Bad Vacations

3 Episodes

Wishing you could get away this summer? This collection of some of cinema’s most memorably disastrous trips will have you reconsidering the comforts of home. Dreaming of the crystal blue waters of the French Riviera? The existential ennui of Eric Rohmer’s LA COLLECTIONNEUSE should set you straight. Pining for romance under the Italian sun? Just see how it works out for the tourists in Paul Schrader’s THE COMFORT OF STRANGERS. And then there’s the terror of a camping excursion gone wrong in the Ozploitation shocker LONG WEEKEND and the dread-inducing psychological torpor of a dysfunctional family getaway in Lucrecia Martel’s LA CIÉNAGA. Finally, whatever you do, take a lesson from HOUSE and do not, under any circumstances, visit your witchy aunt’s possessed, people-munching domicile . . .
