There is one thing I know for sure: 2015 has been my year of serious Wanderlust. This year, I’ve traveled to Hawaii, Mexico, Italy, Netherlands, Utah, California, Minnesota and Washington. I think there will probably be a few more in there too before the year is over.
This is the ultimate movie about France. Forget all the movies that feature the love stories about people going to Paris and kissing under the Eiffel Tower and go straight for the Eiffel Tower of French stories.
If you’re not much on love stories, then enjoy this story about love lost. This lovely film about a woman whose wedding is canceled just days before the event is one of my favorites I’ve seen as a single lady, because it’s honest and relatable and doesn’t fall into stupid tropes about heartbreak.
Song of the Sea (Amazon Prime)
An animated movie is a necessity on this list. In this case, how about an adorable one about a Celtic family on the sea? The cast is incredible and the art is just pure joy.
This movie got a ton attention from the Academy Awards in the early 2000s and with good reason. Frida was a real woman of adventure and boldness. She’s the kind of person whose art was inspired by real life - wherever real life may take her.
Kumiko the Treasure Hunter (Amazon Prime)
Imagine traveling across the world to find something extremely obscure and everyone in your life thinks you’re crazy for doing so? Yeah, I may have not gone on a mission to find a long lost tape, but I relate the Kumiko’s tenacity. And the cinematography makes snow look heavenly.
