Romantic movies are tricky. Should they be about love or about happy endings? I’ll go with the first one. In fact, I don’t think movies about romances necessarily have to be pleasant – or at least not entirely.

Some of the best romantic movies ever made don’t have happy endings. And yet, they make me love love. Following this logic, some movies on this list are funny and uplifting, while others are genuinely hearth-breaking – or somewhere in between.

Here are five titles to stream this Valentine’s Day.

5 Romantic Movies to Stream Right Now

500 Days of Summer

500 Days of Summer is everything you’d expect from a cult indie movie: quirky characters, great music and a somewhat realistic representation of love. Released in 2009 – not exactly a glorious time for the romcom genre – it’s a 2000s gem that I’ll never get tired of rewatching.

Someone Great

Netflix’s Someone Great is a quintessentially millennial love story. While it’s technically about a break up, it does explore love and personal growth in multiple ways. I like that it doesn’t take itself too seriously without falling into the trap of meaningless entertainment. Also, Gina Rodriguez does a great job as Jenny and I’ve had that hilarious scene of her singing Lizzo’s Truth Hurts printed in my head since I first watched it.

Dear Ex

Critically acclaimed Taiwanese dramedy Dear Ex is about complicated family dynamics and a secret love triangle. When Sanlian’s (played superbly by Ying-Hsuan Hsieh) ex-husband dies, she finds out that he has changed his insurance policy, making his ex lover, a man named Jay, its only beneficiary. Throughout the story, love is expressed in peculiar ways and that’s what makes the movie particularly interesting.

Marriage Story

So, this one will make you cry. Scarlett Johnansson and Adam Driver give career-defining performances in this family drama by Noah Baumbach. It’s hard to describe Marriage Story as its beauty lays in its masterful and hyper realistic dialogues. More than anything, this is a story about a family staying together.

Love, Simon

Who doesn’t love a good coming-of-age story? Based on the best selling novel, the movie follows Simon’s quest to find himself as he explores his sexuality and falls in love for the first the time. Love, Simon is funny and heartfelt, with just the right amount of cliché romcom tropes.

Just in time to welcome the new year (and the new social distancing restrictions), January sees the return of many beloved shows and the release of some of the most anticipated titles of 2022. From a popular crime drama, to a dark comedy thriller and a WWW II-inspired film, here’s what to watch in January on Netflix Hong Kong.

What to Watch in January on Netflix Hong Kong

Cheer Season 2

Release Date: January 12

After the global success of season one - and multiple Emmy wins - the athletes of Navarro Cheer are back to face new challenges in the midst of a pandemic. The nine episodes of season two will delve even deeper into the team members' personal lives while exploring the rivalry with Trinity Valley Community College in the months preceding the 2021 championship in Daytona.

Ozark Season 2, Part One

Release Date: January 21

Star-studded Ozark is of Netflix's most acclaimed shows of all time. Thanks to its tone, aesthetic and impeccable writing, over the years, the stories of the Byrde family and their involvement in Missouri's criminal underworld have become more and more compelling and entertaining. After an explosive end to season three, we can't wait to see what the final episodes have in store for Marty and Wendy.

The Woman in the House Across the Street From the Girl in the Window

Release Date: January 28

Despite the (very) long title and its familiar premise, judging from the trailer, this new dark comedy thriller appears to be worth watching. In the miniseries, Anna, played by Kristen Bell, spends most her days staring out the window passively watching life goes by....Until she witnesses a murder.

Too Hot to Handle Season 3

Release Date: January 19

Over the years, Netflix has released some of the best guilty pleasure TV out there. In the early days of the pandemic, the Too Hot to Handle's first season was a massive hit. Somehow, seeing strangers flirting on a tropical beach and obsessively talking about themselves proved to be a binge-worthy formula - and we're okay with that.

Munich - The Edge of War

Release Date: January 22

Netflix's first major movie of 2022 is based on the international bestseller by Robert Harris and it's set in 1938, when Europe was on the brink of war. In Munich - The Edge of War, a British civil servant and a German diplomat find themselves at the centre of an epic political intrigue as they try to avert an international conflict.

While there are some Christmas movies that are actually great, the most popular and successful ones are comforting, heartwarming and often cheesy - and that's okay!

The festive season, in fact, is the time of year when we can collectively indulge in predictable romantic comedies and "fantasy" sagas of dubious credibility without being judged.

