Movie titles taking us to the Slow Life world
Cinema has this magical ability to help us live someone else's life, if only for an hour or two.
Thanks to it, we are saviours of the world from the future, romantic college girls suddenly granted worldwide fame and the love of the most liked actor, or involved in solving a crime.
A movie can change our mood, our day and our outlook on life.
The films we are going to recommend now have the power to give direction to those who have lost the meaning of the daily rush. With them, we can be reminded of the truly important things and that life happens not as we rush, but as we slowly savor it moment by moment.
"Under the Tuscan sky"
Every evil is for the best, and every separation opens the way for new encounters. One woman, left alone, decides to embark on the ill-advised adventure called "a new home in Tuscany."
It all happens in a hurry and a bit by chance, the home is terribly neglected and in need of a major renovation. Just like the main character's soul.
And amidst the dust, burst pipes and tiling she discovers that loneliness is not scary, that miracles do happen and that the next good thing is always lurking around the corner.
"A good year"
You can't help but feel a slight prickle in your heart when the contrasting images of the busycity of London and the lazy life in Provence flash before your eyes .
Russell Crowe tries to convince himself that his world is the one in London, with its big profits and high-rise offices, but fate sets about showing him that land and love are more valuable than stock market indices.
"Vicky, Cristina, Barcelona"
What happens when we decide to follow our heart rather than our reason? When we surrender to the moment and say yes to every proposal, even if it seems a little unreasonable?
Two American women go on a trip to Barcelona that will change their souls.
Infatuated for different reasons with the same man who shows them the European way of life, the two will experience unforgettable moments.
Lots of colour, lots of warm Spanish sun and hot love. Chances are you'll be tempted to move to Barcelona in a flash, because they know how to live there - slowly and with gusto .
Right in tune with the Slow Life movement!
