“Encounters in the Third Phase”
Close Encounters of the Third Kind. USA, 1977 (125 minutes). Directed by Steven Spielberg. Cast: Richard Dreyfuss, Francois Truffaut, Teri Garr.
It’s stimulating to look back at Spielberg in the 1970s. He had not yet become the guru of commercial cinema, in which over time he has restricted its forms and content. That’s why Third Kind Encounters remains one of his heartiest films: Spielberg delivers a fresh take on Aliens cinema, filtered through the big show, yes, but also grown-up and intrigued, creating a compelling film, meticulous drama Development.

‘imitate’
USA, 1997 (102 minutes). Directed by Guillermo del Toro. Cast: Mira Sorvino, Jeremy Northam, Giancarlo Gianni.
Guillermo del Toro’s second film after the excellent Cronos still remains a stimulating, spooky tale riddled with claustrophobic smells at the expense of some scary cockroaches that live in the tunnels and basements of the New York subway. “Mimic” is a good example of the author’s storytelling talent, dealing with unhealthy environments and precisely playing with the mechanisms of suspense. You want many.

‘Thesis’
Spain, 1996 (125 minutes). Directed by Alejandro Amenabar. Cast: Ana Torrent, Eduardo Noriega, Fele Martinez.
Amenábar captivated viewers with his first work, a genre film model that followed certain patterns in American cinema. The work incorporates narrative development close to thriller modes and offers a plot that increases tension in the most mundane of settings. Thus he plunges into the hideous world of snuff films, while Amenábar’s camera lingers on the fear evoked by a look, a gesture, a set.

“The Maltese Falcon”
The Maltese Falcon. USA, 1941 (100 minutes). Directed by John Houston. Cast: Humphrey Bogart, Mary Astor, Peter Lorre.
In his first film, John Huston adapts Dashiell Hammett’s immortal novel and makes The Maltese Falcon a film noir icon. But there’s more: “The Maltese Falcon” is also a nihilistic outburst that oscillates between cigarette smoke, malice, sarcasm and a shot of whiskey. Bogart is Sam Spade, the subject who can tell his lover before her imminent arrest, “If you’re hanged, I’ll always remember you,” the anti-hero detective, the loser whose dignity no one can take away. The stuff dreams are made of pulses with life in The Maltese Falcon.
