90% of us just ignored the (non-violent) part in the title….

Not sure if it has been mentioned previously but Aftersun was absolutely devastating. Really unsettled me for days afterwards
You are absolutely right. English is not my native language so I think I misinterpreted the term disconcerting. Please excuse me.

Not violent but with mustaches, right?

I just watched The Cider House Rules. On the one hand seems like a simpy heart string puller, but it is pretty disconcerting when you list the things that occur…

Hah, and the mad thing is that George Sluizer also directed that remake!
It’s a bit like Michael Haneke directing Funny Games and also the remake. The demands of Hollywood

Also most of the Dogma manifest directors made incredibly disturbing films without going violent

I watched Man Bites Dog at the cinema, and there were a few laugh out loud moments quickly interjected by scenes of extreme violence, which made it a proper head fuck. I’m sure Remy Belvaux (RIP) did that on purpose

This might actually be the saddest film in the whole world…
Have you seen Where the Wind Blows?

Yeah, unreal film and agonisingly grim. Ironically, I watched it again on Christmas Day last year as a contrast to the usual Raymond Briggs annual replaying of the Snowman.

Yes, totally agree. It’s a mega violent offering up there with Gasper Noe. Sorry, I mentioned it in context to the previous comment of the audience laughing at the violence in Funny Games.

Zombie and the Ghost Train, a Finnish angst-classic about a musician.
If you can find it somewhere and want to feel extremely sad, I would suggest watching it, but not alone or in a hangover.
Definitely not alone in a hangover, trust me on this one.

Absolutely no worries with that, I preferred to underline the warning in order to avoid any accident.

Yea, the most disconcerting thing about it is that it seems like a sort of jolly comedy for the 1/2 half of the film. I watched it like 3 months ago prompted by things in the news.
In the US we had this made for TV film which would probably just be disconcerting to me now but pretty much scarred me for life seeing it as a tween (edit: doing the math I actually must of been 8 or so).
On that note I should also mention Fail Safe.

I’ve never seen The Day After but I can imagine it sends shivers down your spine and leaves you in a blind panic at the slightest siren sound or distant helicopter. We had that with Threads being on the school curriculum all I can remember is the deathly silence after the credits rolled.
