Top 10 Mind Bending Japanese Films | Japan Cinema
Japanese cinema has a reputation for embracing the baffling and bizarre so choosing the Top 10 mind-scramblers was no easy task. The criteria* here demand more than just a few WTF moments and head-scratcher plotlines. These are the films that send your mind careening out of control, down the road to madness. Park your rational brain outside as you roll along with some of the most mind-bending films Japanese cinema has to offer. Criteria: With one exception, I confined contenders to movies made or released in the US in the 21st century.Creative imagery and storytelling is key. I’ve seen horror films where people are killed by many things – monsters, depression, disease, or storms – but never an entire town destroyed by obsession with a geometric shape. Imagine the diabolical havoc you could wreak on your enemies if you could control their subconscious minds through dreams. Half existentialist art film, half lowbrow comedy, Symbol is best approached with a Zen, let-it-happen attitude.

Baraka (film)
Baraka is a 1992 non-narrative documentary film directed by Ron Fricke. The film is often compared to Koyaanisqatsi, the first of the Qatsi films by Godfrey Reggio for which Fricke was cinematographer. Baraka was the first film in over twenty years to be photographed in the 70mm Todd-AO format, and the first film ever to be restored and scanned at 8K resolution. Baraka is a documentary film with no narrative or voice-over. The film is Ron Fricke’s follow-up to Godfrey Reggio’s similar non-verbal documentary film Koyaanisqatsi. Locations featured include the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, the Ryoan temple in Kyoto, Lake Natron in Tanzania, burning oil fields in Kuwait, the smouldering precipice of an active volcano, a busy subway terminal, tribal celebrations of the Masai in Kenya, and chanting monks in the Dip Tse Chok Ling monastery. Baraka has a score of 80% off Rotten Tomatoes out of 25 reviews.[4] Roger Ebert included the film in his "Great Movies" list.

Time Out's 50 Greatest Animated Films – Part 4 - Time Out Film
Click here for 10 through to 2 20. Pinocchio (1940) Directed by Hamilton Luske & Ben SharpsteenLook ma, no strings! A small, wooden puppet is brutalised en route to adulthood in this alternatively consoling and repellent retelling of Carlo Collodi's 1883 short story which was Uncle Walt's second full-length animation. 19. Directed by Jimmy T MurakamiWinter fuel? 18. Directed by Wolfgang ReithermanNo, not that kind of Jungle music…The film in which all the technical expertise of Disney came together with the verve and optimism of mid-'60s California to create something approaching total animated filmmaking, and the last to be personally produced by Walt Disney himself. Minor characters, such as the Beatles-esque vultures, who inexplicably perform barbershop ragga, stand as pop-cultural markers and it’s to one of the minor villains that the film belongs: King Louie, the scat-singing orangutan whose 'I Wanna Be Like You' is the movie’s stand-out number. 17. 16. 15. 14. 13. 12. 11.

Héloïse d’Argenteuil
Héloïse imagined in a mid-19th-century engraving Héloïse d'Argenteuil (/ˈɛloʊ.iːz/ or /ˈhɛloʊ.iːz/; French: [elɔˈiz]; 1090?[1]/1100? – 16 May 1164) was a French nun, writer, scholar, and abbess, best known for her love affair and correspondence with Peter Abélard. Background[edit] Héloïse (variously spelled Helöise, Héloyse, Hélose, Heloisa, Helouisa, Eloise, and Aloysia, among other variations) was a brilliant scholar of Latin, Greek and Hebrew,[2] and had a reputation for intelligence and insight. Historical events[edit] In his Historia Calamitatum, an autobiographical piece written around 1132, Abélard tells the story of his seduction of Héloïse, whom he met when in 1115 he himself, like Fulbert, became a canon in Paris. It is unclear how old Heloise was at this time. Fulbert, however, began to spread news of the marriage, in order to punish Abelard for the damage done to his reputation. Correspondence[edit] About this time, correspondence began between the two former lovers. Burial[edit]