From 90s classics that still make us all feel nostalgic to newer releases that took the internet by storm and rom-coms, here are our top picks to stream right now in Hong Kong.

5 Christmas Movies to Stream Right Now

The Holiday

Nothing screams Christmas rom-com more than a stellar ensemble cast. In the Holiday, Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz swap homes during the festive season after bad breakups. While the story is is as corny as it gets, the 2006 box office success boosts great aesthetic design, uplifting performances and some truly enjoyable romantic scenes.

Stream here

Home Alone

No synopsis needed here. If you were born after 1980 and have an issue with the unrealistic premise of this genre-defining '90s classic, you shouldn't watch any movie on this list.

Stream here

A Christmas Prince

When a fictitious nation where it always snows, a charming prince and a naive young journalist are involved, you know you're in for a treat. A Christmas Prince, the first instalment of Netflix's popular trilogy, takes the soppy - and yet somehow enjoyable - tropes of Hallmark Channel and gives them a millennial treatment.

Strem here

Serendipity

This one's probably controversial but Serendipity is one of the most underrated Christmas movies of all time. Is it extremely unrealistic and absurd at times? Yes! However, this rom-com's vibes are really immaculate (if you love early 2000s movies, of course). Plus, who doesn't like John Cusack?

Stream here

The Nightmare Before Christmas

Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas is first and foremost a meticulously crafted visual masterpiece. The story and music, however, also make for a stylish and heartwarming holiday classic that leaves a mark with a timeless message of gratitude.

As Chaumet's CEO Jean-Marc Mansvelt tells us, bringing the house's 240-year heritage into the modern era is an immense task that amounts to a "daily obsession". But if the new pieces in the Chaumet Joséphine collection are anything to go by, the Place Vendôme stalwart is heading in the right direction.

What kind of woman today does the Joséphine collection appeal to?

First, it’s about a woman with a certain character. Because when you choose to wear a tiara on your finger, you’re making a choice of distinction, a choice of character. You’re sending a message to say you’re not like everyone else and you have a certain strength and a certain personality. But also a sense of virtuosity, grace and beauty, because it’s not for women who want to be too provocative.

It’s a way to set your personality. And then of course, there are two major reasons to become a client of Joséphine. On one side, it remains one of the favourite pieces chosen for a bridal purpose. It’s connected to the initial history of Chaumet, the history of the power and love between Napoleon and Joséphine. And Napoleon is known everywhere, that’s incredible. There’s another type of client on the other side of the connection with the pearls, the coloured stones, something a bit easier and more accessible.

This year, Chaumet's creations have also incorporated sleeker, more modern takes on the tiara. Can you tell us a bit about the new high jewellery?

After many creations that were a bit more tiara-like, a bit more decorative, more visible, more baroque in a certain way, we wanted to enrich the collection with new ways to mix and match, and to go for designs that were slicker, with a more minimalist approach, because that’s also the style of today. We have a feeling that clients today are a little more understated, and we have the capacity to create beauty through a fine line, rather than an accumulation. So one of our high- jewellery pieces, which is sort of a V with a stone in suspension, doesn’t shout about its design. It’s all about balance.

This year is the 10th anniversary of the Joséphine collection...

But we don’t mark it that way for two reasons. I always feel that if you start doing anniversaries for everything, then at the end, what’s the meaning in it? Last year, when we did the 240 years of Chaumet, that was slightly different. For Chaumet, our heritage is much longer than a decade, it’s about centuries. Instead, this year, we’re celebrating our connection with the 200th anniversary of the death of Napoleon, which is significant in Europe and in France. We’ve done an exhibition at 12 Place Vendôme that was open to the public which tells the love story of Napoleon and Josephine through 150 different objects, beautiful loans from museums and private owners.

Which piece proved to be the most challenging piece in the collection?

The most discussed and the most debated one was the watch. Because we’re clearly a jeweller, and we’ve focused all our efforts and attention on jewellery. But since a few years ago, we’ve reassessed and repositioned what watches mean for Chaumet. It’s true that with the business of watches within Chaumet, we’ve really tried to be coherent with what the story of watchmaking for Chaumet is as a jeweller. One of our challenges was to look at the market – in the market, 90 percent of watches are round – and nobody’s waiting for Chaumet to create a round watch, because we already have thousands of beautiful options on the market.

