Films and TV shows that feel like Sometimes by My Bloody Valentine
A tender, half-remembered haze where longing and numbness blur together, beautiful and slightly woozy, like melting into a memory you can't quite hold.
- Lost in Translation (2003): Sofia Coppola's jet-lagged neon drift uses MBV itself and captures the same intimate, dissociated tenderness.
- The Virgin Suicides (2000): Hazy, nostalgic suburban reverie where beauty and sadness blur together.
- Chungking Express (1994): Smeared lights and fleeting romantic yearning in a dreamy night city.
- Aftersun (2022): Memory dissolving into fragments, tender and aching.
- Normal People (2020): Irish, intimate, wordless longing between two people who can't quite connect.
- Twin Peaks (1990): Woozy, droning, dreamlike atmosphere with beautiful, unsettling textures.
- mid90s (2018): Hazy youthful nostalgia with a raw, tender undercurrent.
- In the Mood for Love (2000): Slow-drifting, sensuous longing suspended in soft color and haze.
