Laurence Anyways (2012)
Xavier Dolan's romantic drama Laurence Anyways tells the impossibly heartbreaking story of love between a woman named Fred (Frédérique) and a transgender woman named Laurence (then living as a man). The passionate and powerful movie challenges heteronormative conceptions of love, captured in Dolan's signature lyrical style.
The 400 Blows (1959)
The 400 Blows is a 1959 French New Wave drama film, and the directorial debut of François Truffaut. The story follows the adventure of a 13-year-old boy and is based on Truffaut's own adolescence. A perfect binge watch for those nostalgic quarantine days.
Paris, Texas (1984)
Wim Wenders' road movie is perfect if you're craving a (figurative) escape. Paris, Texas focuses on a vagabond named Travis who, after mysteriously wandering out of the desert, searches for his brother and son.
Charade (1963)
Charade is an American romantic comedy mystery film directed by Stanley Donen, starring Hollywood icons Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant. In the film, romance and suspense unfold in Paris as a woman is pursued by several men who want a fortune her murdered husband had stolen. This is like James Bond, but with better repartee and if the Bond Girl had an intellectual role.
