Loud conversation on the topic of "clarity" with a pinch of cinematic salt
[ The next presented films do not have a description of sex scenes and age restrictions]
Sometimes you wonder why the film has an abundance of musical masterpieces, a decent cast, and it seems that the director used an accurate approach to the shooting of the scenes, and, in the end, one "but" appears: a misunderstanding of the plot, dialogs and the general message of the author. In this case, there are several explanations that serve as reasons for dissatisfaction from the watched movie and surprise from high ratings, as well as high-profile reviews.
It is important to clarify the most common reasons for the lack of contact between the viewer and the film:
Insufficient familiarity with the director and his works
Perhaps, an individual who has watched «A Clockwork Orange» (1971) will not understand the actions of the main characters who suffer from an excess of violent inclinations. Here is an applicable mention of Anthony Burgess's novel «A Clockwork Orange», based on which the movie was filmed, as well as the unconditional creativity of the director to the shooting approach and making his changes to the plot. Stanley Kubrick (director of the film) has a peculiar vision of scenes that have accent on emotions of characters and their reaction; minor, but important details (milk enjoyment by the protagonists of «A Clockwork Orange»), as well as the color scheme of films is dull, but at the same time strongly marked.
Therefore, to make a final verdict for the film and completeness of information, it is very important not to skimp on time and devote it to the study of the filmography of the director of the motion picture.

Age
Most people who have watched at least one Paolo Sorrentino film will comment on it as an "adult movie" because they don't capture the general meaning and key points of the picture. There is an opinion that in order to understand Sorrentino's films, one must live to a certain age and get to know life as such, based on the experience gained. It may be useful to simply turn on empathy and empathize with the main characters, putting yourself in their place and transfer their experiences on yourself.
There is one moment that again and again attracts people to watch movies by Paolo Sorrentino - the sophistication and nobility of the picture on the screen. Paolo is trying to show life in all its glory and with all its problems. Also, he is not greedy for beautiful scenery, especially for musical accompaniment.
The film "Youth" is a great example of the above-mentioned characteristics: a life spent, a luxurious Alpine resort and many deep dialogs against the background of "rich" scenery.

Addictive to action game and excessive futurism of films
It is not a secret that films of the mid-20th century, and especially noir cinema, are losing their value these days. They were replaced by movies about social problems and the future of mankind. Moreover, unfortunately, not everyone is interested in the sources of ideas that inspire certain directors in shooting a heartbreaking drama or a crime thriller.
Further, we will talk about Alfred Hitchcock, because based on his ideas and adaptations most directors were inspired by the plots and the state of suspense from watching his films. Films of his directing will appeal to lovers of classics and originality.

The film «Rear Window»: why it is still an actual movie nowadays and why it is unique?
The film tells a story about a photojournalist (James Stewart), who is chained to his apartment because of a broken leg and who unexpectedly observes a scene in the opposite window, which turns his life around. The protagonist suggests that his neighbor killed his wife.
There are several attempts in the film industry to adapt to the Hitchcock movie script. For instance, the closest to the original is the film "Rear Window" (1998) by Jeff Bleckner.

Or, for instance, the film "Paranoia" (2011) with Shia LaBeouf - almost identical plot with its introductions in the style of the modern world, namely the house arrest of the protagonist, but the same observation of a neighbor has still remained.
Anyway, "Rear Window" is characterized by its uniqueness in the form of events from one observation place - the window of the main character and nothing else. Actions unfold around him and the protagonist becomes the central figure. It is amazing to watch how, without special equipment and without using any effects, Hitchcock managed to achieve such a persistent tension in the plot that does not let go until the very end of the film.
Also, the film harmoniously entered the role of the main characters the most sought-after actors of the mid-20th century - Grace Kelly and James Stewart.
