I’m looking for movies along the vibes of The Seventh Seal, Stalker, Raise the Red Lantern, The Passion of Joan of Arc.

Movies where the camera is a drill into the human soul somehow. Painful to watch, but enlightening.

    [EDIT: Not sure if you were sarcastic about easy to find but they can be viewed here] If you enjoy them, Kieślowski also did an absolutely phenomenal film trilogy called Trois Colours, with each film exploring one of the themes of the french revolutionary slogan (liberty, equality, brotherhood) and named after the colors of the french flag: blue, white and red. Highly recommended, though not necessarily depressing, just very interesting explorations of these human themes and absolutely top tier filmmaking.

    Wim Wenders’ Paris, Texas should also fit the bill for your original request, I think. It has one of the best monologues in all cinema, beautifully shot and with an iconic soundtrack by Ry Cooder.
