Hi nandywell,
You have plenty to go on with, but you may enjoy "Walkabout" made in Australia (you included Picnic at Hanging Rock in your list, so this one should qualify) starring Jenny Aguter... it has fabulous visuals ... Australian outback, plus a little mystique of the aboriginal legends.
I hope you can get hold of it.
Cheers Judy

Judylou, Roeg's Walkabout is a stunning film. John Barry's score is just out of this world. I have seen it, and I urge anyone who hasn't already done so to watch it. Les Yeux Sans Visage looks and sounds very interesting and I haven't heard of it either so I'll look out for that one.

Thanks people, you're all giving me so much.

Freddy, I've just watched the trailer to Fitzcarraldo, and It looks right up my street that does. I love the blend of beautiful music and nature.

Cheers

Off the top of my head I'd include:

Zazie dans le métro (1960 Louis Malle)
Grand Meaulnes, Le (1967 Albicocco)
Daisies (1966 Vera Chytilova)
The Committee (1968 Peter Sykes)
Last Year at Marienbad (1961 Alain Resnais)
From Tarkovsky - The Mirror and Stalker
Robert Altman’s Three Women
plus from TV the wonderful Penda’s Fen (1974 Alan Clarke)

I second John Hodson for Night Of The Hunter and Ican for Last Year At Marienbad. I'd add Fellini's Juliet And The Spirits and Walerian Borowczyk's Blanche.

nandywell · 16-03-2008, 09:26 PM

I'd also like to recommend, Kusa-meikyu (The Grass Labyrinth). Some of the visuals in this film are some on the most beautiful images I've seen. The use of colour is staggering.
