often and people tend to hyperbolise the impact of a film but my god was that straya shit bleak

An all-time favorite movie of mine but damn I can’t watch it too often because it is absolutely soul crushing.

This one was great. It wasn't comically dark or miserable but the scene where PSH broke down crying because of his father hit me very hard. It's an excruciating sight seeing a man cry. Plus, everything goes wrong for everyone involved and it's very realistic in its setting and event transpiring.
>>212608896
Give me the rundown on that. What's the deal?

a serbian film
martyrs

>>212609085
>>212609026
I miss PSH.

There's only two actual actors in this entire movie and the rest are actual Naples natives and gangsters. It paints a very grim and bleak picture of how hopeless these South Italians are and how demonic the Camorra mafia in Europe is. They kill just as much and just as brutally as drug cartels but nobody knows outside of Europe.

This fits the bill.

>>212609436
but he didn't? he was literally killed early into the movie

>>212609351
>edgelord nihilist-fest
True but that's what it sets out to do and it actually does it in a much more plausible and palpable way than a lot of other movies. It is eerily realistic to life. So many men roam the streets burdened by wasted lives and quiet desperation like the Butcher. It stuck with me because my uncle had a lot of the same problems as the MC in that movie. Thanks for recommending Angst. I'll check it out. Lots of good movies in this thread. I'll chip in with this. It's directed by Gary Oldman. It's 10/10.

>>212609477
Nah, he kills the wrong guy. Watch again.

>>212609477
they killed the wrong guy, he was standing laughing

>>212609477
LOL

>>212609488
I just don't know what I'm supposed to get out of it that I don't already from just being familiar with the psychological profile of that sort of person, at least Buffalo 66 tackles a despicable person in an interesting and multifaceted way, even stuff like Mikey and Nikey or Naked deals with scum of the earth types that still lends them humanity, ISA is shit-tier Noe for me solely cos of how damn overbearing and one-dimensional it is

>>212609477
>>212609514
>>212609511
Irreversible was close to being a stone cold classic rather than just a glorified shock flick if only they just cut out the gimmicks and told the story as it should've been: play it linearly but don't show the rape well into the end. Make the audience believe, like the two men, that they got justice only for the final scene to be the rape unedited and uncut, as the movie laughs in your face for believing for a second justice was served. Also, make it clear Alex was pregnant and the rapist killed her (she succumbed to her wounds) and the baby in her stomach to drive home the nuclear despair. Maybe even include a scene where the two men are told they killed the wrong man just before the rape at the end.

>>212609591
I think it's better for her to live out her life like that, it's more depressing

>>212609591
You want to Hollywood-ify Irreversible (as much as you could even do that) when it's perfectly impactful just the way it is

>>212609564
You're trying to hold it up to American film styles and practices when it's a Eurofilm. One thing you'll notice is that Euro movies tend to be less dramaticized and stylized and more naturalistic/realistic. It may have felt one dimensional to you but it pretty much is showing you the life of an old man in France. It's definitely only fully appreciated if you're well versed in European style of filmmaking. Buffalo 66 is too whimsical sometimes and stylized to really hit, and that's by design. You can't compare the two. Apples and oranges. Naked is much closer to ISA than the other examples you posted.

>>212609626
What on earth are you talking about? That's not Hollywoodizing it in any way. If anything, doing that would make the rape more disturbing in context and probably wouldn't have gotten the film made at all. You're completely wrong.
>>212609624
But she would've ID'ed the guy and that nullifies the whole point of the ending. Her succumbing to the wounds she suffered and never being able to identify her attacker is much more in line with the film's themes. Marcus and Pierre also go to jail for killing the wrong man like morons.

>>212609351
This isn't that shocking of a movie in 2025. I'm sure it was in 1983 and it does have some novel filming techniques that I sure influenced a ton of things that came after, but I don't think it's as hard hitting as it would have been like 40 years ago.

>>212609591
Nah, it’s pure euroschlock. The club is called the damn Rectum and the whole thing is mostly farcical and obviously fetishistic and exhibitionistic. It doesn’t take rape seriously and yet takes itself very seriously.

>>212609657
I'm very familiar with European cinema as a whole, I wasn't even thinking of it in terms of American vs Euro when I just happened to namedrop a bunch of American films (and a Britbong one) by happenstance. All of this being said I'm not sure why context in this case makes my critiques less valid, it actually happens to be my perspective that a lot of european cinema suffers from his misery porn slant, but on the flipside some of the most nuanced most psychologically layered and riveting character studies and genre pieces have come out of there too. I'm well-versed in the filmmaking and ISA is cringe regardless

>>212609315
Only saw it once as a teenager and stuck with me ever since. Incredibly impactful film that doesn't need to show gore or anything explicit

>>212609756
True. I felt like it had the right idea for a great misery porn film but it was too stylized and schlocky, as you said, to properly take that idea to its most potent conclusion. It's something I've noticed with all of Noe's films. He's so close to touching something real but he always derails it with overstylizing everything to death.

