Christmas: Our selection of films to offer to see the country from home -
20 Minutes
Since you can't travel either, "20 Minutes" has concocted a selection of DVDs that allow you to cultivate your cinephilia and get away from it all at a lower cost.
Classic or new, these films will introduce you to the Indies in the 19th century or the hills of Tehran.
You will also meet exceptional characters there, such as those played by Isabelle Huppert in the “Suspense au feminine” box set.
No question of taking refuge in the cinema during the holidays since the theaters are closed, but we can make up for it with some DVD-Blu Ray to slip under the tree.
And to get away from it all at a lower cost, since you can't travel either,
20 Minutes
offers you a few films in the form of beautiful still journeys.
To change place, change time
Our favorites, listed in the video accompanying this article, will take you to Korea via
Park Chan-wook's
thriller

To return to the Croisette
An abundance of Cannes films will convey sweet shivers.
Immerse yourself in the suburb of Ladj Ly with
Les Misérables
(Le Pacte 10 to 20 €).
This film, awarded on the Croisette and at the César, shakes the viewer like a plum tree just as much as the short film that inspired it, also available on the galette.
Same motif, same recommendation for
Portrait of the young girl on fire
(Pyramid 20 to 26 €) by Céline Sciamma, a beautiful lesbian love story accompanied by a fascinating documentary on the paintings of the film.
