Slow Cinema, a top 10 list.

I like slow cinema. I can’t watch it all the time, doing that would drive me crazy.

The art of slow cinema is a great blog, and the best resource on the web for Slow cinema. The most recent post there is a list of the top 10 slow cinema films

I don’t want to make a “Top 10” or “Best of Slow Cinema” list. Rather, I would like to mention those films that have left scars, which I carry with me every day, which still influence the way I see (slow) films today and will do in future. It’s films that have changed the way I live and the way I look at things around me. Source: The art(s) of slow cinema — 2019 the year in review

I liked the idea that these films “left scars,” because one of the characteristics of slow cinema is that it sticks with you (even if you’d rather it didn’t), it haunts the viewer for a long time after they finish watching it.

Are you intrigued yet? I hope so, but be warned: Slow cinema takes something out of me, watching it is a commitment so I only watch it when I’m in the right headspace for it (or right-enough headspace).
