Films that are so unhinged you're not sure whether they are disasters or masterpieces (or both)

Hmm, it's been six years since I saw L'Humanité, I don't remember any levitation. Should probably rewatch it. Anyway, the impression it gave me then was that of extreme mundaneness crossed with some eccentric characters (and I though it's greatness was exactly in the sort poesy of the mundane), not of particular surrealism.

Even Dwarfs Start Small. Werner Herzog. I mean, the chap's average output is hardly run of the mill, but this EDSS is so off the wall it's on the other side of the room. Dwarfs can be quite unnerving anyway, but when they're destryoing stuff and laughing maniacly for 5 minutes while watching a camel take a shit, it goes beyong unnerving and enters the realm of horrific. The box says it's a surreal masterpiece, and I suppose it is, but did it have to be THAT weird? I can generally tell whether I think a film's brilliant or rubbish, but with this one, I really can't. Which makes it brilliant, I guess.

I highly reccomend these movies. Such a laughable attempt. Not really boring, becuase they are so laughable.

I agree stuff like Fear and Loathing are pretty cut and dry. I used to think Natural Born Killers was on the cusp of this 'genre'; I watched it once and thought it was just a broad tacky temper tantrum of a film. The 2nd time I thought the same thing except I liked it instead of disliked it. Nothing much to figure out though.
