Have you ever been caught on the wing of a movie and drifted to the city of that movie? There are movies whose every frame is engraved in your mind and whose emotions move your heart. Some movies end in the blink of an eye and take you to Rome, bring the charm of Paris to your home, and make you dust the streets of Berlin… Here are those unforgettable movies and cities that will fuel your desire to hit the road by looking for cheap flight tickets as soon as you watch them. No need to worry. No spoilers
Winking at the ‘Sky over Berlin’
Set in Berlin before the fall of the Berlin Wall, “The Sky Over Berlin” poetically depicts the moods and anxieties of individuals passing through the streets of Berlin through the eyes of two angels named Damiel and Cassiel. The movie shows us the streets of Berlin, its sculptures, and the city library while simultaneously depicting the fragmented states of urban people and their troubles and anxieties.
The movie, well supported by the music, reflects the predicament of urban people and makes you sad, but you will love the romantic fiction that gains hope when an angel falls in love with a woman and wants to live on earth. It would help if you watched this movie, which will make you experience the romance of Berlin after you book your ticket to Berlin.
‘Blue’ from the Colors of Paris
Set on the streets of Paris and part of Krzysztof Kieślowski’s legendary trilogy, ‘Blue’ is an unforgettable film about the dramatic resistance of Julie, who loses her husband and daughter in an accident. Kieślowski, who left his mark on the last century, greatly influenced our country’s world cinema and film lovers. So much so that many books and documentaries have been made about his films, his intellectual world and his perspective on movies. In Blue, the beauty of the master actress Juliet Binoche, the perfect use of the colour blue, and the poetry of the city of Paris combine to create an awe-inspiring work. The depth of blue and Paris penetrates your heart.
If you want to see Paris through the eyes of a woman trying to hold on to life, do not miss this movie.
Let’s Meet in Vienna ‘Before Sunrise’
‘Before Sunrise’ tells the love story of Celine, a French graduate student, and Jesse, an American. They meet by chance when a couple fights on the Budapest—Vienna train and spend a night on the streets of Vienna until sunrise. Realizing that this night is their first and last night together, the young people experience a romantic and loving night but the saddest night of their lives.
An ordinary trip to Europe turns into an impressive love story, and the movie fully reflects the romantic spirit of Vienna. With its calm flow and effective dialogue, the film will make you buy a plane ticket to Vienna and look for love.
Travelling around Rome in Search of ‘Bicycle Thieves’
Directed by Vittorio De Sica, the movie is set in Rome, which has just emerged from World War II. We witness the lives of Romans struggling to survive in great misery and poverty. Amid this struggle, Antonio Ricci, whose bicycle is stolen on the first day of the job he barely got to support his family, searches the streets of Rome with his son and follows a process entirely of hope and shame. It would probably not be wrong to say that the film is “one of the classics of cinema history”. Winner of the 1948 Academy Award in the foreign language film category, the film is an exquisite portrait of war and shows how beautiful Rome is despite everything. Once you’ve booked your plane ticket to Rome, all you need to do is use the internet to create a map and visit all the locations where the movie takes place.
‘A School Trip’ in Bologna
It would be unfair to expect anything other than a school theme from the region where the first university as we know it was founded. In this 1983 film by Pupi Avati, one of Bologna’s best-known directors, you will travel between Bologna and Florence with the school teachers who take their students on a field trip. This naïve and warm film, in which comedy and drama are intertwined, was also selected to participate in the Venice Film Festival in those years.
