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.
Anthony Scott Burns' Come True recalls John Carpenter's The Prince of Darkness, Hideo Nakata's Ringu and David Cronenberg's Videodrome.
Steven Soderberg's Logan Lucky takes the heist film and puts it in NASCAR territory. Comparisons to The Killing are appropriate, but also From Russia With Love and Raising Arizona.
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?
Wim Wenders' Perfect Days draws connections to films like Jeanne Dielman, Nomadland and his own Wings of Desire, exploring the beauty of mundane existence through a poetic lens.
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.
Kraven the Hunter is a nostalgic nod to low-budget flicks like Cobra and Bloodsport.
May December by Todd Haynes explores identity and manipulation, echoing themes from Persona, Mulholland Drive, and The Go-Between.
