For other relatively recent movies I'd add:

  > Evil Does Not Exist
  > Godland
  > The Beast
  > The Worst Person in the World
  > Misericordia
  > The Banshees of Inisherin
  > Amanda [0]
  > Afire [1]

are movies like Evil Does Not Exist as popular in Japan as the examples in the article though? there must be a lot of similar niche movies made in the US

Evil Does Not exist is Ryusuke Hamaguchi's first movie after the internationally successful Drive My Car, so I would hope there would be some domestic support but that might be pure naivety on my part.

I thought Banshees of Inisherin was quite literal. Two Irish friends are screaming at each other while a literal civil war is going on around them.

I found it pretty disappointing for that reason compared to McDonagh’s other movies which are much less literal.
