I'm a film buff who recently watched a 3-hour black-and-white Iranian movie that had no dialogue for the first 20 minutes, and I was completely hooked. But my friends call these films 'boring homework' and prefer Marvel. If streaming platforms are pushing short-form content, does that mean we're losing the patience for slow cinema, or is there still a real audience for arthouse films? I'd genuinely like to hear if others still seek out those challenging films or if it's just a niche that's fading.
