10 Movie Masterpieces That Demand Patience

"Slow cinema has often gone hand in hand with an appreciation for the symbolic and a love for the cinematic language. Slower films tend to become transcendental experiences, their demand of the viewer is part of what makes the film so rewarding, if done well. If, however, the filmmakers makes demands of the watcher but does not offer anything special a film can become extremely frustrating.

For those watchers here are ten masterpieces that you should not miss."
