The amount of films produced by Netflix since 2015 it has been quite impressive, but in the myriad of titles you find on the platform there are hidden gems that are always talked about too little: we want to recommend 5 that you always find available in streaming.
Let’s start with I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore by Macon Blair of 2017. A crazy and over the top (and full of blood) film, starring Melanie Lynskey and Elijah Wood. Nurse Ruth returns home and finds it burgled, so she decides to get help from Tony, who however is a bit obsessed with Japan and her typical weapons, to recover the stolen goods.
In 2017 Angelina Jolie’s First They Killed My Father is also out on Netflix, in his fourth directorial effort. A tragic fresco of the Cambodian Khmer Rouge regime in 1975, among terrible labor camps and child soldiers.
If you want a good and fun Eddie Murphy, we recommend it Dolemite Is My Name by Craig Brewer of 2019. True story of Rudy Ray Moore, comedian who in the 70s gave life to Dolemite, historical character of blaxploitation and protagonist of a truly hilarious film within a film.
Let’s definitely change the tenor with I’m Thinking of Ending It Here by Charlie Kaufman of 2020. A cerebral film, dense and full of philosophical and metatextual references, in which Kaufman’s cinematic genius comes out once again. Here is our review of I’m Thinking of Ending It Here.
We close with Photocopier by Wregas Bhanuteja of 2021. Great directorial debut for the Indonesian director who signs a film on Netflix between thriller, mystery and social commentary, which will take you into Indonesian culture and will surprise you several times. And if you want some more reasons to see it here is our review of Photocopier.
