Escaping through cinema – Five (re) discoveries
Deeply sunk in the pandemic isolation and surrounded by an increasing social pressure to accomplish everything you have ever set your mind to do, here I come with a warm and childlike list perfect for some truly needed chill-time, what I would call a victorious over-the-top cinema, untouched by social issues, indulging a great escape from reality, a different, fondant-like bubble stretched over a week. Of course, my recommendation is to watch the below films in order, but any other formula works just as well, since they complement each other. So, I watched these 5 films during a pandemic week* and they have succeeded in keeping me away from obsessive news, day-to-day concerns or stressing out on missed deadlines.
