Movies that feel likeAbout Endlessness (2019)

A reflection on human life in all its beauty and cruelty, its splendor and banality, guided by a Scheherazade-esque narrator. Inconsequential moments have the same significance as historical events. Simultaneously an ode and a lament, presents a kaleidoscope of all that is eternally human, an infinite story of the vulnerability of existence.

If you loved About Endlessness, the closest films we have are Digger (2026), Songs from the Second Floor (2000) and A Serious Man (2009). All three share About Endlessness' contemplative and witty feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The Ruling Class (1972).

🍅 90%★ 6.9drama · comedy · fantasy

Roy Andersson working the same nerve twice

An absurdist, surrealistic and shocking pitch-black comedy, which moves freely from nightmare to fantasy to hilariously deadpan humour as it muses on man’s perpetual inhumanity to man.

The same mix in both: play, then dark humor

The difference: Made in the 1970s, in a different era of the craft

When the Earl of Gurney dies in a cross-dressing accident, his schizophrenic son, Jack, inherits the Gurney estate. Jack is not the average nobleman; he sings and dances across the estate and thinks he is Jesus reincarnated. Believing that Jack is mentally unfit to own the estate, the Gurney family plots to steal Jack's inheritance. As their outrageous schemes fail, the family strives to cure Jack of his bizarre behavior, with disastrous results.

Comedy built on dark humor, twice over
