Movies often use harsh summer climates to enhance drama and emotional tension. In the past, many theaters were air-conditioned, contrasting with characters' struggles against the heat. Notable films that exemplify this include "The Lost Patrol," which highlights the desolation of the Mesopotamian desert during WWI. "Rear Window" employs a summer night as a symbol of romance entwined with mystery. "Sun Don't Shine" presents a contemporary Florida neo-noir about a couple caught in a murder coverup. "Tabu" explores anti-colonial themes through a retrospective journey set in Mozambique.
"The Lost Patrol" centers on British troops in the Mesopotamian desert, showcasing the harshness of war against the backdrop of relentless sun and unsettling emptiness.
In "Rear Window", the sweltering summer night serves as a poignant symbol for the romantic and erotic bond shared between its central couple, adding layers to the murder mystery.
"Sun Don't Shine" is a Florida-set neo-noir about a couple wrapped up in a murder coverup, with the sun-scorched landscape reflecting their unraveling relationship.
In "Tabu", Miguel Gomes examines colonial history through a dual narrative—one in modern Lisbon and the other reflecting on a passionate adventure in colonial Mozambique.
