are there any completely incoherent movies? no plot, no discernible connections between scenes, nothing familiar or recognizable at all, just hyperpostmodernist schizo images in sequence

Holy Motors
Carax is about at coherent as it's possible to get, it's just abstract
Yeah but its trash and you won't like jt
Cremaster Cycle
I actually watched all 5 of them. They’re not even that good but the imagery, sets and costumes are fantastic. I rewatch the third one sometimes. Even then sometimes I can’t stomach the pretentiousness. Still, very weird and singular, recommend them. Also River of Fundament if you can handle some fricking gross stuff.
Where do you watch anon?
Lost Highway is coherent once you realize it's Lynch's cuk fantasy, but it's almost an incredible movie. What your describing is absurdly hard to make.
How would it be hard. It would be incredibly easy. Arguably easier then making a perfectly coherent film.
Just write a bunch of unrelated scenes as if they are from different movies. Film them. Put them all together in a randomized order.
Twenty hour standing ovation at Cannes.
Very late godard
Late Godard is like if a 3 year old made art house
lmao filtered
>here is my moobie it's called Da Picture Book
I agree, that shit was awful.
Stan Brakhage's work
This. Just experimental non-narrative films in general. You’re not asking for anything special or original, OP.
Aggro Dr1ft was nearly that
this version of seventh seal
mirror
daisies
eden and after
Avengers endgame
Yeah, didn't watch any of the other marvel flicks, don't read comics. Had no idea what was happening in that film.
You sounded moronic then.
Wanted to see what all the hype was about. Still don't get it. What's the appeal of a bunch of metrosexuals in motorcycle suits?
Not sure if this counts but I watched Possession (1981) a few days ago and could not make any fricking sense of it. Very entertaining movie though
I thought it was about a guy's wife getting possessed then she possesses her husband. It was in the title.
inland empire is close to what you are saying, the scenes have basically no connection to each other but some of them are highly interesting
>the scenes have basically no connection to each other
False!
The scenes in Inland Empire are connected by an elusive (but not really that opaque) dream logic; and by the fact that they clearly constitute, when taken together, a descent from a surface/dream/light plane towards an underground/reality/dark plane, the movie gradually unpeeling the dream layer by layer and making us stare at the underlying horror. A common theme in Lynch, really, most of his work follows this pattern, but in IL it is presented in a more pure, almost plotless form.
I'll give this one credit, I legit can't tell if they shot it on purpose to have no continuity but they did a good job making it look like they had no clue what they were doing
That one feels like a straight-up homage to Jon Waters
What about Plan 9 From Outer Space or whatever that Ed Wood movie was called?
Yes, The Tree of Life (2011)
??
The movie is like:
>let's put a dinosaur scene here because we all come from a single protozoan cell and it's a very depth metaphor and then let's cut that other guy from the movie because I'm a fricking self indulgent schizophrenic without real talent
You being mad about the dinosaur scene doesn't mean the entire movie makes no narrative sense and no scenes have any cohesion
Tree of Life makes sense. Malick improvises a lot and doesn't write tight scripts, but everything in the movie makes sense
>but everything in the movie makes sense
No, it does't. Malick does't not improve at all, he directed Knight of Cups after Tree of Life.
Inland Empire.
moron
inland empire's plot is like "movie movie a woman in trouble acting rabbits tv movie acting acting movie scary fiction or reality identity movie"
Sort of. It makes more sense in the end, but even that is still vague.
how is it completely incoherent? it all makes sense once you understand what it's doing
This is completely coherent, the viewer just needs time to catch on to the structure of the film.
It's not entirely incoherent but On The Silver Globe comes pretty close.
?t=1881
Watch a bit of this and try to argue that it's coherent. You can read plot summaries and interpretations and string some stuff together, sure, but this is the most incomprehensible any film I watched has been.
Plenty.
You are completely moronic.
He was probably on his phone the entire time
Freddy Got Fingered
Sunless by Chris Marker
Mário Peixoto's Limite (1931)
Memento
possibly the worst example you could try and give
The movie made no sense
Bunel has some
Un Chien Andalou
Yeah Lost Highway
filtered beyond belief
Also Inland Empire
slightly less fitered, believable
not even remotely incoherent
Imagine not being able to understand Lost Highway lol. Third worldies taking pride in their ignorance is something else
i saw a guy summing up lost highway once and it was perfectly coherrent to someone like me who only has just seen it and couldnt really grasp everything yet. some movies just need multiple viewings and i'm okay with that.
Do you have a link or copypasta of the summary? I don't want to rewatch Lost Highway.
ugh... My Dinner with Andre?
I got memed into watching this. It's so not very good.
not in a so bad it's good way?
sorry but you dont enjoy cinema
>JUST STOP FRICKING TALKING: The Movie
Up, up, right, left, up, right. If he tries to segue into another anecdote, left, left, up, right.
This is bullshit but I concede that, after reading the screenplay, it works better as a written work.
buñuel's phantom of liberty tries to do just that
The Holy Mountain because stuff just happens and there's no reason you can't tell what's going on it's like mindblowing and then at the end they pull back the camera and you think wait is this just a movie did I just watch a movie inside a movie
You've probably only seen it once. The narrative is pretty clear and simple: a sage, a disciple, and a few rich people go on a quest to reach the holy mountain and obtain immortality.
Once you realize that the ending becomes pretty clear. It's through the movie itself that they obtain their immortality.
This is an ancient trope. The Epic of Gilgamesh does something similar.
Basically any "experimental" films though they're more like video art pieces and not actual cinema released movies. Harmony Korine's Gummo and Trash Humpers are well known examples
Mad God (2021)
Lots of dumb posts here. Another thread that serves as a daily reminder that the people who post with you on Cinemaphile are basically morons.
I’ve seen some but they’re usually animated

The Hourglass Sanatorium was hard as shit to follow
I got you covered anon. The Blame! OVA there are six logs. Not really a movie but close enough

Frick it I’m moronic
Chronolopolis kind of has a story that's simply enough to intuit but the whole movie is strictly surreal stop motion occultic statues doing weird thigns.
I saw a movie called On the Silver Globe that is very close to what you’re describing, including scenes of the director walking through Warsaw and explaining scenes he wasn’t able to shoot , placed where they would actually have gone in the movie itself
Robert Blake is based and definitely did not kill his wife. And even if he did she had it coming.
This one, also has some of the best sound design in cinema history
