6 Overlooked Films About Our Obsession with Death
There’s something about death that pulls us in—dark, mysterious, impossible to ignore.
These six films explore that obsession, wrapped in shadows, decay, and quiet dread.
1️⃣ 71 Fragments of a Chronology of Chance
Michael Haneke’s “Glacier Trilogy” changed me once.
His cold, precise lens captures society’s cracks and media’s crushing grip on our minds.
If media kills spirit, Haneke is the executioner.
2️⃣ The Virgin Suicides
Sofia Coppola’s haunting beauty hides a death wish beneath delicate frames.
Her aesthetic flirts with decay, romanticizing a fall from innocence into oblivion.
3️⃣ Next Stop, Heaven
Early Hirokazu Kore-eda blends documentary style with meditation on mortality.
If film is memory, can it hold death close enough to understand life?
4️⃣ Paradise: Love
Death’s allure isn’t just finality—it’s the mystery beyond.
This film dives into our desperate hope for an afterlife, a place to outrun the void.
5️⃣ The Southern
Fernando Solanas’s blue-toned nightscape echoes the shadows of death like an elegy.
A visual feast lost in blur—here’s hoping for a restored cut someday.
6️⃣ Farewell Party
Reminiscent of Haneke’s Amour, this Israeli film looks at aging and the fear of dying.
But unlike the heaviness you expect, it carries a tender lightness—death’s soft farewell.
What film made you confront death in a way you didn’t expect?
