Discover our selection of solar films to enjoy summer early, from your sofa.

As the first rays of sunshine linger and the terraces fill up, the call of summer is slowly making itself felt. Even before the holidays truly begin, there's that gentle and promising transition period, when we already want to feel the warmth, the smell of the sea and the languor of long evenings. To get in the mood, there's nothing like the cinema. Here's a selection of films perfect for gradually immersing yourself in summer, without leaving your sofa.

Call Me By Your Name (Luca Guadagnino, 2017)

Call Me By Your Name | Official Trailer HD (2017)

Slow, sunny and sensual, this film is a true ode to the Italian summer. Between cycling, river fishing, and first loves, it invites you to slow down and feel the warmth that permeates every shot. A must-see to escape before you've even packed your suitcase, and to remember a young <a href="https://www.lofficiel.com/pop-culture/marty-supreme-tout-ce-que-l-on-sait-sur-le-prochain-film-avec-timothee-chalamet" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Timoth&eacute;e Chalamet</a> at the dawn of his career.

The Swimming Pool (Jacques Deray, 1969)

The Pool | 4K restoration | Official trailer | Lumière

A French classic burning with tension, La Piscine captures summer idleness and its troubled desires. The azure blue water, the song of the cicadas, and the elegance of Romy Schneider and <a href="https://www.lofficiel.com/pop-culture/5-films-a-revoir-pour-se-souvenir-d-alain-delon" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alain Delon</a>: everything is there for an immersion in a humid and captivating heat.

The Way Way Back (Nat Faxon &amp; Jim Rash, 2013)

THE WAY WAY BACK: Official HD Trailer

A teenage summer filled with awkwardness, self-discovery, and first summer jobs at a water park. This feel-good film, both tender and funny, is the perfect way to usher in the season with a sense of lightness and nostalgia.

Portrait of a Lady on Fire (Céline Sciamma, 2019)

PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE - Official Trailer – In Theaters 12.6.2019

No swimming or sunbathing here, but a dull heat, island isolation, and haunting summer light. A contemplative, intimate film whose romantic tension burns slowly, like a summer that refuses to end.

Vicky Cristina Barcelona (Woody Allen, 2008)

VICKY CRISTINA BARCELONA - Trailer - Starring: Scarlett Johansson, Penelope Cruz & Javier Bardem

<a href="https://www.lofficiel.com/voyage/grand-hotel-central-sejourner-dans-un-siecle-d-histoire-au-coeur-de-barcelone" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Barcelona</a>, the golden light, the glasses of wine at the end of the day, and the chaotic love affairs... This film is a concentrate of summer, passion, and sweet confusion. A good way to get into the dolce vita mood before booking your tickets.

Moonrise Kingdom (Wes Anderson, 2012)

Moonrise Kingdom - Official Trailer [HD]

A carefree summer adventure filled with cabins in the woods, maps, and scout costumes, <a href="https://www.lofficiel.com/pop-culture/l-ultra-style-wes-anderson-presente-son-nouveau-film-a-cannes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wes Anderson</a> deploys his unique aesthetic for a childlike, dreamy and delightfully retro summer.
