Spring

The hibernation is over!! Explota primavera!!

Love and loss

For some, Tom Ford's directing debut, A single man, is little more than a long and boring cologne commercial. In my opinion is a stylish intimate film with a delicious use of colour and music and great performances. I found it delicate and moving.

The man who saw the beauty of colour

Whenever I go to the Victoria Miro Gallery I am late so I really needed to run because it was the last day of the exhibition William Eggleston: 21 st Century.

Fortunately I managed to arrive on time to see these fascinating prints, images of ordinary and mundane subjects that under his gaze are endowed with powerful significance.

Se nos fué

Luisa, la más dicharachera.

"En la intuición del amanecer se condensaba toda la intensidad de aquella noche inquieta, como en esas despedidas en las que una persona nos sonríe por ultima vez, preparada para convertirse en un recuerdo."

Para amantes y ladrones Pedro Zarraluki

A Prophet

This tough, gripping French prison thriller combines a Goodfellas–­like scope with gritty, contemporary realism, as a young Arab inmate learns to survive and then trive, on the inside and outside.

Clever and classy

Mad Men returns to UK screens. Season 3 starts tomorrow in BBC 2.
I can't wait!!!

Still Walking

Acabo Enero con una pelicula muy Japonesa.
La familia se reune y, entre comidas y mas comidas, van surgiendo los resentimientos, iras y reproches aunque se tiran los trastos de forma bastante ordenada y contenida, de acuerdo a las convenciones de cortesia y respeto tan importantes en su cultura.

Frozen Britain

The entire island of Great Britain is covered with snow. Brrrr!!!

Stranted passenger

No es la pimera vez que por una razon u otra me he quedado tirada en alguna parte del mundo pero desconocia el termino ingles. Seguro que ya no se me olvida, como recordare siempre la terrible noche de Reyes en que Ryanair, despues de desviar el vuelo por inclemencias climaticas, aterrizo en Bournemouth y.... busquense la vida señoras y señores! Unforgettable.

The White Ribbon

As always happens with Haneke I leave the cinema baffled. I've found this sober black and white film quite disturbing because its repulsive cruelty but also fascinating.
