Cesc Gay debe ser una persona interesante, o por lo menos debe ser un gran conocedor de la humanidad, al menos viendo cómo escribe los personajes y los diálogos de sus películas. ¡Y quizás no tenga mucha fe en esa misma humanidad que sabe reproducir tan bien en la gran pantalla! Digo esto después de … More En la ciudad: reseña de la peli
Son of Saul (Saul fia is the original title) is the first film as director of László Nemes, Hungarian, who in 2015 unexpectedly won tons of awards including the Grand prix at Cannes and the Oscar for best foreign language film. The theme of the movie is the holocaust and the director treats it in … More Son Of Saul: Movie Review
Let’s be clear right away: I’m about to talk about the 1956 movie, not the 1934 one. The director was the same, but the first film was defined by the director himself as the product of a talented amateur, and the second the movie made by a professional. This eponymous remake of The man who … More The Man Who Knew Too Much: Movie Review
The Mule is the latest cinematographic effort of Clint Eastwood, who’s now almost 90 years old. Not only has it produced and directed the movie, but he’s also its protagonist. Clint (almost) always deserves respect, so I went to the cinema with the best intentions, even though I had read some not-so-enthusiastic reviews. And what about … More The Mule: Movie Review

Costume movies and historic dramas are always popular and this year is no exception. For example, today I could go to my favorite cinema in town and choose among Josie Rourke’s Mary Queen of Scots, Yorgos Lanthimos’ The Favourite, and Marc Dugain’s L’échange des princesses. Instead, I decided to watch a 2000 film on DVD: … More Vatel: Movie Review
Everyone is talking about it and at the end I also went to see The Favourite, currently nominated for 10 Oscars. Made with a relatively modest budget ($15 million), its director is the good Yorgos Lanthimos (among other things, he directed The Lobster in 2015) and it stars three exceptional actresses: Rachel Weisz (recently seen … More The Favourite: Movie Review
Border is a Swedish movie directed by Ali Abbasi and starring Eva Melander and Eero Milonoff. It’s now gaining some popularity possibly thanks to its Oscar nomination for the best makeup. I saw it at the cinema a few days ago and it has impacted me a lot, I enjoyed it, but I have no … More Border: Movie Review
Let me admit it straight away: I saw Clint Eastwood’s Million dollar baby 15 years after it came out (2004). At the end of the vision I felt as if Hillary Swank had hit me with one of her stomach punches: this film impressed me, moved me, and even made me feel a little angry. I’ll … More Million Dollar Baby: Movie Review
