I think the fact they were all solid losers made me lose any compassion for the characters. All of their woes were of their own creation.  |
The old adage of comedy and tragedy. |

I'm surprised Irreversible hasn't been named yet. That's the last one that really made me a little grey for a couple days. |

I agree with this. Even though it isn't a film, The Laramie Project is one that brings me down even though it's so good.

| One not listed yet: "Once Were Warriors". Much great depression to be found in foreign movies. Russia's "Come and See". Take your pick of Igmar Bergman. I just rewatched "Virgin Spring" from the new Criterion DVD and that fits the bill. Polanski's made some big downers, among them "Repulsion". |
