Indian Summer Movies

A big storm came in over Stockholm last night and it's been raining constantly today. So I've stayed inside, wathcing movies. Here are some tips of movies suitable for the end of summer. They all have in common a feeling of temporary comfort, which is what I think summer is for(At least here in Scandinavia)





The swimmer

The swimmer is about a Man (Burt Lancaster) who decides to swim his way home through his neighbours swimmingpools. As he gets closer to home you get a clearer understanding of what has happened to his life, and what started out at a warm summer day ends in a cold fall evening.









Suddenly last summer

The only son of a wealthy widow dies while on vacation with his cousin Catherine (Elizabeth taylor). A young doctor (Montgomery Clift) is asked to make a lobotomy of the girl who has turned insane. But as he starts to treath Cathrine he relaizes that the lobotomy might just be a way of covering up the truth Cathrine knew about her cousin.



Solaris

The psychologist Kris is sent to the Planet Solaris to confirm the mental health of the two remaining scientist at a space station. The planet has a mysterious intelligence which can materialize the human's most inner thoughts. The experiments done on Solaris are indirect experiments with the human mentality. It proves to be impossible to comunicate with the non-human intelligence of Solaris, and instead Kris meets his long dead wife and has to deal with his own inner self.



Badlands



Badlands is a bizarre love story about a young couple murdering people in Dakota. Since the movie is told from 15 year old Hollys perspective, the movie still gets a carefree and playful tone.



L'amour l'apres-midi

Frederic is a happily married man but he daydreams of other women. He has no intetion to betraing his wife but then Chlöe, an old mistress of his friend shows up and decides to seduce him.
