‘Us’
us. USA, 2019 (120 minutes). Director: Jordan Peele. Starring: Lupita Nyong’o, Winston Duke, Elisabeth Moss.
An exemplary work of terror that explores the figure of the phantasmagorical doppelganger to create a fable about a humanity lacking in solidarity and ready to devour itself. A marvel of rhythm that wraps its characters in a spiral of fear and shows a fractured society between them and us.

“The Time of Happiness”
Spain, 1997 (106 minutes). Directed by Manuel Iborra. Performers: Verónica Forqué, Antonio Resines, Silvia Abascal, María Adánez.
After the bloody Altamont Festival of 1969, the deaths of Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix in 1970 symbolically marked the gloom of hippie dreams. Manuel Iborra looks back on the summer that preceded the death of the idols to tell, simply and with a few whispers, of a family vacation in paradise Ibiza. Her compelling portrayal of the characters approaches the intimate drama of a woman who is more self-sacrificing than happy and the desires of her daughters who are coming of age, even if they don’t know it yet, to create an emotional story that inspires nostalgia and certain melancholy at its finest. Weapons.

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. United States, 2013 (160 minutes). Director: Peter Jackson. Cast: Martin Freeman, Ian McKellen, Richard Armitage.
The second part of the adaptation of Tolkien’s work carries the same sin as its predecessor: his obsession with gigantism.
