I would also recommend his movie Andrei Rublev, though that is probably even harder to watch because of the length and medieval setting; but, for people that like to see something different, this is very different to current movies.
And from his disciples definitely recommend Zvyagintsev and his The Return and Leviathan.
Sure, the below stick with me, Im not sure if they class as lesser known, they were to my uncultured self..
- Black Cat, White Cat (1998), serbian comedy
- Brother (1997), russian revenge flick
- Kontroll (2003), hungarian sci-fi/fantasy
- The Return (2003), russian drama
- Dead Man (1997), US western/art
- Three colours Blue (1993), french drama
- Paris, je t'aime (2006), short film compilation
As a bonus if you like smoking with friends Darby o Gill and The little People (1959) is an (inadvertent?) slapstick-comedy/horror from disney.
And that sentiment is replicated by the director Andrey Zvyagintsev, in e.g. The Return (2003) or Leviathan. Both great movies with beautiful cinematography and very Russian feeling.
I highly recommend his other movies too - I love Solaris and Andrey Rublev, but others are great too.
And I think currently in his steps is following another great Russian director, Andrey Zvyagintsev. The Return was mindblowing.
