CINEOS
Not what a film is about.
What it does to you.
Describe a feeling, and CINEOS finds the films built out of it.
Five films hold the map
Every film here is read against these five. Start with one you know, and step sideways from it.
- A man is arrested for pretending to be a famous director — then plays himself in the film about it, until you can no longer tell where the lie ends and the longing begins.Close-Up
- Two people in a hallway. A dress. A cigarette. Everything that matters is in what they don't say.In the Mood for Love
- Two hours of one chase down one road — and somehow the most emotional action film ever made, where every crash is a sentence and water is the only prayer.Mad Max: Fury Road
- A poor family cons its way into a rich one, floor by floor — until the house gives up its secret and the whole staircase of class comes crashing down.Parasite
- The philosophical pole. Time moves like water through stone. What you're searching for may not survive being found.Stalker
