La 2 broadcasts live the closing gala of Seminci, the Valladolid Film Festival. And on this TV day, moviegoers can see an unforgettable work of seventies horror cinema, The Prophecy, on DARK and Alejandro Amenábar’s excellent second film, Abre los ojos, on Movistar Cien Español. In addition, the Weekly Report on La 1 contains a report on Princess Leonor’s coming of age and laSexta Xplica, for its part, deals with a debate on the challenges of the labor market.
‘Open your eyes’
16.05, Movistar Spanish Cinema
Spain, 1997 (113 minutes). Director: Alejandro Amenabar. Artists: Eduardo Noriega, Penélope Cruz, Najwa Nimry.
Far from repeating the plans of Tesis, his triumphant debut, Alejandro Amenábar took a risk with his second film, which played with less commercial elements. “Open Your Eyes” moves through an obsessive mosaic of illusion and illusion to play with the intertwining of dream and reality. And although the web of plots that Amenábar weaves together suffers from a certain confusion at times, the director’s oppressive staging and the expressive power of his camera are nevertheless an electrifying visual exercise.
‘The Prophecy’
5:50 p.m., DARK
The Omen. USA, 1976 (106 minutes). Director: Richard Donner. Cast: Regory Peck, Lee Remick, Harvey Stephens.
To find some references to the horror genre, it’s worth looking back to the 1970s. This is even more true in this new millennium, which commits nonsense like the crazy remake of “The Prophecy” from 2006. The original film remains an undeniable classic even today, more than 30 years old. A diplomat receives news that his wife has given birth to a stillborn child and agrees to replace him with another baby without her learning the truth. From this disturbing beginning, the story maintains a hypnotic sobriety, displaying a compendium of visual resources that evoke more fear than any of the viscera that subsequently destroyed the genre.
