Most Enigmatic Final Shots?
Ah, yes:
Do you think The Graduate has an ambiguous ending?
I would say the final shot means something like “What now?” but unsure about it.
Last scene in Alain Resnais’ Wild Grass.
^ Beginning where, with them boarding the plane?
Yeah, the entire film was enigmatic.
The child wondering what she would eat as a bunny.
Definitely enigmatic, and very funny.
Barton Fink
Ooh, seconding Barton Fink. My favorite Coen, definitely.
Just posting here so I can find it later and watch all of these.
Yeah. Third Barton Fink. And second The Graduate. Taxi Driver?
I’m being so obvious ahah.

Well, the final shot of Cronenberg’s THE FLY isn’t enigmatic by any means (DRAMA: OVER), but the level of emotional devastation on display is pretty overwhelming to the point of confusion.
@SLEEVES
Kisho Kurokawa’s Cure is a good enigmatic final shot.
@MATT PARKS
Kubrick’s The Shining is another great one.
It is hard to believe that no one has mentioned Antonioni’s Blow Up.
Safe!
I loved that movie when I saw it many years ago. It was quite mysterious I think. Good one :-)
I found the end of The Rapture very anguishing, and also mysterious.

Last shot of Tsai Ming Liang’s “WHAT TIME IS IT THERE?” : a dead father from Taiwan suddenly appears in Paris. Whoa!
