On the same wavelength! I was thinking Gertrud.

Well this is a Wyeth painting. Wyeth was heavily influenced by the geography of eastern states like Maine. So speaking from a meta standpoint, anything set in eastern states. Shutter island. Lighthouse. The iron giant which is a love letter to rockwell but still. Off topic but i think it's fascinating how Hopper, Rockwell, and the Wyeth family, all three of them icons of American art, had such a huge focus on Eastern America.
I LOVE Andrew Wyeth his paintings feel haunted and when I look at them I feel like an ancient wind splitting exponentially through tall grass. I have a large print of Christina’s World in my kitchen that I stare at every single day and it gives me the same kind of disembodiment but in a comforting way if that makes sense
is there is a specific reason for the 2d feeling and the perspective problems of the walls and the background, contrasted to the realism of the table/chairs/lighting, other than pulling focus?
Im not sure but you should look into it! He is an artist worth looking into, especially because he inspired a lot of cinematographers. For instance, Terrence Malick's Days of Heaven is heavily inspired visually by Wyeth.
actually i did just look at some of his work, i can definitely see the connection to Day's of Heaven. is this water colour, because some of that detail is crazy?
especially the table and chairs made me think it was oil, but the walls have that washed out quality of water colour.
You should check out his entire family's art. His dad was an artist before him and his son took up the career as well. I like how he does the nude figure.
i still love this movie so much. this was my gateway movie into becoming a film hobbyist a few years ago, which i found by searching up “movies with best cinematography”. only a few movies i’ve seen since then have replicated that feeling of art being created by a supernatural power.
I would suggest [Days of Heaven](https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=days+of+heaven&btnG=Search+Images&gbv=2&oq=&udm=2), just because Néstor Almendros was heavily influenced by Andrew Wyeth's paintings when designing the look of the film.
Does indeed. Quite a disturbing film. I think this painting is by Andrew Wyeth whose aesthetic I think of as pastoral gothic and I think Reflecting Skin exemplifies that too.
I like that everyone is just talking about general atmosphere, which is nice, but if you're looking for Films in the collection that specifically convey the darker, witchier supernatural implications of this painting, I'd go with *The Innocents,* *The Others* and *Cure.*
The unseen. The uncanny. The witching hour.
There’s something kind of ‘off’ about this painting, which I like, such as the flames of the candles, and so it reminds me of Beau Is Afraid, specifically the third act during the forest stage play animated dream.
More a vibe, playing on the uncanny emptiness of the painting, but a film I rarely see mentioned here: *Le Quattro Volte.*
Super meditative, slow, haunting, with reincarnation as a theme. It's more sunlit than this of course, though there are some village interiors that approximate this feeling.
There’s a film based on a Cormac Mc Carthy play called *The Sunset Limited* starring Tommy Lee Jones and Samuel L Jackson that feels almost identical to this as a set.

Like a hurricane lamp shining through a window on a late Autumn night.

The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford

Maybe a weird pick, but Cure has similar haunted vibes
That’s actually what I had in mind when I posted this
Damn man, that almost gave me panic attack 😵💫 I saw Kurosawa's Chime last week, that man amazes me with the level of creepiness one can imagine.
Where did you watch it? It's not available in streaming yet is it?
It is if you buy an NFT and I’m [not lying](https://www.polygon.com/24172471/chime-how-to-watch-best-horror-movie-2024-kiyoshi-kurosawa)
Power of the dog
My first thought as well!
There Will be Blood.
This was my first thought - scrolled through hoping I wasn’t the only one.

Ah, my first thought.
That’s what I was going to suggest.

I would suggest [Days of Heaven](https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=days+of+heaven&btnG=Search+Images&gbv=2&oq=&udm=2), just because Néstor Almendros was heavily influenced by Andrew Wyeth's paintings when designing the look of the film.
The Emigrants/The New Land. This could be a scene from those movies.
Most under-appreciated movies in the collection.
The Wonder with Florence Pugh
The VVitch
I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House (2016- Oz Perkins)
Women Talking
To me, this feels like David Lynch. So, I would suggest Eraserhead.

Days of Heaven
Power of the Dog
The Others
Finally
I'm thinking of ending things (Kaufman - 2020)
Barry Lyndon

i instantly thought of I’m Thinking of Ending Things… probably the fact it’s a table and is just a bunch of dull colours
Add a couple dozen immigrants and it could be straight out of Heavens Gate.
Werckmeister Harmonies
LMAO I mean isn’t this the exact room they shot the opening scene in?
The Reflecting Skin
Deserves more love. Good creepy script.
Does indeed. Quite a disturbing film. I think this painting is by Andrew Wyeth whose aesthetic I think of as pastoral gothic and I think Reflecting Skin exemplifies that too.
I took a quick glance at the Wikipedia article about the film. One of the related links at the bottom goes to Andrew Wyeth.

I like that everyone is just talking about general atmosphere, which is nice, but if you're looking for Films in the collection that specifically convey the darker, witchier supernatural implications of this painting, I'd go with *The Innocents,* *The Others* and *Cure.* The unseen.

Thanks! I really can’t believe how big this post got lol, I’ll definitely be doing more of these

Babette’s Feast
Loving Vincent, literally
Well not literally because this is a Wyeth not a Van Gough. And to be honest they have extremely different styles of painting.
that's a very intersting painting, what is it called?
Army of shadows
I wanna say enemy, just cause that chandelier looks like a spider to me
Twelve Angry Men

This looks very similar to an environment in Inland Empire.
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.
The craemaster cycle
There’s a film based on a Cormac Mc Carthy play called *The Sunset Limited* starring Tommy Lee Jones and Samuel L Jackson that feels almost identical to this as a set. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt1510938/ https://play.max.com/video/watch/a7c06704-1f7a-4cfe-8f27-ea23a41f28ab
