When drinking wine alone, the editor wants to watch a movie that exudes an elegant and mysterious atmosphere. Of course, sweet romance movies also pair well with wine. However, somehow when drinking wine solo, rather than love stories that make one feel lonely, the editor tends to look for movies with an elegant and subtle atmosphere where one can savor beautiful direction and ponder the lingering story. No side dishes needed. Today, I would like to recommend flavorful movies that go well with wine. Get your wine ready!

Swallow

The perfect husband, the perfect home, and even the child in the womb to be born under blessings. At first glance, Hunter, the protagonist who seems to be living a happy life, cannot shake off a feeling of emptiness. Living like an accessory to her husband and parents-in-law, Hunter's only solace is swallowing things she shouldn't eat. Perhaps because it is the only thing she has done by her own will.

The movie is a work where the use of color in direction delights the eyes. Especially notable are the clothes the protagonist wears and the interior created by Hunter's efforts to fill the empty house. Interpreting the meanings behind the various colors and patterns adds to the enjoyment. The various objects swallowed through red lips?are the only things that can fill her hollow inside cold glass beads or metal parts? To fill the emptiness, I wet my mouth with a sip of wine.

Little Joe

Alice, the protagonist, works as a researcher developing plant breeds. She succeeds in cultivating a flower that makes people happy to exhibit at a flower show. Proud of her creation, she names the flower after her son's name, ‘Joe,’ and cares for it with utmost devotion. Despite not having official approval, she secretly brings it home as a gift for her son. However, people who smell the flower start to behave strangely. And when the flower at home blooms fully, she senses that her beloved son has changed. The Joe in front of her is not her son Joe!

The movie stands out with its mysterious direction through the contrast of pale backgrounds and red flowers. Even more than the visuals, the eerie sound effects and background music dramatically create a mysterious atmosphere. It is not a monster that devours people in horrific forms, nor a serial killer who has killed many, but simply the quiet and beautiful red flower that pushes people into fear, making you swallow your saliva once, and your wine once.

The Lobster

A world where you must find a partner. Those left alone are treated as useless and face the fate of becoming animals. David, the protagonist who was divorced by his wife because of nearsightedness, comes to a couple-making hotel but finds it difficult to find a suitable partner. However, to take care of his brother who has already become a dog because he never married, he must leave this place as a human.

Eventually, David escapes the hotel and reaches a forest where people who refuse to become couples live together. Now thinking he will never have a partner for life, ironically, he meets the perfect match there. However, the absolute rule of the group that escaped the couple-making hotel is to never fall in love! But the two, overwhelmed by love without realizing it, don’t know what to do, and their forbidden love makes viewers anxious as well. Looks like I have no choice but to drink wine. If you want to see strange direction, atmosphere, and an unusual world, I recommend .
