On this day, sport presents two important events: the duel between Spain and Canada at the Basketball World Cup, where the team must win to continue in the tournament, and the Catalan Grand Prix in motorcycling. DMAX also delivers a new episode of the documentary series Border Control: Spain. On the other hand, moviegoers can watch two highlights of the 1940s noir genre: “Al Rojo Vivo” by Raoul Walsh and “Perversidad” by Fritz Lang.
Catalan Motorcycle Grand Prix
10.30, 1
The MotoGP World Championship arrives at the Barcelona-Catalonia circuit. Fans can attend the first event of the day, the Moto3 race, at 11:00 a.m. with Dani Holgado leading the category. The Moto2 race with Pedro Acosta from Murcia at the front starts at 12:15 p.m. Finally, at 2 p.m., the most important event of Moto GP takes place, with reigning world champion Pecco Bagnaia looking for his sixth victory.
“Red hot”
2:50 p.m., TCM
WhiteHeat. USA, 1949 (109 minutes). Director: Raoul Walsh. Actors: James Cagney, Virginia Mayo.
In one of Red Hot’s climactic sequences, gangster Cody Jarret shouts, “Mom, I’m on top of the world!” The key to this climax of the noir genre can be seen in the animality of his face. The great Raoul Walsh took up the spirit of the films of the 1930s at the end of the 1940s. And he enclosed his production in a dry, austere formal work that promotes expressive concision as madness descends upon his characters. Beneath it all remain iconic images of unparalleled emotion, like that of Cody seeking shelter on his mother’s lap.
Spain, heads or tails at the World Cup
3:30 p.m., 1
After the first defeat at the Basketball World Cup last Friday against Latvia, the Spanish team is risking their participation in the tournament in a single game. If Scariolo’s players beat Canada today, they will reach the quarterfinals. Furthermore, a win would ensure them top spot in their group and a theoretically more favorable transition.
The everyday life of the border guards
9:30 p.m., DMAX
Drug and arms trafficking as well as the presence of suspected terrorists threaten customs and security services at Spanish borders on a daily basis. The documentary series Border Control: Spain portrays their daily work. This week’s episode shows three passengers from Athens making a stopover in Barcelona on their way to France and customs staff discover they are carrying six pieces of luggage full of contraband tobacco. In another case, tax authorities in Barcelona found a large amount of marijuana and derivatives using various concealment methods.
“Perversity”
10 p.m., Movistar Classics
Scarlet Street. USA, 1945 (102 minutes). Director: Fritz Lang. Starring: Edward G. Robinson, Joan Bennett.
It took courage to make a remake of Renoir’s classic The Whore. Fritz Lang had plenty of boldness as well as talent to create a captivating and electrifying plot, supported by the lead trio of his previous work The Woman in the Picture, and the classic story of the man destroyed by a femme fatale. to renew.
