suburbannature Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I've been a film buff for so long that it feels like a long time since I've been truly captivated by a film. Can someone recommend a beautifully-shot, female-led film or series that sticks with you for days after? Something like Lost in Translation, Under the Skin, Blue is the Warmest Color, 3 Women, Mulholland Dr, Millennium Mambo, Opening Night, Sunset Blvd. Extra points for a great score/soundtrack. I'm under-seen on Japanese/Korean cinema, so may be some gems in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorNation Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 if you’re into old movies, the classic film noirs Laura and Leave Her To Heaven (both starring Gene Tierney) are incredible and also Gilda starting Rita Hayworth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But maybe The Cleaning Lady its suspense Edited October 17, 2022 by Insanity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnigmaticAndroid Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 (edited) Doesn't fit everything you listed, but one of my personal hidden gems is The United States of Tara. It's a TV show created by Diablo Cody and it stars Toni Collette in low-key the performance of her career. She plays a mother with dissociative identity disorder and it focuses on trying to deal with something so unstable while trying to create a healthy life for a family. And it's a half-hour dramedy so it's not a super intense binge either Edited October 19, 2022 by EnigmaticAndroid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zasderfght Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Everything Everywhere All At Once. It is technically female-led and will DEFINITELY stick with you days after, although, it's not mysterious/eerie/ethereal like Mulholland Dr. and Under the Skin.
