Glengarry Glen Ross
USA, 1992. (120 minutes). Directed by James Foley. Cast: Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, Alec Baldwin, Ed Harris, Kevin Spacey, Alan Arkin.
The dramatic greatness of David Mamet becomes an outburst of cinema that is as aggressive as it is angry. The author’s original Pulitzer-winning work encourages a sideways glance at the “American Dream,” which oscillates between humiliation, misery and detritus. A Chicago real estate company is giving away a Cadillac to the top seller of the month. The rest on the road. A good environment for man to show his hidden nature: insidious, fearful, vomiting. Chef Alec Baldwin’s words are as telling as they are chilling: “Who am I? look at my watch It’s worth more than your car.” The masterpiece is completed by the work of simply memorable actors.

‘Bravo River’
USA, 1959 (130 minutes). Director: Howard Hawks. Cast: John Wayne, Dean Martin, Ricky Nelson, Angie Dickinson.
Dean Martin, exhausted from alcohol, tries to retrieve a coin that was thrown into a spittoon in a saloon. John Wayne prevents it in a huge soffit. Río Bravo’s majestic beginning draws its characters in a few strokes. And Howard Hawks locks her in a filthy prison for most of the shoot along with Ricky Nelson and Walter Brennan. You are four heroes guarding a prisoner, waiting for the outside threat. In Río Bravo there are no meadows, no plains, no air. Tired and wounded characters live in it, suffocated, just wanting to survive.

‘Dunkirk’
Dunkirk. United Kingdom, 2017 (107 minutes). Director: Christopher Nolan. Cast: Tom Hardy, Mark Rylance, Kenneth Branagh.
An amazing stylistic bet from Nolan: from the visual bombast it is suggested to achieve the expressive conciseness. A monumental work that depicts the drama of the Allied soldiers trapped on the beach at Dunkirk, surrounded by the Germans, and that refines the story until it reaches the category of universal history.

‘Queen Margot’
Queen Margot. France-Germany-Italy, 1995 (137 minutes). Directed by Patrice Chereau. Cast: Isabelle Adjani, Daniel Auteuil, Vincent Pérez, Virna Lisi.
Patrice Chéreau flew to France at the end of the 16th century to tell the story of the marriage between Margaret of Valois and Henry of Navarre against the background of the massacre of the Huguenots on the night of Saint Bartholomew. The film blends ambition and love, hate and passion, intrigue and romance, all combined with intimate moments where the characters’ portrayals become subtle and detailed.

‘laugh dead’
Spain, 1999 (103 minutes). Director: Alex de la Iglesia. Interpreter: Santiago Segura, The Great Wyoming.
Alex de la Iglesia’s films may be more or less enjoyable, but no one will brand them as comfortable. It would have been easy for the filmmaker to emulate the lineage of his first two hits, Mutant Action and Day of the Beast; However, he explored new territory with Perdita Durango and changed direction again with this dead of laughter, showing an overwhelming mastery of the means of staging. So it delivers a hilarious vision of 1970s television Spain, attracting a couple of cathodic comedians who need each other as much as they hate each other.

‘The hunger Games’
United States, 2012 (140 minutes). Directed by Gary Ross. Cast: Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hatcherson, Stanley Tucci, Wes Bentley, Elizabeth Banks, Liam Hemsworth.
It was only a matter of time before Suzanne Collins’ popular literary series hit the big screen. And although there were logical objections to the result. The Hunger Games surprises with images of a certain power, imbued with a spirit of adventure. It’s true that he suffers from excess footage, but among so many expendable films, if not despicable, his critical message works in the face of a future world ruled by reality TV and television cruelty, and benefits from a shocking performance from the now ordained Jennifer Lawrence.

‘Grinder’

An intense futuristic fable, including time travel, that piles up violent sequences and plays with a visual style close to film noir. Looper brings a certain classic touch to the story and grows thanks to his genius directing work and the charisma of Bruce Willis.
