Beau Is Afraid (2023)
Amazing art
This is high-art and not in a pretentious way. This is our shakespear. Dont let the word "art" scare you, either. Its not "art" in the "a blank canvas" way. It still has a story, characters, emotions etc. I can already tell what the complainst will be: namely the "confusion" about what is happening, and people expecting a horror film. Don't let confusion concern you. Just experience the different set-pieces, the actors, the stuff happening, and the questions and emotions it invokes. It will invoke a variety of complex emotions. Also, watch it with others if possible (especially in a theater). The film is an experiment and its kinda meta in that a part of the experiment seems to be seeing how people react to different things (laughing when it's inappropriate, complete silence when its supposed to be funny, people laughing to break the tension etc). Its awesome, and it gives me hope for the future of cinema. Expect copycats if it does well financially. Watch this instead of that new Wes Anderson crap. This does what Wes Anderson thinks he is doing.
