For the first time in a long time, I close the window that has been ajar all summer, I feel the first gusts of cool wind on my skin and more and more often I feel like wrapping myself in a warm blanket… This is a sign that autumn is inevitably approaching. So let’s take a moment to immerse ourselves in the memories of the past summer, and what doesn’t remind us of it better than “hot” movies? First, let’s spend a moment in a villa in Italy, then let’s go to sun-warmed Barcelona and end our film adventure by escaping into carefree, youthful years. Ready? Here is a subjective overview of the productions that you simply have to see in the fall!:)
“Those Days, Those Nights” directed by Luca Guadagnino is a beautiful picture of an Italian holiday filled with intellectual conversations, lazy flirtation, music and love. The film impresses with its cinematography, acting and sensual atmosphere, which cannot be faked. Don’t be fooled by the Polish title (originally: “Call Me by Your Name”), because the picture has nothing to do with a cheap, summer romance. The most important thing remains unsaid, and emotions even leak out of the screen. So if you miss the hot summer, move, at least for a moment, to a hot Italian villa.

“Vicky, Cristina, Barcelona” directed by Woody Allen. Classically, as in Allen’s work, we can expect a dose of irony and existential revelations. The narrator slowly introduces us to the world of three women who have one thing in common: an internal struggle between a safe routine and dangerous impulses of the heart. You can smell the hot Catalan streets in the air and hear the buzz of the city of artists. The New York director shows us Barcelona through the eyes of a tourist and it’s a really beautiful view. So immerse yourself in this atmosphere (with a glass of wine!).

If you have to see only one film from this list, choose this one – “Kings of Summer” directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts. I promise you’ll be transported a little further than just last summer. To carefree teenage years, to great adventures, crazy friendships and, of course, first love. It is a warm film that delights with music, cinematography and an original script. It will warm you up better than a warm blanket and tea, fight the upcoming autumn blues and awaken the most beautiful memories.
