“The Holy Innocents”

3 p.m., TCM

The Holy Innocents, by Mario Camus

Spain, 1983 (103 minutes). Director: Mario Camus. Artists: Francisco Rabal, Alfredo Landa, Terele Pávez, Agustín González, Juan Diego.

“The Holy Innocents” is to date the best film from Mario Camus, an often underrated director despite being the author of such relevant works as “Days of Past” and “The Color of Clouds”. In this superb adaptation of Delibes's novel, he paints a horrific portrait of deep 1960s Spain from a perspective as sober as it is incisive. The story is complemented by the monumental Landa-Rabal pairing, awarded at Cannes, and by Juan Diego, who offers a work of overwhelming perfection.

“Aunt Tula”

6.40 p.m., Spanish cinema Movistar

Aunt Tula, by Miguel Picazo

Spain, 1964 (102 minutes). Director: Miguel Picazo. Cast: Aurora Bautista, Carlos Estrada, Irene Gutiérrez Caba, Enriqueta Carballeira.

Since his memorable debut in 1964 with this adaptation of Unamuno's novel of the same name, Miguel Picazo has made only four more films. Another example of the industry's mistreatment of some of Spain's best filmmakers. From her life of more than 50 years, Aunt Tula still offers lessons in modernity, supported by an impeccable formal solidity that adds drama to every image. Also by an Aurora Bautista, who literally embodies her suffering character. A major highlight of national cinema.

Although 100% electric vehicles already account for 14% of sales in the European Union, the previously strong automotive sector has not stepped on the electric transformation accelerator like other competitors.
