The 1990s was a decade that saw the release of some all-time great movies, many of which are justifiably praised and popular. But not every great film of the 1990s is approachable, necessarily, as becomes apparent when looking at some of the best arthouse films to come out in that decade. These movies aim to challenge and provide unique experiences, with arthouse cinema as a whole being something special because of the unconventional and unpredictable titles found within.

Film noir is one of the most popular film genres that initially gained notoriety in the United States during the 1930s as a result of the rise in pulp fiction and detective novels. Known for its black-and-white cinematography, cynical undertones, and hard-boiled characters, film noir continues to captivate film fans today with classics such as The Maltese Falcon, Gilda, and White Heat. The genre features numerous notable titles, but some film noirs, including The Big Heat and Double Indemnity, are timeless entertainment.

A year on from the Locarno Film Festival’s international premiere of Do Not Expect Too Much from the End of the World, which won the festival’s special jury prize on the way to becoming the filmmaker’s most celebrated work to date, a pair of new found-footage films by Radu Jude were screened publicly for the first time on Sunday night at this year’s edition of the festival. Exploring related themes with wildly different approaches, Eight Postcards from Utopia and Sleep #2 showed the Romanian provocateur retaining his fascination with death, the media, capitalist exploitation, and national identity.

In 1973, PBS aired a 12-episode documentary series called The American Family that followed a year in the life of the Loud family of Santa Barbara, California. At first blush the very image of postwar American prosperity and contentment, the Louds slowly unraveled over the course of the show, revealing fissures in the mother and father’s marriage and the tumult of teenage adolescence in a time of rapid social upheaval and growing pessimism.
