"Pictures of dainty cottages, flower crowns, and homemade jars of jam have been inundating social media feeds for the past couple of months. The creators (and reposters) of these images are likely part of the "cottagecore" aesthetic, an online subculture based around a desire to escape the harsh, sterile modern landscape through the imagery of quaint countrysides, sweet animals, and delicate dwelling places. It's not so much turning a blind eye to the world's problems, as it is a way to center yourself to better solve them.
Staples of cottagecore include pastoral scenery, woodland creatures, vintage fashion, and well-groomed gardens. Members of the cottagecore aesthetic community often reblog screenshots from films that include these attributes, but few attempts have been made to compile a list of cottagecore films. So, for everyone with a penchant for mushrooms and fairy circles, here is a list of some of the best cottagecore movies."
