The Melancholy Poet
Two people, one ache, very little dialogue.
You want longing, not plot — a held gaze, a train pulling away, a love that almost was and quietly wasn't. The films you treasure are slow, aching, and beautiful in a way that ruins your mood for the rest of the evening (a feature, not a bug). You think the saddest endings are the most honest.
