What Films to Watch
As we retreat to our safe spaces, at home and with loved ones, we look for ways to keep our minds and imaginations stimulated, and make the most of this time in the confines of our surroundings.
At Turnbull, we’re taking this opportunity to indulge in some of our favourite films.
Swap the time you would spend on your commute, with the chance to truly unwind with a cinematic classic. Curl up in comforting cashmere and allow your imagination to wander through dazzling narratives. We’ve handpicked the films we’ll be reaching for first in the evenings and weekends that lay ahead.
The Darjeeling Limited, 2007, Wes Anderson
Wes Anderson’s The Darjeeling Limited follows three brothers on their journey across India, as an effort to reconnect following the death of their father. The film is an aesthetic whirlwind with vivid colours, rich textures and a score that brings the mood together with an ease that only Anderson can pull off.
Incidentally, the film provided the inspiration for our new nightwear capsule, which you’ll see evidence of in the whimsical colour palette as well as the character of the campaign.