>>212609783
Also, "naturalism" in reference to Noe is meme-worthy, literally one of the most stylized filmmakers ever, this is the film where he includes a title card saying "THIS IS ABOUT TO GET VIOLENT, YOU HAVE 30 SECONDS TO LEAVE THE CINEMA

>>212609591
there's a straight cut version

>>212609703
You mean she would've ID'd the guy that was killed that wasn't him? Yeah, that would make it more tragic.

>>212609783
If it is as you claim, I don't see what makes ISA "cringe" over any other European misery porn film. Euros show life as it is so it's not so much a problem as you say. They don't suffer from it. Their culture is just less infantilized, and they don't have the capital to waste on media that just numbs them to the facts of life. Plus, the entire system of filmmaking over there is more open to risky and more personal projects.

>>212609703
Your idea was bad and your opinion on what would make for a “better movie” is stupid, nobody agrees with you, get over it you sperg.

>>212609556
Leave zoomer

>>212609947
A lot of European misery porn films ARE cringe, but the devil is in the details. People like the Butcher do exist, but I get nothing out of presenting them solely as they are (which you can't even say Noe does, his provocateur nature trumps any "objective" "some ppl rly just be like this" deal) without any compelling basis or psychological insight.

>>212609871
It is naturalistic. I've seen the damn film. It's a lot more so than say Irreversible or any of this other works. It stands true for the rest but ISA is pretty tame in its stylization.

>>212609958
You type like an American. That's more of a miserable fate than any of the movies here.

>>212610030
I will agree it's *more* tame than everything he did going forward but just because we have shit like "10 minute rape scene Irreversible" and "most maximalist film ever made Enter the Void" to compare it to doesn't make it naturalistic.

>>212610068
Tell that to Zod's snapped neck

>>212610078
But it is, albeit not as much as I initially made it out to be. Good film, probably Noe's best given its straightforward and no (overt) meme schticks.

>>212610153
We can agree to disagree.

This film is one of the hardest I've ever watched. There's absolutely no catharsis. No divine or even circumstantial comeuppance. Just nihilistic, sadistic misery for everyone involved. I felt like absolute shit after watching it for the first time and after showing it to a friend also felt like shit again after watching it.

The home invasion triple rape and murder scene is especially difficult to watch even if it's not as explicit as something like A Serbian Film. The overall atmosphere and blasé, casually dismissive attitude towards human life is hard to stomach.

>>212609591
It's the only movie that benefits from being told in reverse. Monica's interactions with Vincent and her friend have an entirely different context after what you've just seen, and the idyllic life she had in the beginning is the most depressing way they could have ended it. Irreversible isn't so much about rape, the perpetrator was a faggot anyway.

>>212620040
Just lose the weight nigga damn

Hey anons, question: why do so many of your "bleak" and "misery" films feature rape or a serial killer?

I have nothing against rape, I even enjoy it in a movie but it is so stupid. Being raped is not even the worst thing that can happen to a woman, some women fall in love with their rapist like that 1 american woman who became semi famous writing how she dated her rapist after the rape and even left her husband for the rapist.

When I think of misery I think of male misery, men receive no help in real life. Abandoned men, poor men, men who were overly protected by their moms and then forced into the world are like peak misery/pathetic, but no movie seems to tackle that. Like yeah, a lonely old man in france is sad, but desu all old people are somewhat sad. Where are the stories about young men living in fucking modern society and not receiving love even from their own progressive parents? The stories about male school shooters showing how the school system creates school shooters because female and male teachers hate boys and specifically bully them either openly or indirectly? Stories about young men never finding love with no unrealistic cute girl coming to save him but rather society hating the character because single men are seen as worthless?

And I am not even mysoginist, women can have sad stories too but they are so unrealistic. Irl only like 1 woman in 100k ends up living a truly tragic life, everyone will try to save a woman irl. Men are like 3 in every 10 will die tragically or a suicide and yet there are few realistic sad stories about them.

That's also why the serial killer misery porn is stupid, the serial killer is sme soft sigma who doesn't want to kill but has to and regrets it or one who wants to kill and is super evil and gets away with killing babies and the point of the sad flick is to show you the bad man got away.

