Trying to become the ideal adult, only to realize that no matter your age, the fear of the unknown never truly fades?
With limited life experience, we struggle to survive in an ever-changing world.
We become parents, yet still carry the weight of our own upbringing.
Here are five soul-nourishing cinematic “coming-of-age remedies” to help you rediscover your original self and strength—bring along your inner child and taste the essence of growth:
Yi Yi, a Taiwanese New Wave masterpiece, reflects the quiet milestones of growing up.
When dreams fall apart, All About Lily Chou-Chou captures the angst of disillusioned youth.
Lost your way? Get gloriously drunk with Another Round, the Oscar-winning Danish hit.
Feeling bound by your roots? Draw rebellious inspiration from Afghanistan’s maverick filmmaker in Nothingwood.
And if loneliness creeps in, turn to the extraordinary lives of creators like Cheng Wen, Steve Jobs, Yayoi Kusama, and Agnès Varda.
Sometimes, growing up isn’t about letting go of your inner child—but learning how to walk with them.
