If it's a cerebral workout you're after, then look no further than the films of the incomparable Woody Allen. Deconstructing Harry is a great place to start.
shareI love these two movies by Sally Potter -- Orlando & Yes.
Yes requires a lot more concentration, as the dialouge all happens to be in iambic pentameter (the rhyming metered prose that Shakespeare wrote in,) but if you can get beyond that, it's a beautiful movie with intertwining messages about love and war. Orlando is in a magical realism sort of vein and works on a more subtle level, but is also a lovely (and slightly more conventional) period movie with a lot to say about gender roles. I highly recommend it!
*beauty doth prevail*
if you want somethign really mindblowing check out David Lynch, namely Mulholland Drive and Lost Highway (if you can find it).
also Robert Altman's 3 Women and perhaps Polanski's The Tenant or Nolan's The Prestige. i havent actually seen Human Nature so im just basing this off of some of the other recomendations and Eternal Sunshine.
oh yeah and check out The Fountain.
To whoever suggested movies by Harmony Korine:
Kids and Gummo are just depressing subsections of dystopian suburbia, nothing psychological, just trying to be depressing and artsy for the sake of being avant garde.
I guess they work as depictions of human nature (albeit the lowest common denominator), but they are not quirky and quasi-lighthearted like Human Nature. IMO they're very bleak and offer no chance for redemption for the protagonists (like Julien Donkey Boy). Don't watch them if you're contemplating suicide.

you might want to check out todd solondz films (ie-welcome to the dollhouse, happiness, storytelling, palindromes)
sharei think that the most similar movie is I Heart Huckabees ..i really enjoyed it and i highly recommend it, this movie has a very similar way of laughing at society, very ironic and ridiculously strange ..just like Human Naure.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned the French new wave film "L'Enfant Sauvage" or in English, "The Wild Child." It also deals with a feral person, although this time it's a child, and it's based on a true story, the story of Victor of Aveyron. In 18th century France they found a young boy who had been living in the woods. He could not speak, and walked around for the most part on other fours, so a doctor takes on the challenge of observing him and attempting to teach him the language. It's a must see if you like Human Nature. It also shows that there's a critical stage in a child's development for learning language. If a child hasn't started to learn a language by the age of seven or eight, they most likely will never be able to speak a language. They may be able to say words, but they will never learn grammar and be able to communicate like a normal adult. The Wild Child is almost a more realistic version of Human Nature.
