4. The Trip (2010)IFC FilmsA British television series inspired four movies released in the U.S. between 2010 and 2020, each directed by Michael Winterbottom. Steve Coogan and Rob Bryden play fictionalized versions of themselves on restaurant tours of England, Italy, Spain, and Greece. While all four are brilliant works of genius, the first two (England and Italy) are the strongest. All four share literary influences, such as Coleridge, Wordsworth, and the Brontes in England, and Byron, Keats, and Shelley in Italy. One music artist generally provides the soundtrack for each trip, among them ABBA, the Bee Gees, Alanis Morissette, and David Bowie, while Michael Nyman scores grace the quartet of films.

You’re probably starting to wonder what a Cambridge book butler might look and sound like, but it’s not just one person. It’s a range of staff who’ve been trained for the role and will be available on rotation as they juggle other duties.Call the front desk, and a list of available titles is sent up to your room. On that list is a wide range of fiction and nonfiction titles, in categories such as art and design, music, culture, biography, romance and philosophy, among others. “We have so many classics, from Dickens to John Dryden to Jane Austen,” Zeviani said. “We also have a lot of books about England and the UK — there are quite a few tomes about English gardening and plants, which is very, very British as a cultural aspect.”Her favourites are the classics: The Great Gatsby, War and Peace and Jane Eyre. But don’t think it’s all dated literature.
