Good examples, too. I love Wong Kar Wai - I think that worlds and moods he established in both “In the Mood for Love” and “2046” were esquisite. Thanks so much for commenting. Good examples, too.

If I want to see reality, I'll go make a documentary. I'm in love with films that transport, that throw you headfirst into a new world (the same could apply to documentaries - I always try to use narrative storytelling techniques and "cinematic" elements). The first two that spring to mind are Powell & Pressburger's "The Red Shoes," and Wong Kar-Wai's "In the Mood For Love" (in addition to the excellent choices mentioned by our daring damsels of discourse above). Beautiful pieces of film that transport. They create a world, and for just a few hours, you're part of it. They makes no excuses. "This is our world. Watch. Live or leave." Well written and reasoned post. Look forward to reading more. As I dabble back and forth in documentaries and narratives, I couldn’t agree more. If I want to see reality, I’ll go make a documentary.
