10. “An Andalusian Dog” (1929)

Luis Buñuel, Salvador Dalí

A film that is considered as the beginning of surrealism. It was shocking and criticized by the public at the time of its release due to its difficult and bizarre scenes and music, but its reputation is now high. I recommend it if you want to see incomprehensibly beautiful scenes.

9. “Kamikaze Girls” (2004)

Tetsuya Nakashima

The bittersweet friendship story between Momoko, who wears a ‘Lolita’ dress, a princess-like fashion from the Rococo era, and Ichigo, the ‘Sukeban’, a high school girl biker gang. The provocative and flashy visuals and the actors’ attire, typical of Japanese B-movies from the early 2000s, stand out.

8. “All about Lily Chou-chou” (2001)

Shunji Iwai

This movie is the result of the y2k project. This is a story about stubborn middle school students who have their own needs and anxieties, and about the singer “Lily Chu-Chu” who deeply shakes their mind. The most intense growth barrel dominates its 2 hours and 37 minutes of running time, and you are going to be mesmerized by Lily Chou-Chou’s voice and their pain.

7. “Drowning Love” (2016)

Yamato

It is a film based on a cartoon of the same name that depicts the anxiously shaking heart of a teenager as if he were drowning. Things like tension and desire are mixed to beautifully create a unique atmosphere.

6. “Decision to Leave” (2022)

Park Chan-wook

Chan Wook Park’s movie is defined as a fascination. People who fascinated each other. Just like a mist, a sea, a forest. Swaying, leaving, forgetting each other, and love. You are going to cry. By fascinated.

5. “Fallen Angels” (1995)

Wong Kar Wai

We are passing by the era of impulse. A movie with more dead people than dialogue. Because I can’t understand it, I yearn for their beautiful lives.

4. Perfect Blue (1997)

Satoshi Kon

Scenes created by mysterious images. The audience becomes lost in a thoroughly beautiful and solid world.

3. “In the Mood for Love” (2000)

Wang ka wai

There is no impossible love. No, as much it is impossible, love becomes more beautiful. The most realistic impossible reason. We are going to be attracted to it too easily.

2. I’m a Cyborg, But That’s OK (2006)

Chan-wook Park

A girl who believes herself is a cyborg and a guy who can steal everything. The two met in the middle of the same mental hospital as the limit of unbelievable imagination. About the warmest suffering in the world.

1. Chungking Express (1994)

Wong Ka wai

A film said to have reached the peak of the Hong Kong film scene in the 90s. Using director Wong Kar-wai’s unique technique, scenes are connected like a dream, and provocative images appear and disappear vaguely. It continues to receive a lot of love to this day.
