Rare type
The Arthouse Ascetic
If it's under three hours and has a plot, you're suspicious.
You seek the slow, the subtitled, the wordless ten-minute static shot of a field. Comfort is suspect; difficulty is the point. You'd rather contemplate one ambiguous film for a week than enjoy ten that explain themselves. Auteur signature is oxygen.
