“Cañas y barro”, a TV classic
The Palomas are a family of fishermen who were forced by economic difficulties to become rice farmers. The social changes in Spain in the late 19th and early 20th centuries will shape the relationships they have with each other and with the rest of the community. Cañas y barro, based on the last of Vicente Blasco Ibáñez’s so-called Valencian novels, was one of the biggest hits on the small screen of the transition. The Spanish television mini-series, filmed in El Palmar and the Valencian Albufera, featured a luxury cast that included Manuel Tejada, Alfredo Mayo, José Bódalo, Luis Suárez and a very young Victoria Vera at the time.

If the first part was a success, this second one managed to surpass it. Now the engine of the story is not revenge, but the struggle for survival in a world devastated by World War III, where fuel takes on a transcendent meaning. Less violent than its predecessor and much more spectacular.

United States, 2008 (110 minutes). Director: Howard McCain. Cast: Jim Caviezel, Sophia Myles, Ron Pearlman, John Hurt.
Time travel, vikings, monsters, fierce warriors and heroes come together in this entertaining fantasy tale professionally directed by newcomer Howard McCain and starring Jim Caviezel, who repeats the tortured face that characterizes almost all of his works (e.g. The Passion and the Person of Interest series). Too bad its script, a fusion of influences from other films in the genre, from Alien to The 13th Warrior, leading through Beowulf, is too confusing. The best, its landscapes and the work of John Hurt.
