Hey folks!

I’m having a strong urge lately to connect to themes of isolation and melancholy.

Anyone else enjoying this stuff?

Here’s a list of some that I enjoy. Also, the strongest imagery I have for this is a little island on another planet, with meadows, a little wooden house, pools of water, etc. while seeing the star-studded universe above.

Here are some examples I enjoy

Ozamu Dazai’s No Longer Human
Sandman TV show
Angus & Julia Stone - The Devil’s Tears
The Eddie Vedder Album for Into the Wild
Everything about Invoker in the animated DotA movie
Boy - Fit Back In

Please share anything around these themes you enjoy, or your thoughts in general :)

(will update my list, if anything else comes to mind)

Thank you!

    I thought of another one: Never Cry Wolf

    I saw this way back when it was first released, and boy has it stuck with me. That said, my memories of it might have gotten fuzzy in the last, what, 42 years (😳)

    A biologist goes to the tundra to investigate why caribou are dying. Wolves have been floated as the culprits. He is very isolated. Life happens. I don’t remember it as a generally upbeat movie, but it was a good, well-made movie that made me think quite a lot.
