Yeah I'm basic, sue me. Part sad travelogue, part Malick faux-poetic tirade, part genuinely exceptional romance - but all in all one of the most beautiful films I've ever seen, left me breathless; the type of grandiose feast for the senses that honestly belongs in a museum. Not even just in the experience > film sense either tbh because what this is really good at capturing is people who are caught in fleeting lives - where they routinely visit some of the happiest places in the world but no one is actually happy - and how their love comes and goes, and sometimes just doesn't work out. Nothing notably momentous or bad always happens, sometimes it just... doesn't quite click. And that's okay. Sumptuous, erotic, funny, romantic, heartbreaking, and for once a romance that doesn't shame these people for simply testing out the waters. I also really want some of whatever Fassbender is on here because that shit looks like it *works*. Say what you will about the guy but no one's making movies like this. By *far* the best artsy love story with music as a backdrop starring Ryan Gosling.

Are Thieves Targeting the New Museum?
The brand new Grand Egyptian Museum is set to open, but they’ve been getting notes threatening one of their exhibits. Is someone planning a theft for opening night? Stefanie Adams and Thomas Burkhardt are heading to Egypt to figure things out. The suspects are a group of Egyptian history enthusiasts who have the wealth to buy their way out of close inspection when leaving the country. As theft and murder swirl around them, can Stefanie and Thomas figure out what is truly going on?

This series is a fun meshing of travelogue and mystery. While the pacing did slow down a time or two, we also got some great scenes on the way to the satisfying conclusion. And we still hit many major spots in Egypt over the course of the story, making me wish I could travel there. I also enjoyed the references to Egypt in pop culture. Stefanie and Thomas continue to be great leads, and I loved seeing them grow again here. Plus the suspects proved plenty entertaining. If you wish you could travel more, you’ll be glad you picked up this series.
