‘fargo’
USA, 1995 (93 minutes). Directed by Joel Coen. Cast: Frances McDormand, William H. Macy, Steve Buscemi.
A prime example of the category of the inimitable Coen brothers, crafting a classic intrigue to combine tenderness and smut in a crime format. The Coens examine with depth and cruelty the life of a small North American community where passions beat and routine reigns supreme. A film that is as grandiose as it is risky, in which the magnetic Frances McDormand once again sets the stage. Too bad the Spanish dubbing turned his originally provincial accent into a supposedly funny babble.

“Elevator to the Scaffolding”
Elevator for l’échafaud. France, 1958 (88 minutes). Directed by Louis Malle. Cast: Jeanne Moreau, Maurice Ronet, Lino Ventura.
The great Louis Malle’s first film is a memorable work that updates the codes of film noir and designs a bitter and devastating criminal plot in which a woman and her lover murder her husband according to a detailed plan. However, you will find yourself caught in a spiral of unforeseen events, tense and angry, trapped in the streets of a desolate and icy Paris, photographed by the master Henri Decaë. Elevator to the Gallows is an absolute masterpiece, where formal sobriety gives way to a barrage of outrageous emotion, stirred by an unforgettable Miles Davis soundtrack.

“A Woman in the Rain”
Spain, 1991 (88 minutes). Directed by Gerardo Vera. Cast: Angela Molina, Antonio Banderas, Kiti Manver.
The great decorator and costume designer Gerardo Vera made his directorial debut with nothing short of a new version of Edgar Neville’s La vida en un hilo. And although somewhat irregular, Vera draws this portrait of a woman whose fate is marked by the choice between two men, with a firm hand and, above all, with courage. Supported by a solid screenplay by Manuel Hidalgo, the author displays more than remarkable expertise in the difficult field of dramatic comedy.

‘sully’
United States, 2016 (96 minutes). Director: Clint Eastwood. Cast: Tom Hanks, Aaron Eckhart, Laura Linney.
A remarkable biopic, spearheaded by a memorable work by Tom Hanks, recreating the events that took place in early 2009 when an Airbus 320 was forced to make a risky emergency landing. Sully turns to an accurate portrayal of characters carried by an impeccable dramatic pulse.

A look at the figure of Juana de Aizpuru
The documentary film Juana de Aizpuru, the instinct of art, which premieres today in the room of the Imprescindibles, approaches the character of one of the most important women of contemporary art in the world. His love of art has manifested itself in his work as a gallery owner in Seville and Madrid. Also in his promotion of initiatives like the ARCO fair 40 years ago, when Spain emerged from the Franco regime without any cultural institutions and without any connections to modernity.

“Saved” shows the reality of living with autism
In Spain there are around 500,000 children under the age of 16 with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The Salvados room approaches the reality where families live, hand in hand with two particular cases, those of Teo and Mario, recorded in 2019. The second’s mother is the president of the Navarre Autism Association, an autonomous community that provides more resources than the rest in therapy and help to families. Both cases demonstrate the lack of public therapies, insufficient resources for school inclusion and the need for adulthood solutions, both in terms of housing and work. And above all, the loneliness of families who feel institutionally abandoned.

“Value of the Right”
True grit. United States, 2010 (104 minutes). Directors: Joel and Ethan Coen. Cast: Jeff Bridges, Hailee Steinfeld, Josh Brolin, Matt Damon.
In the hands of the Coen brothers, the 1969 film directed by Henry Hathaway becomes a dark and gritty western. For their part, while Hathaway toyed with the mythical image of John Wayne, the Coens centered the plot on the expressive dryness of a deliberately taciturn Jeff Bridges.

The work of SEPRONA agents
The documentary series SEPRONA in action follows the missions of the Civil Guard’s Nature Conservation Service in its fight to defend Spain’s ecosystem. During their days, the agents encounter several cases involving public health risks, animal cruelty, grocers who don’t have their papers up to date, and other conflicts.

“Dear Pablo”
Spain, 2017 (123 minutes). Director: Fernando Leon de Aranoa. Starring: Javier Bardem, Penelope Cruz.
The great Fernando León approaches the character of drug dealer Pablo Escobar in a film dominated by the imposing presence of Javier Bardem, transformed into his character. A sober and precise story that plunges into the intimacy of evil, supported by images with classic looks and ardent intentions.

‘Artificial intelligence’
AI USA, 2001 (146 minutes). Directed by Steven Spielberg. Cast: Haley Joel Osment, Jude Law, Frances O’Connor.
Master Kubrick has matured the artificial intelligence project for many years. The underlying theme of all his works in the story is dark and oppressive: the inevitable loneliness of the individual, in this case that of a robot child who can feel love and pain. In 2001, it was Spielberg who brought him to the screen to accomplish one of his greatest works: during the first hour of footage, he recreates Kubrick’s visual style with amazing skill. Then he delivers a story that peers into the abyss of tragedy, a cruel and sordid futuristic tale that works as a metaphor for a directionless society as orphaned as the leading robot boy.

“The Big Feast”
La grande bouffe. France-Italy, 1973 (135 minutes). Directed by Marco Ferreri. Cast: Marcelo Mastroianni, Michel Piccoli, Ugo Tognazzi, Philippe Noiret.
Marco Ferreri plunges into a mixture of hedonism and despair. Together with Rafael Azcona and Francis Blanche, he is writing a screenplay that is as amazing as it is excessive to tell the adventures of four friends who abandon their everyday lives, lock themselves in a villa and literally eat themselves to death. For some it’s a rough film, for others it’s an excellent film that manages to completely abolish indifference and with which the author develops the sharpest criticism of the consumer society seen up to that point. Filled with harsh, provocative, profane and irreverent imagery, the film still makes us laugh at situations that are basically heartbreaking.
