Good Movies w/ ONLY Man + Woman

"The Last Day of Summer"
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052037/

Polish movie that I can watch every single year. Another great part is that it takes place on the coast - I love water, and the atmosphere in the movie, even though I usually think "bad script" when critics only talk about the cinematography. There's very little script. And I tend to favor dialogue-heavy movies, but this is still very good.

If you have any recommendations, I would be so grateful. Thanks!

I don't understand your w/
What exactly are you looking for?
Do you mean films that only have two actors for the entire film, one man and one woman?

If that's the case, then 'Venus In Fur': Roman Polanski Of course, his 'Knife In The Water' is two men and one woman...  With the exception of a minor diversion, Bela Tarr's final masterpiece 'Turin Horse' would fit into this category, too.

^^ That's my pleasure. I'm not sure what is most important to you; an intense drama between a man and a woman to the point where anyone else appearing is incidental, or the fact that you only want two people in the film full stop, with no exceptions. If it's the former, I can think of a few more, such as Certified Copy (Kiarostami) or Under The Bombs (Aractingi), the latter however might require a bit more thought... ooh, how about Scenes From A Marriage (Bergman)?

not exactly what you are looking for, but you might still like it: "De Wisselwachter" ("The Pointsman") by Jos Stelling. there are a few interruptions from the postman or the locomotive driver and his engineer, but it is pretty much just the pointsman and this woman who erroneously gets out of the train with her luggage when the train stops at the pointsman's post. very little dialogue, but a lot of great silent interplay between the two (the scene with the rat is one of our favorite movie scenes of all time). the woman speaks only French, which the pointsman does not understand, so the two have difficulty communicating with each other. one of our favorite movies
