The Weekly Report section ends the year with a summary of the most notable events of 2023. On DMAX, the documentary series Spain Uncovered digitally recreates the monuments of the national territory. A selection of the best chapters of The Gold Rush: Lost Mines appears in DMAX. In the cinematic field, a great and extremely hard work by Javier Fesser, Camino, and a great thriller by M. Night Shyamalan, Unbreakable, stand out.
“The Unbreakable”
5/15, AXN Films
The unbreakable. USA, 2000 (99 minutes). Director M. Night Shyamalan. Actors: Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson.
It's always worth reviewing films like Unbreakable, which demonstrate the almost visionary quality of an author like Shyamalan. A bold and exciting homage to the world of comics that creates real-life counterparts for comic heroes. The result is a great thriller, but also a dense plot that moves between electric shocks and is wrapped in a production of undeniable classic spirit. The sequence in which Bruce Willis' character tests his powers before his son's eyes, which in the hands of any upstart would have become a whirlwind of disorganized shots, reveals a filmmaker of immense wisdom, a magician of rhythm, Editing and management of cinematographic space.

Summary of the year, in the “Weekly Report”

Fernando Calvo
Three reports serve as weekly reports to provide an overview of 2023. The first of them provides an overview of events in the Spanish political scene in a year with a motion of no confidence, two calls for elections and two investitures. The program then takes stock of the most important social, cultural and sporting news. Finally, he will take a look at himself to mark the year in which he celebrated his 50th anniversary.
'Away'
10 p.m., Spanish cinema Movistar
Spain, 2008 (143 minutes). Director: Javier Fesser. Artists: Nerea Camacho, Carmen Elías, Mariano Venancio.
Javier Fesser's third film paints an aggressive portrait of religious fanaticism. Also a story, at the same time tender and terrible, about princesses and monsters, a disturbing social structure and a battle between light and darkness. Camino opens many fronts in its admirable history. And he approaches it with consistency and calmness. The protagonist is an 11-year-old girl who suffers from a terminal illness and has been raised to accept death as divine intent. The longing for happiness lives in his bright and painful eyes. In those around them, tragedy and suffering are jealously nurtured in the name of the afterlife. Camino's images, cruel but beautiful, are bursting with suggestions and emotions. Javier Fesser not only creates an unforgettable film, but also a moving invitation to reflect.
