Holy fuck, Kiéslowki destroyed my soul and made me spiral into depression in literally just 50 minutes with a simple story about a father, his extremely adorable son, sublime religious imagery and a damn too-green-illuminating computer.

Sorcerer 1977

Besides forever changing the course of drowning-in-toilet-scenes this Sherlock Holmes spin-off is sweet and innocent without much at risk.
