I really liked Ryan goslings directorial debut “lost river” that was critically panned. Everyone hated it, seemingly.
I also love a film called “set fire to the stars” which I think is criminally under appreciated and misunderstood.
Yeah and it’s interesting cos some of the classics we know of now were panned upon release. Sometimes a thing, a movie say, is out of step with its time, it’s ahead of its time, or it’s released at a time politically that’s not correct for its era, and then later with time it’s reevaluated. I can think of countless movies and cult movies where this is the case. Even Orson Welles, one of the greatest ever filmmakers struggled his entire career as he was making films that studied power and corruption at a time when everyone wanted world war 2 propaganda movies, to support the war effort and later, to promote the American dream.
IIN to enjoy terrible movies?