Are there films about male loneliness inceldom, being abandoned and not being old as fuck or mixed with serial killers?

>>212620968

It is almost like most movies are politically charged and used as a propaganda, different ones are getting made when political climate change. If you are looking for what was criticized within particular society without grifters jumping in to cash out on a new fad you need to look for movies made during that time period, not after shit changed. There are quite a lot of those surprisingly enough, granted they are much more tongue in check to get past government control.

I am talking about successful directors that made both (like Rogozhkin in the example I replied to), with opposite propaganda message
I agree it's propaganda but the lack of commitment is sickening and should have no place in the arts; if you live in communism and want to really be a movie director, either
1. abstain
2. go to a non-communist country and be a movie director
3. be a 100% committed communist movie director who would kill, murder, and maim for communism

>>212622676
It is hypocritical because movies criticizing capitalism are not allowed to be made anywhere. There are plenty of horrible capitalism has caused. Yet the most criticism you will get is "yeah the wolf of wall street and sometimes a couple capitalists scam people but capitlaism is still the best and communism is bad and you should always support the rich even if taxing them would make your life better don't think about it dumb right winger and ignore the pedo islands too!".

Like I know we are on 4chan but communism shouldn't be controversial, to simply say all people deserve to at least not die of hunger and a roof infuriates half of america (the retarded half) like crazy. Directors going "communism bad" is pathetic and hypocritical, they are just chasing money by criticising a system where the 99% would be better off.

Reading the plot descriptions of some movies on wikipedia, quite a lot of them have to do with street performers/entertainers and shit huh. Do directors have no creativity or do they just love the sad clown cliche?

Calvary (2014)

It's quite blackpilling, don't even know if that's the film's actual intention either. The priest is like the last good man in a sea of degnerates that mock him and only have contempt for him and his perceived naivety. He's the perfect conduit for showing how the modern world and it's people are confusing for anyone who yearns for a bygone culture.

>>212622676
>they couldn't make during it?
you are saying that like the director proposed the script, and was politely rejected
in reality if he submitted a script resembling "the chekist" he would have been shot on the spot, with all his family, and the scripwriter, and his family
it takes a special kind of person to make movies in communism (because all movies, with a few exceptions like Tarkovsky who fled without his wife!, in communism were legitimizing The Party), and that kind of person is not suitable to make movies outside communism either

I don't really know why but you reminded me of pic related... didn't make me cry, but I was profoundly shocked that the USSR launched it to the global market (it even won an ironical Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 1981) as if they just invented sliced bread, the atom bomb, and "the movie that will end cinema" ALL AT THE SAME TIME.

I always remember this Scottish film I saw when I was a kid called Ratcatcher
Shit still depresses me just thinking about it

>>212623144
>Le kill le pedo tape makers
You are a normal faggot. There is 0 merit in movies presenting a plot point about killing pedos as if they were the most evil monsters ever.

>>212623292
The Millstone men should go back in the closet.

more "decrepitude porn" than "misery porn"
but if you commit to wanting to watch it, DO NOT READ UP ON IT because WHAT DID I JUST TELL YOU?!
you'll want to squeeze all the juice out of it on first viewing

>>212609315
That Metallica music video kicks all the ass!

I'm surrpised no one has posted such an obvious pick. The ending completely shifts everything we viewed previously. The black teacher is revealed to have only "helped" Derek so he can groom him to be a Nazi spy for the police, never giving a fuck in actuality about his well being or him changing. He renounces his ideology only for it to mean squat due to what I just mentioned and his brother being killed for a slight offense he made to some joggers who shoot him dead over it. He shat all over his skinhead friends and girlfriend due to some misguided (and ultimately bogus) journey to redemption which was just to make him into a rat by the black teacher. He either goes full nuclear and goes to a ghetto and shoots at everyone he sees or just kills himself.

>>212622315
Came here to post this.
Anons itt who haven't watched it are in for a treat; one of my favorites.

>>212623498
>such an obvious pick
it's too obvious, too heavy handed e.g. the mother smoking cigarettes, the fat friend who is the van driver
tries to suck too many dicks in the same time... the jewish recipe of mixing dogshit into the chocolate cake
etc.

