      Moon is such a fantastic film in its own right. Absolutely shook me when I saw it the first time.

      Every movie written by Charlie Kaufman has elements of loneliness and they are all excellent

    It’s been a while since I’ve seen it but Cast Away is about being stranded all alone and dealing with loneliness. I have a feeling this isn’t what you had in mind.

    The Perks of Being a Wallflower is one of my favorite movies. Although he’s not without friends the entire movie, I think you might still appreciate it.

    The new Joker movie is definitely worth the mention. Although depressing, I really appreciated the movie. It’s not actually a superhero movie in case that’s deterring you from watching it.

    Although I haven’t seen it yet, Lost In Translation is near the top of my watchlist. It might be up your alley.

    Welcome to NHK is anime about a NEET. He ends up finding some kind of friends througout the show tho.

    Also what you’re describing is basically the concept of a doomer.

    Maybe not quite what you’re looking for but Tom Hanks in “A Man Called Otto” might float your boat.

      That’s the darkest movie of all time. You can’t simply recommend it willy nilly without a disclaimer. This movie is heavy.

        Indeed it is. It shows how brutal war really is. It’s even more relevant today.

      The country of origin wouldn’t discourage me personally. I even watched North Korean TV once just to see what it was like. It was really interesting!

        So is the movie. It’s really intense though. I mean really. It shows all the filth of war. And despite “hero” (a boy) is almost always among other people, he’s in fact really lonely. Especially in his misery.

    Oh I have something for you!

    I just watched Beau is Afraid, https://m.imdb.com/title/tt13521006/ and it was epic. One of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time.

    I would rate this as 7.5 and really don’t agree with the lower imdb rating here.

    I don’t seem to recollect any movie at the moment but here are some TV shows or anime -

    1. Mr. Robot - one of my favourite TV shows, most people using lemmy might have already watched it.

    2. Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu - its about a very lonely middleschool kid’s romance

    3. Koe no Katachi - very popular anime movie. Also one of my favourites.

    4. Bocchi the Rock - Anime about an extremly introverted girl wanting to play guitar in a highschool band.

    5. Re-Life - its an anime about a grown up guy getting a chance to re-live his high-school days as part of a experiment or something like that. It was pretty good.

    6. Lookism - its a Manhwa, but also has an anime. Basically the main character gets 2 bodies mysteriously. The original body is the ugly one which people bully him for and the second body is like that of a (male) kpop artist which people view differently.

    7. Death’s game - it’s a kdrama I recently watched. Although it doesn’t exactly fit in with the theme of ‘lonlieness’ I thought I’d mention it.

    P.S - some shows I mentioned here might not be as loneliness inducing as you think.
