Examples:
Alfred Hitchcock filmed and edited Rope to look like one continuous shot. The long takes and hidden stitches have persisted in cinema ever since, moving out of the chamber play and onto the battlefield in 1917.
Carry-On offers a holiday action-thriller vibe reminiscent of Die Hard, with Taron Egerton as an everyday man entangled in a tense airport blackmail scenario.
Jordan Peele's Nope blends influences from Jaws and Tremors, while paying homage to Akira and The Searchers, creating a unique sci-fi horror.
Kogonada's Columbus meditates on life and our emotional response to our built environments. It recalls films like Red Desert and Lost in Translation. What else will it remind you of?
Halina Reijn's Babygirl intertwines themes of sexuality and power dynamics, echoing classics like Secretary and Fatal Attraction.
Good Time by the Safdie brothers had critics making comparison to Dog Day Afternoon, Heat and After Hours, with a touch of Of Mice and Men.
Chang-dong Lee's Burning is a confident slow-burn mystery. It recalls Hitchcock, Antonioni's Blow-Up and, according to one critic, Jack Nicholson in The Pledge.
May December by Todd Haynes explores identity and manipulation, echoing themes from Persona, Mulholland Drive, and The Go-Between.
In Materialists, Celine Song explores modern love through the eyes of a matchmaker, reminiscent of Hitch.
