There are selections by such master storytellers as Eric Rohmer, John Cassavetes, Lindsay Anderson and Leo McCarey. In particular think about checking out the Monday movie, Akira Kurosawa's kidnapping thriller High and Low which could be seen as Lethem-esque with its subtle characterization and strong sense of locale.
