Films that you find strange, but compelling.

Lat's stat with 'The Pillow Book'.

Here is a trailer.

 
HAL!!! That looks suspiciously like a chick flick. I have not been made to watch one of thise since my ex wife shown me the door in 2016 :ROFLMAO:
 
I think you will find it is anything but a chickflick. The first few seconds of the trailer are deceiving.

Try to find the whole film.

Force yourself to watch it. Then let me know if you changed your mind.

It's a Japanese classic.
 
An erotic drama with some weird things going on....I have not seen it but know about it.
Greenaway ,the director, makes strange intense films ,but many have an erotic center to them then things can go south.and get dangerous or weird. I have only seen one of his- 'The Cook, the Thief, His Wife, and her Lover ....Helen Mirren and Michael Gambon are in that one....a good but intense film that might not appeal to all.

BTW....I enjoyed Doctor Sleep (a sequel of sorts to The Shining) with Ewan Mc Gregor , who is in Pillow Book.
 
I suspect the version of 'The Pillow Book' mentioned here is not the original, which was all black and white.

Having written that, now I am not sure.
