Great subtle moments in movies

[Austiger]

The scene in Werckmeister Harmonies where the protagonist (Jonas?) is making his soup is sublimely beautiful, mostly because of the photography. That movie is full of great subtle moments, but probably too slow for most people.


Here's a scene from the film that is not so subtle, but incredibly profound. It's all filmed in one shot, like most of the scenes in the movie. Unfortunately, the beginning of the scene is cut off where you see the rioters walking in lockstep toward the hospital, but the heart of the scene and the film is when they pull back the curtain and leave in shame. This is an art film, so if that's not your thing don't bother, but if you do make sure you have the sound up. The music makes the scene.
