Ckulakov Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Dear Filmmakers, I understand that this might have been discussed, but I had no luck in searching for it. Can you give me a list of some of the best films that are mainly visually and musicly motivated. They have to tell the story with little character to character interaction and little to no dialogue. Something that trails a character and reveals his emotions in a very visual and musicly motivated way. Even short films would help. I would really appreciate it if you could help me out. This is very important, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaan Shenberger Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 first to come to mind is nic roeg's walkabout. it conveys some pretty sophisticated concepts with little dialogue, and some of the most sophisticated sequences have zero dialogue.

Ignacio Aguilar Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Check out any Terrence Malick film, specially "Days of Heaven" and "The New World". Try also Kubrick's "2001". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitay Artenstein Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Hi, I think the most visual directors working today are from East Asia. The first name that springs to mind is Taiwanese director Tsai Ming-liang, who uses almost no dialogue, and when his characters do speak, they do so in song and music (a strange concept, I know, but it really works well). You should try watching 'The Wayward Cloud', about a frustrated porno actor. If you're more patient and are not afraid of "slow" movies, you should also try 'The Hole'. Hope this helps. Best regards, Nitay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
