Ego Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Angel's Egg is very dark though. If you like dark, you might enjoy Bela Tarr's work. Some chill, atmospheric stuff that's not unsettling: The Limits of Control, "Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring", Ashes and Snow I would like to know more as well. Decasia: google image search: Decasia Wow, that looks awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braintree Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Valhalla Rising was pretty sparse. Not sure if that counts though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awepittance Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Story of the Weeping camel is pretty damn ambient and really well made completely non narrated documentary that seems to unfold in real-time http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7_IdGOGaro I recommend Samsara and Baraka if you havent seen those either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvatorin Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 older black and white movies are really good for ambience, I used to just put on the turner classic movies channel to chill out, bc there are no high range noises, and things are much quieter on average Oh yeah PONYO, and herzog's nosferatu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adieu Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Criterion Collection has a lot of quality older and somewhat experimental films that may not even be capable of holding your attention, but are nonetheless intriguing and artful. Many of them are in foreign languages as well. Hulu and Netflix both have a large amount of Criterion Collection films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decasia: google image search: Decasia Wow, that looks awesome. holy shit that reminds me of some really really fucked up and amazing french art film someone linked here a long long time ago...anyone know what Im talking about? It only had a soundtrack...it was black and white...and I think it involved a woman or bride...and it wasn't Begotten(which is also a great ambient film) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eh Speedy Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 This series is as ambient as it gets. Sunrise Earth. No music, just the sound of being there. Big long 30 second shots of places during sunrise, somewhere on the planet. It used to come on in the morning on Animal Planet. http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Sunrise-Earth-Seaside-Collection-Blu-ray/1086/ http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Sunrise-Earth-Alaska-Blu-ray/12343/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcock Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 as i mentioned in the recent films thread, im not a huge fan of ambient films. ambient music is amazing because it provides a rich and engaging background, in a film it demands your entire attention, which i dont think im prepared to give. on that note, stalker the most ambient film ive ever seen. i have the whole tarkovsky collection sitting there, but im not ready to sit and watch them yet i dont think. i couldnt be arsed reading the thread, but enter the void was an enjoyable ambient film. ive been wanting to project it onto the walls of clubs i dj at but havent got round to finding out the legalities of it yet basically.

Guest A/D Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Check out the Thai movie Syndromes And A Century. Super beautiful, strange, nonlinear, and slow/ambient. I saw it with 2 friends and we all loved it & fell asleep at different times during the film Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremymacgregor87 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 you might enjoy Bela Tarr's work. yeah have a look at Satantango (7 hours of ambient right there) I found Paris, Texas, Rumblefish, and Blade Runner to be pretty ambient Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pixelives Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I've made this film two years ago that fits solely into this category. Split screen, one side shot in Germany, the other in Shanghai. No dialogue, just score and image. Please excuse the crappy youtube compression.
