“Les Petits Mouthes” by Guillaume Canet, released in 2010.
Cinema – As the famous adage wants, is it really better to be alone than badly accompanied? At the time of the new departures on vacation at the beginning of August, the question of leaving with his friends deserves to be asked. In the cinema, Thelma and Louise tried. They are certainly not the only ones to regret it.
What memory does Vicky have her summer in Barcelona with Cristina? And what about Dani, the heroine played by Florence Pugh in the horrific Midsummer ? By thinking about it, did she do well to accompany her guy and her friends in their trip to Sweden? To avoid the same mistakes, The HuffPost Subsequently offers you a selection of films that will cut you all the desire to fold luggage with your friends.
1. Little handkerchiefs
Moving confusion, confusion and more confusion. Released in 2010, Guillaume Canet’s successful comedy made an impression. For giggles and tears, but also and above all, for the endless spouts between the members of this old group of friends on vacation in Cap Ferret, while their friend Ludo is between life and death in a Parisian hospital. The film can be found in VOD on Canal+ and Apple TV.
2. Vicky Cristina Barcelona
Two friends, two visions of life. Cardboard at the French box office before the accusations against its director Woody Allen were known to all, the history of these two American friends, which a summer in Barcelona will separate, has the merit of reminding us also that the cleaning of three (or more) does not succeed in everyone. Released in 2007, the comedy with Scarlett Johansson, Javier Bardem and Penélope Cruz is in VOD on Apple TV.
3. Spring Breakers
Do you still tempt the idea of a spring break in Cancún? Look Spring Breakers. Brit, Candy, Cotty and Faith, the four heroines of Harmony Korine, finally found the necessary money (after having robbed a fast food, of course) to go and have a whole week in Florida. Victory ? No. On the spot, the four students were arrested by the police in the middle of the party, before being released by a disturbing drug dealer. Their descent into hell is available for rent on Apple TV and Canal+.
4. Midsummer
Each year in June, the Swedes celebrate what is called Midsommar, a kind of pagan party in Saint-Jean to which everyone is invited. Yes, but at what price? That, Dani would undoubtedly have liked to know it before flying off with his guy and his friends in this small village distant in Sweden at the risk of his life. Hailed by criticism when it was released in 2019, Ari Aster’s terror film (Eddington) is also to be found in VOD on Apple TV and Canal+.
5. The green radius
Sometimes a person is enough to seal the atmosphere. Here, it’s Delphine. Released the day before her departure in Greece by the friend with whom she had to leave, the young woman sees her projects waltz. Plans B? Nothing satisfies her. Delphine complains, Delphine delights in her solitude and her heart movements. Endearing to our eyes, she is much less so for those around her, now a little to the end. Golden lion at the Venice Mostra in 1986, Eric Rohmer’s film is available on Canal+ for rental.
