10 Great Movies That Are Both Poetic and Disturbing

"When we think of poetic movies, we think of Terrence Malick, Andrei Tarkovsky or Béla Tarr. These directors can convey the beauty of their narratives through techniques that are specifically cinematic. But like traditional literary poetry, the themes and stories presented by their creators can upset the viewer. What we often dismiss is that poetry can be found in pictures or narratives that haunt us.
This list tries to expose why some of the tougher aspects in the mentioned movies can be beautiful and poetic. When discussing something that is disturbing, it's easy to mention a plethora of horror movies that may be disturbing, but the main problem with most of the blockbusters in this genre is that they often dismiss the importance of a greater impact on the viewer."
