Top 5 Gritty Realism Films on IMDb:
1. Pixote- A film about a boy in the streets who gets involved in crime.
2. The Son-A film about a joinery instructor at rehab who refuses to take on a new apprentice but then begins following him through the streets.
4.
Breaking The Waves- A film about a man who is paralysed in an accident who's wife then has an affaire.
5.
Gummo- A film about lonely residents in a town a tornado has hit wandering the deserted land trying to fulfil their boring lives.
As you can see all of these films have the same theme of a horrible realistic event happening which is quite rare and often not thought about by many. Looking at different types of things that happen in gritty realism films helped us come up with our idea as OCD is a mental health issue which people do suffer with but is often ignored and not thought about by many. The effects of what happens in these peoples lives is often unknown by many people so we think our film idea is a good way of showing the reality of the lives of people who have OCD yet in a quite dramatic way.
