Premiere of the series “Death Below Zero”
9:00 p.m., AMC
Based on the acclaimed novels of Finnish author Christian Rönnbacka, the series Death Below Zero, premiering today on AMC, tells an eight-episode crime story set in the town of Porvoo in southern Finland. The idyllic river that flows through the city becomes the scene of several mysterious murders investigated by Agent Antti Hautalehto, which are the focus of the original novels and also the plot of this adaptation.
'Class'
10 p.m., Movistar Indie
Among the Murs. France, 2008 (128 minutes). Director: Laurent Cantet. Actors: François Bégaudeau and high school student Françoise Dolto.
Contemporary cinema can still do wonders. They come from filmmakers like Laurent Cantet, author of previous hits like “Human Resources,” “The Use of Time” and “Towards the South.” “The Class,” a film about the difficulties of teaching and learning, delves into the ins and outs of a Paris high school classroom. Even in the hardships, failures and occasional joys of the teacher's work. An example of committed cinema, of course, but also a peak of expression that reworks reality to create a documentary fiction based on absolute naturalness: the teenagers who star in the film adhere to certain cinematic guidelines set by the director, but also participate in the creation of their interventions in front of the camera. Before them is François Bégaudeau, playing himself, the stubborn teacher who accompanies them and who must both understand and admonish them. The class is an example of magical, vivid, emotional and painful cinema.
Two new chapters in the “Debt” series
10:30 p.m., sixth
The adventures that the characters in the series Debts experience increase in the two episodes that air tonight. Fani will propose to Iván the picturesque task of searching for a mysterious treasure hidden in Vicálvaro. Meanwhile, Doña Consuelo receives a visit from her brother-in-law, an important cardinal at the Vatican. Amidst all of this, Lucia, overburdened with debt, will try to get money from Sara.
'Absolute Power'
10:45 p.m., antenna 3
Absolute power. USA, 1996 (116 minutes). Directed by Clint Eastwood. Cast: Clint Eastwood, Gene Hackman, Ed Harris
“Absolute Power” doesn’t reach the heights of Eastwood’s peaks like “Unforgiven” or “Mystic River,” but the filmmaker knows how to bring sharp edges to an almost conventional intrigue about a white-collar thief involved in a murder. He traces a bitter and disillusioned reflection on the shadows of power and ambition.
