Summer is here and movies do summer well.

From style, colours, music and mood these films capture the essence of a dreamy summer. Here are our top picks for summer in film!

The Dreamers (2003)

By Bernardo Bertolucci

Bertolucci is the master of creating a vibe, and this vibe is three teens living in a Parisian apartment in the late 60’s, hot, sweaty sex and adventures in the streets of Paris, what’s not to love?

Dazed and confused (1993)

By Richard Linklater

Okay, last day of middle and high school, summer break has just begun and it's one night following a bunch of teens around in the 70s. Sex, Rock ‘n roll and a-lot of weed. Absolute hot summer night vibe.

Les 4 aventures de reinette et mirabelle (1987)

By Éric Rohmer

Okay so this one does not completely scream summer, but it does the trick. Two young women meet in the french countryside and show their lovely friendship blossoming with funny situations. The outdoor shots in this are what make me crave a summer vacation to the south of France.

Call me by your name (2017)

By Luca Guadagnino

...... I mean there's not much to say but a beautiful love story, Italian summer, it’s a summer dream.

Stealing beauty (1996)

By Bernardo Bertolucci

A young Liv Tyler ventures to the south of Italy to get her portrait done by an old family friend while also discovering her sexuality. Like I said Bertolucci is a master of vibes and aesthetics so just do yourself a favour and watch this.

Badlands (1973)

By Terrence Malick

Young love, crime and constantly on the road. This movie shows beautiful landscapes mixed with the beautiful 70s’ style. Dreamy nature shots and Sissy Spacek.
