Let's list some movies that are filled with bleak poetry. I'm talking about artsy but not (overly) pretentious movies in which:
>atmosphere > action
>survival > self-expression
>distinct style > complex story
You know what I'm talking about. Beauty and freedom found in nihilism, fatalism, madness or indifference.
I'll start with good movies that satisfy one or more of the criteria above:
>Valhalla Rising
>Le Samourai
>Mongol
>Stalker
>Pusher trilogy
>Apocalypse Now

Tarr is great, I loved Werckmeister's Harmonies. He can be depressing as hell sometimes, though.

Oh, that's a nice one! I'd say a lot of classic noir movies belong here too.
nosthalgia is an impecable example of this
also some of raul ruiz' films
and letters from fontaihna and casa de lava (pedro costa)
Michael (2011)
Some Haneke (time of the wolf, the seventh continent)
Elephant (alan clarke)
most of bartas' work

Well, what you've posted in the OP is pretty much the definition of noir. Except the complex story part, as noir plots are usually somewhat complex.

Great suggestions. I especially love Haneke.

Yeah. Some noir movies disappoint with deus ex machina endings, but usually plots are well thought out.