We decided on a shaped watch, and it wasn’t very difficult to settle on the pear shape, like an illusion of a diamond. We also faceted the watch’s dial.

How do you balance 240 years of heritage behind a brand and stay relevant at the same time?

That’s really the obsession every single day. How do we continue the narrative, the link to the story? Since the pandemic, we’ve seen clients choose Chaumet because there’s longevity. And so it becomes a daily obsession of ours to convey this message to our clients through different means, including the digital approach, so we can speak to the needs of our audience today. We also go through the traditional channels and have books and exhibitions. I regularly write down on paper in two columns: on one side, how much do we tell the story of Chaumet, and on the other, how do we take a contemporary approach, either through the narrative or through using different tools? I take a step back and ask myself is there a balance? If we’re going too much in one direction, maybe it’s time to rebalance. It’s in everything we do.

Thierry Wasser, master perfumer at Guerlain, talks to Prestige about the latest compositions in L'Art & La Metière collection, and the past, present, and genderless tomorrow of perfume-making.

Perfume making at Guerlain is pretty much an elevated art form under the leadership of master perfumer Thierry Wasser, who ensures that all the house’s creations connect with the spirit of the time. It was under his watch that the exclusive L’Art & La Metière collection was established in 2005 as an ode to the source of all perfumes – the natural, raw materials themselves.

This year, the collection is relaunched as an impassioned celebration of the art of fragrance, with the original 11 scents joined by four beloved Guerlain fragrances – Frenchy Lavande, Hermès Troublants, Oeillet Pourpre and Épices Volées (formerly Le Frenchy, Un Dimanche à la Campagne, Lui and Arsène Lupin Voyou respectively). Two new compositions have also created by Guerlain perfumer Delphine Jelk. Rose Chérie and Santal Pao Rose are both interpretations of that most popular floral, the rose, to bring the L’Art & La Metière collection up to 17 unique and distinct scents.

Although the rose is popularly viewed as a feminine ingredient, Wasser insists this was an “occidental way of thinking”, and that the divide never existed in the world of perfume until marketing intervened. And Wasser would know: he’s worked with Jean-Paul Guerlain himself and, before joining the house permanently in 2008, he’d created many notable perfumes for others, including Christian Dior and Lancôme.

Wasser talked about his lifelong commitment to perfumes, the joys of creating perfumes that celebrate a singular accord, and his belief that the future of fragrances will be genderless.

I read that you collected plants to dry at home and make tinctures when you were young. Were you always fascinated with nature, raw materials and scents?

From about the age of 10, I began reading all the literature I could find regarding medicinal plants, then I’d search the hills outside Montreux for the species I’d read about. Indeed, I’d collect them, dry them, and make all sorts of potions. It was my first, innocent, romantic foray into perfumery.

You’ve made so many well-known perfumes in the past, for other houses as well as Guerlain. How would you describe what makes your signature?

I’d rather leave it to beauty journalists and fragrance critics to identify my signature, since self-analysis can be quite difficult. I do believe that I’m versatile as a creator, due in part to my natural curiosity and desire to explore.

How do you approach each new fragrance in a creative way? Is it important to you to create a completely new fragrance with a new story or do you look to the archives?

Formulating fragrance is a way to express oneself, sometimes creatively, sometimes emotionally. In order to do that clearly, one needs to have a sense of culture – its past and its present. There are times when I do take inspiration from the past; other times I literally begin with a fresh, blank page in front of me. I think creating from both perspectives makes for a richer, fuller expression.

Of all the senses, smell is the most powerful when it comes to evoking memories and feelings. Is this something you bear in mind when creating new fragrances?

Creating a fragrance is like telling a story, but instead of words I use raw materials – and, like words, each one has a meaning. That said, the story I choose to tell via fragrance is open to interpretation from the wearer and may be forever linked to their memories and feelings in a way that I never intended or imagined. I quite like that aspect of perfume. It’s intensely personal and eternal in a way that I’ll never know.

Perfumes are usually created as a mix of different notes, but with the L’Art & La Metière collection you placed a singular focus on a raw material itself to create the fragrance. What inspired you to do this?

The fragrances in this collection are of a style, one that distinctly expresses a feeling about a specific raw material. This collection reflects the unique marriage of intention and a singular note. That collision of emotion and solo raw material is very inspiring to me.