>>212623292
They are evil monsters. I suggest you throw out your CP and find a way to realise that a fag who lives in Buttfuck Arizona has no right to judge good British films

is this the movie where they rape her on the pinball machine?
can't tell if I've seen it lol

>>212623840
NTA but I'd rather live in buttfuck arizona than in good'ol great britain (including cumbria)

autists like you convinced antifa niggers to beat up 20 year olds dating SHE WAS JUST 18 YOU SICK FUCK

>>212608541
The hardest erections I’ve ever had were when I was around my fat-assed friend and I was hoping her back to her dorm from drinking too much. There was always the realization I could grab handfuls of that thick white booty and go to town on her.

Which of course I didn’t, because I’m not black and I know that’s College Rape 101.

>>212623906
Sorry for the bad grammar I’m going 80 miles down the highway and trying not to die. I’m not brown and I live in Ohio.

Completely agree which is why Communism is unlikely to be tried AGAIN

On the one hand, you have the laxest gun laws in the country and an overall good sense of freedom. On the other, most places you live will be at least half spic, or failing that, you'll be surrounded by injuns with a plain-as-day hatred of whitey.

>>212615275
>>212616355
has this been memed recently? theres mass murders and 20-30 minutes of straight execution scenes but theres zero point or moral to this movie, you walk away with nothing learned and its just your classic eastern euro nihilist piece

I've watched most of the movies in this thread and think Joker 2 actually has them beat because this snuff film has nothing resembling any artistic thought into it. It's 2 hours of a satanic Hollywood Jew showing YOU what will happen to you if you dare stand up against the system or even accidentally become any sort of symbol for resistance against ZOG. Your life will be dismantled and you will be raped and killed. He also had Brendan Gleeson, an Irish goy under his payroll, make an insidious Catholic joke just to drive home this fact. Todd Phillips, even for a Jew, is one sick evil fuck.

>>212609871
Don't forget the loud shotgun sound followed by push-in of the camera that occur at random moments in the film. Naturalistic my ass.

>>212624030
Redskins have a well-deserved hatred of whitey considering we did to them what we claim the Jews are doing to us.

>>212623862
Yes

>>212609591

Nah

deserved or not, be mindful who you call neighbors or ralax around.

>>212624218
>>212609591
put the rape in the beginning, as the first scene, so people can just walk out after the 15 minutes not needing to see the shitty movie

They should’ve filmed the scene so I can watch it in VR. I want to be the guy that walked in on the rape, but instead of leaving I hide around the corner and masturbate to Bellucci’s fat ass plaps.

>>212608082 (OP)
Whatever (1999)
I spit on your grave

>>212608167
For years and years I heard about how this was the most fucked up and disturbing movie ever made and then I watched it and was incredibly let down. I don't know for the life of me how this movie got that reputation.

>>212624218
he has a good point but is honestly overestimating the film entirely. the rape isn't meant to hold that much significance. it was just for shock value, Noe was always open about this. Anon's take prerequisites another completely different entirely. Irreversible is a provocation on film, not anything meant to tell an actual harrowing story about a tragedy. It's a fucking goof, a joke.

/thread

Rented several times at blockbuster, first time I saw a film as miserable and violent as this
It's on tubi

>>212624662
Redditors basically, it's the same people that think the Descent is a good horror movie, and that have The Thing or The Shinning as their favourite movies.

What is the psychology behind enjoying misery films apart from conformation bias for doomers
Recs: the girl next door, human centipede 2, basketball diaries , audition , crumb.

>>212625816
Only really watched them when i was younger. Young curiosity i assume. Same reason highschool me would sit and watch some guy break a jar in his own ass. It's not even that it bothers me more now, i just don't see the point.

>>212625816
>crumb
I was expecting to see a movie about a so-so cartoon artist whose work I've seen but haven't really liked (or disliked for that matter)... what I got was shocking and horrific... all that was missing was a plapmonster for a wife and the tableau was complete
>What is the psychology behind enjoying misery films apart from conformation bias for doomers
same reason people listen to blues music

although this thread is kinda biased towards gore and horror stuff which is a bit sad as I find those kinda movies too boring to enjoy (I would probably draw the line at Angst or smth)

>>212627030
Why do people listen to blues music

>>212608960
I just watched this for a second time because I barely remember the first. What a true kino, really bleak though.

>>212609226
I love this movie for models and overal production quality. But damn, it's so fuckin boring. And the idea for the plot is extra stupid.

>>212627051
depends on the person I guess

I watched this and I remember little about it but there was nothing in it to make it "misery porn." Also it was mid.

>>212617702
This and Amores Perros.
>>212619271
Also this.
>>212622720
This is the contrary, also mid.

I agree but now you actually reminded me of pic rel
also McCabe & Mrs. Miller
not my kinda misery but hey a thread is a thread

>>212619886
I bet you'd go full Rambo in that situation.

