Wasp (Andrea Arnold) UK s16mm Color 2003 (Other films: Red Road)
Stark, bleak. Shot in style that I think is similar to that of Lynne Ramsay, emphasizing empathy with characters, regardless of their failures.

World of Glory (Roy Andersson) SE 35mm Color 1991 (Other films: Songs from the Second Floor)
Gray, bleak, choreaographed movements, ghastly expressionless extras, "post-modern" ie characters look at camera
Notable scenes: Jews being gassed in the back of a truck via a tailpipe hose, a boy getting "Volvo" tattooed on his forehead, "It's horrible being unable to see"
Je t'Aime John Wayne (Toby Macdonald) UK 35mm BW 2000 (Other films: A Bout de Souffle)

Bridges documentary/fiction
Nocturne (Lars Von Trier) DK 1980 (8mm?) (Other films: Dancer in the Dark, Dogville, Breaking the Waves)
Darkly lit, blue lighting in some scenes, images move in and out of dark around frame

"Visual Poetry"
