Postcards from Cadaqués

By Philipp Engel

A decade ago, Milena Busquets broke into the literary world with an editorial phenomenon that must be studying in all editing masters: although her biographical coordinates explain the extra-literary interest that she could raise at the local level, more complex it is decipher to translate more than 30 languages, where being daughter of Esther Tusquets does not imply being automatically implies being automatically implies being automatically implies in the focus. Perhaps, simply, that concise duel story had universal reach because, without being Joan Didion, thanks to his disapproved honesty and lack of melodramatism, he welcomed anyone who had passed by with open arms. That is, everyone.

It would be much more surprising if the movie had a similar tour. It is likely that readers receive it with the same complementary enthusiasm as another audiobook. On the aesthetic plane, it is as if the summer announcement of the well -known beer brand had proposed to sell me melancholy, watered with “Nonchalannce”, instead of “Joie de Vivre”. Life, in short, through Instagram. If you have something from home in Flames it is because, according to the anecdote, it was filmed in the same Canet villa. But if Dani’s of the Order aspires to vitriica satire, it bathes in self -complacency; If the first works with a runaway swell, with a blow of outbursts, Ripoll’s storm is played under water, as a drowned cry, under an sea in apparent calm.

The film thus takes with a curious monochord tone, without major complications, nor especially gratifying moments, and has its strengths in the cast, starting with Marina Salas, which perfectly embodies that eternal adolescent post that seems to react to the duel via hormonal explosion, and following with Susi Sánchez, no less suitable for the role of the editor Fermí Reixach. From the rest of the cast it could be said that they do very well as the classic pijos of the Costa Brava, that social species, heiress of the Gauche Divine, which is distinguished by knowing in depth the mysteries of the tedium and the void, a cruelly vetoed wisdom to the rest of the mortals.

Extravagant stories

By Jordi Batlle Caminal

The Sevillian Santi Amodeo, whose cinema treasures a constant vocation of risk even by addressing commercial comedy at the service of a multi -star cast (“Who killed Bambi?”), Is the author of such esteemed and stimulating titles as “The Pilgrim factor” (four -handed cooking, in London, with Alberto Rodríguez), “Astronautas” clichés and common places), “dog head” (where he flirted with magical realism) or “the Gentiles” (brave portrait of contemporary teenage anguish).

The sky of animalsThe new amodeo challenge has literary origin: the homonymous book by the American writer David James Poissant. These are three independent stories, rather extravagant, all marked by strangeness (everything seems real and, at the same time, unreal, when not surreal) and a pinch of irony. The first, entitled “The swimmer” and has an epilogue after the third, is the most emotional. He describes the relationship between a newly separated man from his partner and a woman with orthopedic arm, two moving creatures and two memorable creations of Raúl Arévalo and Paula Díaz. The end of Darío It is about apocalyptic paranoia and, although funny, it is the weakest episode.

Under the suggestive and tourneurian title of The lizard manThe story played by Manolo Solo and Jesús Carroza, a well tuned and funny couple, has a peculiar fascination: after traveling at night rather spooky areas, the protagonists arrive at a house that oozes some fantastic, gloomy atmospheres, which undoubtedly Val Lewton would have approved. And there a surprising finding takes place, which we will silence so as not to spoil the party to the future spectator; A finding that leads the story to a beautiful outcome and pulling disconcerting, impeccably filmed. Then we return to Arévalo and Díaz in the epilogue entitled “How to help die to your loved one.”

A fifth Portuguese (★★★★ ✩)

Production: Spain, 2025. 114 m. Drama

Less bad than fall Portugal

By Salvador Llopart

It is not a thriller, no. But breathe mystery. Nor is it a comedy although some smile starts you. The dominant note is melancholy. A man returns home to discover that his wife has abandoned him and he decides, in turn, to go out in search of the unexpected. A Fifth Portuguese is a quiet, civilized enigma, with airs of Maestro Oliveira and a disrupted reality, to Cortázar. The important thing is those endearing characters that, little by little, are conquering you. Moving

Presumption of innocence (★★★ ✩✩)
Address: Daniel Auteuil
Intérpretes: Daniel Auteuil, Grégory Gadebois, Sidse Babett Knudsen

The whole truth

By P. Engel

After A silenceDe Lafosse, where he already served as a tormented lawyer, Auteuil authegalas another role of decadent magistrate, who now defends a man accused of killing his wife (Grégory Gadebois, shortly of a cure in a good father). A judicial drama that does not sin original, based on the interpretations and the blog of a lawyer, which slides us through that slow and viscous slope in which the doubts and sordid details show us the face of the accused under a changing light until the end.

Enemies (★★ ✩✩✩)
Address: David Valero
Interpreters: Christian Czech, Hugo Welzel
Production: Spain, 2025 (103 minutes). Drama

Between hate and forgiveness

By J. Batle

An Aleccuador story about the noble gesture of knowing how to forgive: the protagonist adolescent, cruelly harassed day after day by a detestable partner, will end up creating friendship ties with him following a fortuitous incident. It is effective and plausible, in addition to restlessness, the neighborhood portrait offered by David Valero, but not so much history, much less its forced redeeming outcome. The best, the vigorous “pressing catch” between Christian Checa and Hugo Welzel.

The arrival of the child (★★★ ✩✩)
Address: Cecilia Atán, Valeria Pivato
Interpreters: Maricel Álvarez, Greta Fernández, Cristina Banegas
Production: Argentina, 2024. 87 m. Drama.

We have to talk …

By S.

Atmospheres and nature film would fragment. The story is gaining sharpness as tragedy is evidenced. The son leaves prison; The mother receives it with love but also with suspicion: too many out of response. Bad mother? Bad son? We know, without knowing that we are talking about a specific social class, their damages and their secrets. As in the puzzles, everything makes sense at the end. With the last piece. When the painful darkness disappears and the drama lights up with its own light.

Lost lands (★★ ✩✩✩)
Address: Paul WS Anderson
Interpreters: Milla Jovovich, Dave Bautista
Production: Germany-Canadá-EE.U., 2025 (101 minutes). Fantastic

Paul and mile: stainless

By J. Batle

Mohood collaboration between Anderson and Jovovich, proposes a cataract of postpocalyptic adventures with a spirit spirit, a production design that evokes a dark and dark world and thirty thousand echoes in each image, of the epic of Mad Max to the “Spaghetti Western”: Baptist’s blush in his first scene is pure Clint Eastwood. The film certifies that Anderson is still faithful to his visual style. Insubstantial, but with brilliant moments: the train scene, the bus-thetepheric …
