big agree: i can only really speak for Interstellar since that’s kinda the only movie of his i’ve properly seen, but the description that comes to mind for that is 'the distillation of movies as “art” '.
It’s not there for the logical part of your brain, it’s there for the feeling part.
Like a really moody landscape painting, there’s no point in logically examining the brush strokes of a random tree. What you’re invited to think about is the atmosphere of it, how it makes you feel.
Spoiler for Interstellar
Take that bookshelf scene inside the black hole in Interstellar, it very very obviously makes no sense whatsoever but the visuals and concept makes you think and feel.
And what i appreciate is that i don’t get the vibe of it wallowing in its ‘artsyness’, which can often ruin ‘artsy’ stuff.

I made the mistake to watch Interstellar with my brain switched on because people were hyping the super-accurate science so much. I left so angry because the movie is so fucking dumb. Sure, the black hole was fun. But the 5 seconds it’s on screen is not enough to carry the rest of the stupid as fuck plot.

So, I like Interstellar for what it is, but I’ve also made a fun game of it.
I like to ask people if they can name Cooper’s son. Most people don’t even remember he was in the movie.
It’s kind of a reverse situation of Jake Sully being the only name I can remember from Avatar.

I remember Neytiri because of the joke in Harley Quinn
