Why I Prefer Slow Films That Trust The Viewer: A Personal Defense Of Patience In Cinema By Shriniwas Kodape Why I Prefer Slow Films That Trust The Viewer: A Personal Defense Of Patience In Cinema 12 January 2026 LIFESTYLE Advertisement INT DARK THEATRE EVENING A wide frame. A person sits by a window. Light drifts across the room. A sound from outside. Time settles. I stay with the image. That moment captures why slow films matter to me. They ask for presence. They invite me to sit inside time rather than rush through it. Watching them feels less like consuming a story and more like sharing space with it. Slow films allow moments to unfold naturally. A character walking through a room carries meaning. A pause between words carries emotion. Silence becomes part of the conversation. These films trust attention. They trust that staying still brings its own reward. I learned this kind of patience through filmmakers who treat time with care. Martin Scorsese often speaks about cinema as memory and revelation. Even in films filled with motion, he understands the power of stillness. In Raging Bull, moments of quiet surround violence and allow reflection to surface. In Taxi Driver, long stretches of observation place us inside a lonely mind. Silence becomes a mirror. In Silence, faith and endurance unfold slowly, giving space to thought and belief. Scorsese allows time to deepen emotion. Michelangelo Antonioni taught me how space speaks. In L’Avventura, the disappearance of a character leaves behind emotional distance that fills the landscape. In La Notte, architecture mirrors inner lives. Long pauses feel deliberate. Watching his films feels like observing people drift through thoughts they struggle to name. Meaning arrives through atmosphere rather than resolution. Abbas Kiarostami showed me how everyday life carries poetry. In Taste of Cherry, a car moves through dusty roads while conversations repeat and evolve. In Close Up, truth emerges through attention and listening. Kiarostami allows faces voices and silence to lead the story. His films move at the pace of thought. They feel gentle and precise. Andrei Tarkovsky shaped my understanding of time itself. In Stalker, movement through the Zone becomes a journey inward. Water rust and stillness shape the rhythm. In Mirror, memory flows freely, guided by emotion rather than order. Watching Tarkovsky feels like entering a meditation. Time stretches and deepens. Images linger and settle. Jean Luc Godard approaches patience through awareness. In Breathless, rhythm breaks open familiar structure. In Vivre Sa Vie, repetition and stillness invite reflection. Godard asks the viewer to stay alert and engaged. Thought becomes part of the viewing experience. Cinema becomes a dialogue. These filmmakers share trust. Trust in silence. Trust in duration. Trust in the viewer’s curiosity. Their films feel generous. They allow interpretation to grow organically. Slow cinema creates room to notice details. A hand resting on a table. A glance held slightly longer. Light moving across a face. These moments carry weight because time allows them to breathe. Understanding forms gradually. Emotion arrives quietly. Watching these films changes my pace. Attention sharpens. Awareness expands. I leave feeling grounded rather than overwhelmed. The experience lingers because it feels honest. These stories evolve over time. A film like Mirror or L’Avventura reveals something new with each viewing. Life experience enters the frame. Meaning remains open and personal. Choosing slow films feels intentional. It feels like choosing conversation over noise. Depth over immediacy. Presence over distraction. I return to these films because they respect attention. They value patience. They trust the viewer.