>>212620323
I liked it enough. It's in that genre of "feature length Twilight Zone episode" movie which I generally enjoy.

How has no one posted Aniara yet? The definition of bleak.

>>212629115
they are only posting ara ara's

>>212612056
I genuinely feel kinda bad for Gaga. I remember watching a couple of interviews with her before the dumpster fire came out and she seemed so exited about playing Harley and apparently spent a long time writing songs and making choreography for the musical scenes. Then the movie comes out and the vast majority of her scenes got cut and they didn't use a single song she wrote/filmed in the final cut. And to top it all off, some people believe she turned the movie into a musical despite it being one before she even got casted so she gets a lot of the blame for it being shit.

>>212620262
What is the English title of this? Looks interesting.

>>212629857
Boku no Pico

Feel the same way about the snow white spic. She got dog-piled by a bunch of adults still dumbfounded by the fact that disney churns out mostly shit nowadays.

>>212612802
>>212613829
I watched Man Bites Dog with my mother because she loves that serial killer shit, and somehow totally fucking forgot that it had that brutal gang rape halfway through.
It was not great apologizing for that as it played out in the background.

>>212629952
Rachel Zegler put her foot in her mouth during interviews, so I don't feel bad for her.

>>212629952
>She got dog-piled by a bunch of adults still dumbfounded by the fact that disney churns out mostly shit nowadays.
the amusing part is that those people are still Disney fans and want to talk about nothing but Disney.

they are just in denial and blaming women in the films is part of their grieving process its the same for TLOU franchise.

I've read that McCarthy was chuffed with how this movie turned out yet I couldn't watch 10 minutes of it

Pretty much every movie directed by Tyler Perry and Lee Daniels.

>>212630767
It would still get him close if he googled "Leviafan movie" so I'm still mostly correct.

why was a funny stereotype in the 2010's that all right wingers were obsessed with Knut Hamsun's "Hunger"?

here's some misery porn for you bro
all the advantage without the smell

>>212634651
Oh lel there's that too. Yeah, Cyrillic and Greek are very similar. If you know one, it's not hard to learn the other. Hebrew is the same.

>>212609900
both this and the Nic Cage version are great.

>>212608811
>>212635724
any other misery porn featuring Nic Cage?
I'm quite surprised that when he had a financial lull (not sure if he's still up to acting) no person with a script he barely waited to "expose" a person impervious to external influences, except emotion, like Nic Cage, came forward and paid him a relatively huge sum to make his dream cum tru
and I bet he would have LOVED it too

>>212609591
>Maybe even include a scene where the two men are told they killed the wrong man
I never understood why this is considered so horrible in the movie. Yeah, they didn't get back at the right guy, but the guy they killed was literally about to rape, so he was the same breed of scumbag. It's not like they hurt anyone who didn't deserve it.

>>212615939
good kino

It's the quite bar scene that gets me.

Mandy

The incredible melting man 1977 Not sure if it was intentional since it was supposed to be a parody of 50s sci finmovies and prop producers turned it into straight horror but the whole story is just a astronaut risked his life in space, freaks out at what’s happening to him and loses his mind, wanders around the desert and looking at himself, then melts and gets swept into a garbage can. Not really comedy material. The tone music and tone is so weird too

>>212616175
Schizo headcanon

try the sunset limited

here's one you should watch at least once in your life.

>>212637960
one of the highlights in film in the past 10 years for me

>>212608587
no only the tasteful intercourse scene

Clean, Shaven is pretty bleak

>>212638828
don't really like the description but on the other hand it ain't a movie I could have found on my own either so thank you, I'll check it out

>>212639259
Sure thing, McCarthy was directly involved, he was on set. Also why couldn't you watch The Road? Was it too depressing, or for some other reason.

Kill List. I hate everything about the movie

>>212638972
couldn't get past a quarter
too fuckin retarded, sorry, and I actually liked Dogville and Riget

>>212608082 (OP)
>Post movies that are purely made of anguish, despair, misery and unrelenting bleakness.
So almost every movie released in the past 10 years?

>>212639320
probably the wardrobe and how the scenery and the camera work combined, don't remember quite well

>>212639386
that's watered down low quality anguish-despair-misery-bleakness bro, we want the hard stuff

>>212637960

looks kino, will have to give it a watch soon

>>212639580
be sure to watch "The Viewing" (episode 7) from the "Cabinet of Curiosities" also
it's by the same director but I enjoyed it terribly more than I did enjoy Mandy
not really suffering porn though

man im not gonna watch all this shit
can someone just tell me the good ones?