Are there certain raw materials that you find more interesting to work with than others?

My passion for specific notes is very capricious. Very often when working with one accord, I begin to fall in love with another complementary ingredient. I can’t name a favourite, because my interest is constantly changing.

The rose comes in so many variants. The new Rose Chérie and the Santal Pao Rose, for example, are two very different takes. Can you tell us more about the two fragrances and the ingredients you’ve chosen to work with?

Rose Chérie is about romanticism. It’s a romantic interpretation of the beauty of the flower itself. It’s like a sweet kiss. Santal Pao Rosa reflects a flower grounded in soil. The added touch of sandalwood gives the fragrance strength and even a sense of spirituality.

How do the new fragrances compliment the other rose scents in the line?

Rose Barbare, the other rose fragrance in the line, is a very sensual, carnal composition. I think these two new additions help to reveal more of the moods and facets of this endlessly inspiring ingredient.

You’ve credited Jean-Paul Guerlain himself for teaching you the importance of sourcing raw materials.

Jean-Paul Guerlain had a very logical, common-sense approach to sourcing, which I learned and appreciate greatly. I’m proud to witness and uphold Guerlain’s long-standing commitment to sustainability, a value of the house well before my arrival and before it was fashionable. Without sustainability, we’d never have been able to maintain our partnerships and relevance for so many years.

When did perfumes become gendered and, moving forward, will we see more unisex fragrances?

Fragrance became gendered in Europe on the democratisation of the use of perfume. The public’s mindset at the time liked to discriminate between male and female. It’s a very occidental way of thinking. If you go to other cultures, these divisions don’t exist in the world of perfume. I like to think that the future is to design fragrances that are genderless rather than unisex. It’s a fine difference but to me, it’s one that matters.

Is there more room today for men to express their beauty and style?

My hope and my belief are that future generations of perfumers will be free to create without limitations of gender or societal norms. Yes, there’s more room today for all of us to express our individual beauty in ways that my ancestors couldn’t have imagined, but there’s always potential to evolve even further. Freedom of expression in fragrance is the future.

It's that magical time of the year again: the Venice Film Festival 2021 - the oldest fest still running - is back to grace us with long-anticipated premieres, memorable red carpet outfits, grand entrances by boat, and everything in between.

This year, the line up is pretty impressive, with celebrated directors like Pedro Almodóvar and Ridley Scott presenting new features, documentaries on global stars like Led Zeppelin and Leonard Cohen making their debut, and, of course, a biopic-style film about royalty.

We can't wait for the lido to light up, in the meantime, here are five movies that we are looking forward to checking out at Venice Film Festival 2021.

Halloween Kills

The twelfth instalment of the cult Halloween series, directed by David Gordon Green, sees Nick Castle and Jamie Lee Curtis (who will be honoured with a lifetime achievement award at Venice 2021) reprising their roles as Michael Myers and Laurie Strode respectively. The movie begins where the previous chapter ended and we can't wait to watch the next clash between Laurie and her family and Michael in Haddonfield.

Becoming Led Zeppelin

Venice 2021 will be a particularly good year for music documentaries. One that we are really looking forward to seeing is Becoming Led Zeppelin, a years-in-the-making project that chronicles the lives of each member and the legendary band's meteoric rise to stardom through rare footages and interviews with Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones.

Spencer

Looking at the trailer and images, Kristen Stewart's transformation into Princess Diana, looks remarkable. Pablo Larraín's take on the late princess' life focuses on the Christmas festivities of 1991, when Diana decides to leave Prince Charles. Now, the premise is interesting enough to hope that the latest biopic-esque movie on the Princess of Wales will have more luck than its predecessors.

Last Night in Soho

At first glance, Last Night in Soho looks remarkably stylish - and drenched in neon lights. The psychological thriller stars Anya Taylor-Joy (we love you), Matt Smith and Thomasin McKenzie, who plays an aspiring fashion designer that is mysteriously transported back to the 1960s in the body a singer named Sandy (played by Taylor-Joy).

Parallel Mothers

In Parallel Mothers (Madres paralelas in Spanish), Pedro Almodóvar explores womanhood and social dynamics through the stories of three mothers plays by Aitana Sánchez-Gijón, Penélope Cruz and Milena Smit. Those in awe Almodóvar's distinct auteur style might be in for a treat.
