I downloaded it yesterday and haven't gotten a chance to play it yet but Space Spy by Vasily Zotov looks really great and interesting. It's apparantly a kind of allegory for his experiences in the US immigration system or maybe not because from an interview I read he's either kind of crazy or completely made up.

Pretty interesting interview.  The videos and images from his game struck me as the visual equivalent of a word salad, so I wasn't extremely surprised when schizophrenia was mentioned.

there is a japanese film called the taste of tea that is pretty surreal but also incredibly entertaining.  it's just a collection of moments in the lives of this family in japan, but lots of bizarre things happen during it.  like, for example, the little girl in the family believes that there's this gigantic doppleganger of herself following her around, and she is confident that if she can swing backwards over this bar near their house she can get rid of it.  lots of other things happen, and the ending is the absolute most surreal part, but it's a really really cool movie.

i originally bought it because i was looking through dvds and saw the cover of it, where a little boy has a tiny train coming out of his forehead.  how could i possibly not buy this?

edit: trailer

Thank you so much for telling me about this movie! I just finished watching it and it left me with such a good feeling. It was definitely bizarre at some points. The pacing of the film was very slow but every single moment of it was thoroughly enjoying. I actually laughed out loud at certain points. I had a smile all throughout the film. Such an awesome movie.

Or try playing Segare Ijiri, which is an actual game for PSX (gameplay starts at 1:30)

That looks like fun.  How do you know what you're doing?

I'm not sure if it's weirder with or without context supposedly it's a video made by an erm 'bear'-type guy who happens to love IDM (and large dudes). I'm trying to figure out whether it would be more awesome if it were a real or joke account

extremely groovy pictures + neverending page + seemingly Doktormartini nature of the articles was starting to freak me out

I'm not sure what you mean by "strange/bizarre" or whatever, that's kind of vague, but one of my favorite movies that is also one of the weirdest is Brazil. It's like a cross between "1984" and Monty Python (not surprising considering it was co-written and directed by Terry Gilliam.) It's an awesome movie, check it out.


Also, Lost Highway or anything else by David Lynch. I'm not really a David Lynch fan, but bizzarro, surreal filmmaking is his trademark.


Edit: also heartily seconding Kafka. Seriously, read Kafka. READ IT.

Don't know if anyone mentioned this already, but probably not.
