big agree: i can only really speak for Interstellar since that’s kinda the only movie of his i’ve properly seen, but the description that comes to mind for that is 'the distillation of movies as “art” '.
It’s not there for the logical part of your brain, it’s there for the feeling part.
Like a really moody landscape painting, there’s no point in logically examining the brush strokes of a random tree. What you’re invited to think about is the atmosphere of it, how it makes you feel.
Spoiler for Interstellar
Take that bookshelf scene inside the black hole in Interstellar, it very very obviously makes no sense whatsoever but the visuals and concept makes you think and feel.
And what i appreciate is that i don’t get the vibe of it wallowing in its ‘artsyness’, which can often ruin ‘artsy’ stuff.
