Gut-wrenching realism/Musical (genre hybrids!!!)

[luceluna]

What's your favorite genre-hybrid film?

Mine has to be Dancer in the Dark. i think this is THE most powerful film i have ever seen. it is absolutely incredible. i could literally barely watch the screen - it was so painful. Bjork is so fucking amazing.... you felt EVERYTHING she felt. this is a movie that reduced entire cinemas to utter despair... i challenge you not to cry in this film. i NEVER cry in movies.... but Dancer in the Dark changed that. simply incredible. you MUST see this film. even if you HATE Bjork (how dare you?? lol), this is compulsary. i order you to see it. every aspect, from music to cinematography to acting, is 5-fucking-stars.



this film is also a genre-hybrid. i can't believe i sat through a film with elements of a musical in it and didn't even think twice (noramally i would vomit, hehe). anyone else have favorites?

mmm i will have to disagree with you on this one... sorry!
i couldn't even sit thru it, i had to turn it off in the first half.

if you like movies like this you should rent felicia's journey. it is completely tortured and intense. i'll lend you the book if you want.
