"The end of the tour" (2015)

I love movies that make me think. Probably most of the movies here will require this from your side. These are also movies you can't watch during doing something else, like cooking dinner. I guarantee these movies will affect your life like no other movies like "Suicide Squad" will.

If you're a fan of conversation movies then this is definitely something you should watch. A story of Rolling Stone reporter (self)sent to do an interview with a writer - David Foster Wallace who has just published "Infinite jest" a critically acclaimed groundbreaking epic novel. During couple of days he discovers the author extraordinary personality and fresh view on everything, however on the other side we as viewers know what was the price David Foster Wallace paid for reaching the depths of truth. That's amazing how his life can change one's thinking. There's a big chance it will change your view of life as well. I highly recommend it. Just look at one of the quotes that hit me:

D.F.W.: "It may be in the old days what was known as a spiritual crisis: feeling as though every axiom in your life turned out to be false... and there was actually nothing. And that you were nothing. And that it's all a delusion and you're so much better than everybody 'cause you can see how this is just a delusion, and you're so much worse because you can't fucking function."
