10 Movie Masterpieces for an Introduction to Slow Cinema

"Let's face it – slow cinema can be a tough genre to introduce ourselves to, and even harder if you don't know where to start. Diving in the deep end can be rather painful – definitely don't start with the likes of Melancholia (Diaz, 2008) or Satantango (Tarr, 1994) unless you've prepared yourself for a slow, albeit riveting, day.
In the name of playing a part in continuing to popularise the genre that seemed to really explode throughout the 2010s with the newfound worldwide recognition for the likes of Apichatpong Weerasethakul and Lav Diaz, as well as those who had been working on slow cinema for decades already (look to James Benning or the absolutely beautiful short films of Peter B. Hutton), here is a list of ten films that aren't too demanding to ease you in to the genre a little more gracefully."
