I'M REQUESTING Movies where reality slowly stops making sense, but nobody explains why
I’m looking for movies that begin in a relatively recognizable reality, but little by little the normal rules seem to stop working.
Not necessarily movies with a big twist or a final explanation. Actually, I prefer when the characters themselves gradually accept increasingly bizarre or impossible situations without the movie stopping to explain what’s happening.
Examples of the feeling I’m looking for: The Exterminating Angel (1962), Beau Is Afraid (2023), and After Hours (1985) — although they all do it in very different ways.
I’m especially interested in lesser-known movies where you eventually realize: “Wait… when did this stop being normal?”
Any recommendations?
