Compiling a definitive Filmography of Liminality

A darkened cinema interiorWe are now in the process of compiling a definitive Filmography of liminality and I need your help! Knowing that we are searching for films that represent in-between, transition, rites of passage, marginal, threshold, boundary, and intersectional states of being, what films come to mind?

Respond with your suggestions! I’ll begin with the films I’ve chosen for my Spring 2022 Liminality and Film class:

The Straight Story (1999)
Blindness (2008)
Departures (2009)
Island of Hungry Ghosts (2018)
Limbo (2020)
Nine Days (2021)
Nomadland (2021)
