Quarantine Film List
Barry Jenkins, the Oscar-winning director best known for Moonlight, was wrapping an upcoming television project when the stay-at-home orders arrived. Jenkins told Atlantic staff writer David Sims. “It’s just been one continuous Monday.”
To reclaim that Friday-at-the-movies feeling, try one of these Jenkins-approved picks:
MID-AUGUST LUNCH (2008)
The film: This light Italian comedy-drama follows a man who starts caring for his neighbors’ elderly relatives during the busy holiday season as a way to pay off his debts.
Jenkins’s notes: “I’ve been [thinking] about Italy during this crisis, and this was a tiny film I’d seen years ago. It’s the most amazing little film, the directorial debut of the writer of the Italian film Gomorrah. It’s 75 minutes, it’s on Amazon Prime, and it’s just delightful.”
Watch it on: Amazon Prime
TRAIN TO BUSAN (2016)
The film: A zombie apocalypse suddenly breaks out in South Korea, ensnaring the passengers of a train on the way to the city of Busan.
Jenkins’s notes: “This was [Jenkins’s partner, the writer and the director Lulu Wang’s] recommendation. I hadn’t seen it, but it’s really awesome—I was in the back room where we watched, screaming and shouting. It transported us, in a way! We turned the lights off, enjoyed the jump scares.”
Watch it on: Netflix
STALKER (1979)
The film: Andrei Tarkovsky’s sci-fi masterwork sees a strange figure called the “Stalker” leading a writer and a professor into the forbidden and desolate “zone,” where a room supposedly exists that can fulfill any desire.
Jenkins’s notes: “It’s the kind of movie that sits in the back of your head.”
Watch it on: Criterion Channel
