But which film would you want to see? Which movie fits best with the summer conditions? To find out, we consulted the Rialto staff, people who love summer and love film. This inquiry ultimately resulted in five delightful, summery classics.
Rialto staff member Dagmar suggested the Japanese sports comedy Waterboys about a group of teenage nerds who immerse themselves in the art of synchronized swimming.
Suus came up with A Bigger Splash, an exciting tale full of intrigue about how a pop star's vacation is ruined by unexpected visitors. Starring Tilda Swinton and Ralph Fiennes.
The Australian The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, about a traveling group of drag queens, has become a true cult classic. It's Bente's choice.
Stephen King wrote not only horror stories but also, for example, Stand by Me, a beautiful and adventurous coming-of-age drama about friendship. Maryam's favorite film.
Suzanne chose the much-awarded Mexican summer classic Y tu mamá también about two 17-year-old boys who go on a road trip with an adult woman.
So it will be a wonderful summer at Rialto filled with beautiful films. In other words: this summer at Rialto, you will not only find relief, but also warmth for heart and soul!
