The Weirdest Movies Streaming In Netflix’s Experimental Section

Ever felt like you’re walking backward through your own life, or perhaps you’ve accidentally flipped to the end of a book first? That’s sort of the rollercoaster ride Cities of Last Things throws you onto.

This Taiwanese experimental oddball masterpiece isn’t just content with presenting a story backward, but it also genre-hops with glee. The film starts in a dystopian future, zips back to a tech-noir setting, and then rounds things off with a melodramatic past.

Centered around the tumultuous life of the protagonist, each section has its own unique flavor of weird, merging the tones of sci-fi, film noir, and drama. It’s like mixing chocolate, pickles, and cheese in a blender – strange, but oddly harmonious in its discord.

For the conventional film lover, this might seem like a director’s fever dream come to life. But if you’re itching for an experimental narrative that challenges the boundaries of storytelling (and perhaps your patience), then Cities of Last Things is a wild trip you won’t soon forget. Popcorn, anyone? Or perhaps some reverse-cooked pasta to keep with the theme?
