I’ve always thought that 2001: A Space Odyssey is a minimalist film in some aspects, along with Eraserhead and PPP’s Teorema. These three films are among my favorites.
I truly doubt that minimalism is slipping away. Look at the Palm d’Or-winning 4 Months, 3 Weeks, and 2 Days, or l’Enfant, or Ballast… along with Gus Van Sant’s films, of course. Gerry and Elephant are excellent examples.

Gerry scares me like Elephant. It’s so utterly hypnotic that I kind of lose all time and space when watching it.

David Lynch Overrated? about 3 years ago
I find it disturbing that people find David Lynch’s movies overrated. Because they’re not. At all. They deserve more praise than what they receive.
Juno is overrated. Little Miss Sunshine is overrated. Slumdog Millionaire is overrated. Quentin Tarantino may be overrated.
But nothing by David Lynch. Who’s heard of him, anyway? :)
