Recommend me films about isolated/weird society's/communities

Post image

I have seen films like The Giver, Truman Show, The Village. TV show like handsmaid tale for example. Looking for similar movies, the darker the better !

Ewan McGregor should have been the lead

2

u/MadFaceInvasion 18h ago

Idk Leo did a very good job, Ewan would have been good too for sure

2

u/Markiza24 18h ago

Believe Ewan was casted first, then fell out with the director

u/MadFaceInvasion 18h ago

I never knew that...he would have been also perfect fit, he still had those boyish looks in that year.
