It's not quirky as such, and the pace is gentle (I could sum it up in three sentences).
But it is devastating.
Moulin Rouge made you cry?
Ah chick you have no idea.

Cult films I stumbled over and felt like I was falling downstairs (in a good way)
(Derek Jarman's) Edward II
The Cook, the Thief, his Wife and her Lover
The Hairdresser's Husband (Le Mari de la coiffeuse)

ETA
The City of Lost Children (La cité des enfants perdus)
Noticing a theme here anyone ( hint in blue). French cinema definitely takes a different slant on things.

I'll throw in Delicatessen one of the same directors and City of Lost Children and equally out there.
