Two excellent films mark the cinema day, a landmark of independent cinema, Buffalo 66 by Vincent Gallo, and a combination of drama and comedy by Woody Allen, Melinda and Melinda. On Movistar Plus+, the Basketball King's Cup begins with the confrontation between Real Madrid and Murcia. A new episode of the series Entre tierras is airing on Antena 3 in prime time. Part 2, in turn, examines the history of fashion in The Flux Capacitor.
“Melinda and Melinda”
10/16 Movistar drama
USA, 2004, (100 minutes). Director: Woody Allen. Cast: Radha Mitchell, Amanda Peet, Will Ferrell.
Drama and comedy run parallel. This is what Woody Allen says, who actually tells two stories that arise from the same situation and develop in opposite directions: The hilarious nature of some situations can quickly turn tragic. A new example of ingenuity and stagecraft, supported by an excellent Radha Mitchell.

PipoFernandez
The characters in the series “Between Lands” face new conflicts during these broadcasts, especially those in love. Manuel travels to Almería to rescue María.

“Buffalo 66”
23.55, TCM
USA, 1998 (105 minutes). Director: Vincent Gallo. Cast: Vincent Gallo, Christina Ricci, Ben Gazzara, Anjelica Huston.
The first film by actor Vincent Gallo shines with narrative competence and a production that is as unorthodox as it is angry, which even dares to include a resource that is now so forgotten as the split screen. Buffalo 66 follows the steps of a subject who leaves prison with the aim of taking revenge on the person who caused his incarceration and presenting himself to his parents as a restored man. To do this, he kidnaps a young woman who he passes off as his wife. Gallo creates an exemplary drama that explores personal misery, deceit and simulation as vital resources. His characters, bitter spirits, apathetic people, live between shadows and lies, tied to the television or drowning in the ritual of the closed rooms of the bowling alleys.
