Precisely. Detachment is a better qualifier than alienation.

And the irony and eccentricity are critical too. Only the irony seems to be more playful than usual, in the case of quirk. Thats what would specialize it within postmodernism.

I think John Mulaney is a great example of mainstream quirk, how quirk can appeal to more than it usually does.
There is a sort of playfulness that is exercised as a departure from a sort of postmodern numbness and emotional withdrawal. The kind of austere undertones that characterize Mulaney, in my opinion, instantiate this.

Who do you have in mind? I've seen some of Godard, Rohmer, Rivette, etc. etc. and I do pick up on quirk here and there, but maybe I'm missing what you are pointing to.

Mon Uncle has to be seen. Mulaney is a gimp compared to Tati

I think of that Jean Seberg character as more counterculture that borders on quirk.

I've only seen Mr. Hulot's holiday and half of Playtime, but yeah that is one I overlooked. Those I would definitely describe as quirky.
Also haven't seen any Pee Wee films, but maybe those qualify as well.
Mr. Bean is dank quirk.

I think Chaplin had some degree of quirkiness. Those mouth twitches, the waddle, etc.

Keaton was austere alright but I wouldn't say quirky.

Perhaps in the more ersatz cases, yes. I'd say Deschanel enters that territory, which makes sense because her quirkiness exploded into the mainstream and had to be sustained at unnatural levels. But tell me Gabriel Garcia Bernal isn;t genuinely quirky in The Science of Sleep,

Color of Pomegranates was perhaps the most visionary film I've seen, although its been a few years. Haven't seen any of his others though.
