“The Year of Lights”
Spain, 1986 (104 minutes). Directed by Fernando Trueba. Interpreters: Jorge Sanz, Maribel Verdú, Manuel Alexandre.
Fernando Trueba’s fifth film strayed from the intentions of his previous two hits, Sal gorda and Be Unfaithful and Look No To Whom, to enter more intimate realms and infuse his images with remarkable tenderness. The Year of Enlightenment is an intense portrait of the youthful universe, with warm intentions, supported by a screenplay by Rafael Azcona and Trueba himself, which places the plot in the post-war period but with the aim of avoiding clichéd views. Trueba approaches his leading partner with precise tenderness, gradually letting a bitter residue take over the story. In this way, he manages to make a film that is as simple as it is emotional.

‘The punch’
The thorn. USA, 1973 (115 minutes). Directed by George Roy Hill. Cast: Paul Newman, Robert Redford, Robert Shaw.
George Roy Hill reunited Newman and Redford four years after the legendary Two Men and One Destiny to turn them into two high-ranking impostors. Some of El Coup’s interesting strengths include a juicy script that amasses twists and turns that jar the story, and a retro aesthetic that American cinema took on in its major productions of the early 1970s. Roy Hill delivers a staging of apparent transparency that skilfully plays with image detail and depth of field.

‘Melancholy’
Melancholy. Denmark, 2011 (136 minutes). Directed by Lars von Trier. Cast: Kirsten Dunst. Charlotte Gainsbourg.
The planet Melancholy is headed for a collision with Earth where, according to one of the characters in this Lars von Trier summit, “life has been perverted.” Two years after Trier made women a devastating weapon in Antichrist, she draws a double portrait of women, that of a suffering bipolar young woman and her selfless sister, circling the earth like melancholy. There are many who brand Trier as misogynistic, but it should not be forgotten that the sufferings of its female protagonists are caused by male evil (Breaking the Waves and Dancing in the Dark) or mask their status as avenging angels (Dogville). On the other hand, just watching the action of Kiefer Sutherland’s petty character in Melancholy is enough to gauge which side the filmmaker is on. Trier delivers a film of outrageous plastic beauty, of moving emotion, in which she shows the insignificance of social conventions in the face of cosmic grandeur and turns her female characters into symbols of purity in a world without sensitivity and love.

“The Maze of the Pan”
Spain-Mexico, 2006 (112 minutes). Directed by Guillermo del Toro. Starring: Sergi Lopez, Maribel Verdu, Ivana Baquero.
After the surprising tone of a phantasmagorical Western adopted by The Devil’s Backbone, Guillermo del Toro once again approaches the heart of the civil war. Pan’s Labyrinth travels to rural Spain in 1944 to tell a wicked tale that revolves around a girl faced with horrors real and imagined: a mysterious faun found in some ruins and a heartless and hideous captain who is known as the paradigm of evil applies. In this way, fantasy and reality go hand in hand in a visual feast that unravels both social keys and dream havens.
