Spain-Brazil at the Basketball World Cup
3:30 p.m., Teleport
The Spanish basketball team is about to play its second game at the FIBA World Cup, which will be played in Japan, Indonesia and the Philippines. Sergio Scariolo’s players are aiming for their second win against theoretically strongest rivals in their group, Brazil, who are weakened after their point guard Neto suffered a serious injury in the first game of the tournament. The win is believed to be very important as it would allow Spain to advance to the next group stage, which will also carry over the results achieved there.
“Beau de jour”
6.25pm, Movistar Classics
France, 1967 (96 minutes). Directed by Luis Bunuel. Interpreters: Catherine Deneuve, Jean Sorel, Michel Piccoli, Francisco Rabal.
Luis Buñuel looks into the abyss of passion in a film that is as cynical as it is amoral. The master uses surreal assumptions to fill in the niches of sensation in a plot that is equal parts revealing and concealing. It will be the viewer who must ask about the possible meanings, if any, of what is being reported. Buñuel dissects the steps of a wealthy woman who, fearing frigidity, decides to work in a brothel behind her husband’s back. Belle de Jour creates some iconic images, such as that showing Catherine Deneuve to a tree in the Bois de Boulogne.
“Mogambo”
05/22, the 2nd
United States, 1953 (110 minutes). Directed by: John Ford. Cast: Clark Gable, Ava Gardner, Grace Kelly, Philip Stanton.
Mogambo is a title beyond good and evil. It doesn’t matter that he isn’t ranked among Master Ford’s top titles and his narrative has more than notable gaps. The filmmaker knows how to bring a real spirit of adventure to the film, and the actors’ appeal lets the sparks fly as Ava Gardner completely devours the icy Grace Kelly.
Second semi-final of the “Summer Grand Prix”
22.35, 1st
Alfacar from Granada and Yepes from Toledo are the last two cities aiming for a place in the final of the Summer Grand Prix. Ramón García will again direct the competition, this time featuring María Peláe, who will be cheering for the Andalusian team, and Fernando Romay, who will be cheering the same with the La Mancha team. Of course, Michelle Calvó, Cristinini, Wilbur, the heifer and the dinosaur will not miss the appointment on the set.
Triple part of the series “9-1-1”
22.50, four
Los Angeles emergency services are faced with new conflicts tonight in the three episodes of the series 9-1-1. In other cases, they are chasing a truck into which someone has placed a homemade bomb that will explode when the vehicle slows a certain speed. The protagonists will also deal with personal issues, such as Maddie going to a specialty hospital in Boston after her recent suicide attempt and the intermittent depression she has suffered since the death of her brother.
