Paris Calligrammes (2020)

 

Ulrike Ottinger, then a young painter, lived in Paris in the 1960s. Now a film-maker, she looks back on that time, weaving memories of the Parisian life and the upheavals of the time into a cinematic poem with the city at its center. 

Very intimate loving and poetic portrait of Paris through the eyes of a German artist, filmmaker and photographer actually transcends the personal perspective with is montage of relevant images and events into a very good documentary.

Freak Orlando (1981)

In the form of a "small theater of the world", a history of the world from its beginnings to our day, including the errors, the incompetence, the thirst for power, the fear, the madness, the cruelty and the commonplace, in a story of five episodes.

From memory: Colorful, wildly surreal and macabre tour de force drama; has a cult following for its celebration of queer culture.
