Oh, the places you’ll go—in cinema, of course, but in life just as so.
The movies have always been exceptional showcases for exotic locales, and all of us here at are personally more than prone to leveraging our watchlists to immerse ourselves in scenic locations the world over and start prepping for our next trips abroad. Sure, heartbreak might feel good in a place like this, but wanderlust is an even more satisfying sensation.
In partnership with travel app Omio, we’re setting our sights on four travel destinations in particular—Brazil, France, Italy and Japan—and presenting five essential films for each that, through some combination of cinematic artistry and dazzling on-location photography, make a compelling case for you to book your travel, plan your itinerary, pack your bags and pre-arrange some in-flight entertainment. And if one of these films leaves you wondering what it would be like to stand where the camera did, Omio can turn your curiosity into reality; get 12 percent off your first app booking with LETTERBOXD12.
