Oscar nominated films on Cuban television – CubaDebate

The film addresses the issue of seniors and the problem & # XE1; policies that people face at this stage.

the film addresses the issue of the elderly and the problems faced by people at that stage.

One of the most interesting films of 2015 was without doubt Places (the giovinezza), the Italian Paolo Sorrentino, who on Friday is exhibited by the seventh gate (10:08 pm , Cubavisión). Its director is one of the most controversial men in contemporary cinema, spoiled by the Cannes Film Festival and harshly criticized by certain sectors of criticism, as is the case with the Spanish, who lives for his mannerism.

However, it was almost agreed the good reception of beautiful (the big beauty, 2013), you would get in his year the award for best foreign language film at the Oscars . Youth won the award for best European film, but the decision of the director, beyond the requirements of the plot, to shoot in English, did not give him the chance to compete again for an Oscar. Is this perhaps one of his problems, and one of the problems of contemporary cinema (especially European), which increasingly yield to the temptation to shoot in the American language, to extract more dividends distribution. But apart from these market problems, we have to admit that this is a masterpiece.

The beautiful , Sorrentino returns to seniors discursar on issues for which people are facing at this stage of life, preferably the artists, who is your favorite social group. The renowned composer Fred (Michael Caine), is vacationing at a hotel in the Alps with her daughter Lena (Rachel Weisz) and his friend Mick (Harvey Keitel), a film director who has difficulty finishing his latest film. They will parade the setbacks, disappointments and typical nostalgic evocations of the elderly. The moment where both witness to a beautiful model, completely naked, summarizes the idea of ​​the transience of beauty and can never possess. Rachel Weisz playing an insecure young itself a split Paul Dano impersonating Hitler and hysterical Jane Fonda intensifying the collapse of creative decline of Mick, are passages that dot and a constructed history seasoned flawlessly.

on the other hand, in the film Saturday (Saturday 10:35 pm, Cubavisión) opens unknown , a Spanish production of 2015 directed by Dani de la Torre and interpreted by the charismatic actor Luis Tosar. Carlos, banking executive, (Tosar) begins his routine morning bringing their children to school. When you start the car, you receive an anonymous call announcing you have a bomb under the seat and has only a few hours to gather a large amount of money; if it fails, your car will fly into the air. This triggers a cleverly assembled history (he won a Goya in this section), which continues the long journey of Spanish cinema in action movies. Luis Tosar, often brilliant in his acting career, provides the adrenaline rush you need these kinds of stories. Interestingly, the film is dedicated to Toni Scott, brother of Ridley Scott, because the director Dani Torre debtor his frantic film, always pushed to the limit confesses.

Meanwhile, Seven Arts (Sunday 2:00 pm, Cubavisión) continues releasing films that have been released to the oscar race, coming to deliver on February 18. He had already exhibited Martian (The Martian), Ridley Scott, and now has Brooklyn John Crowley, both facing in the Best Picture award. Brooklyn is facing an interesting epochal reconstruction, when a young Irish emigrated to America in the fifties. The film proposes a controversial thesis, because with the United States a country that has always encouraged its “American Dream” with migrants succeed or economic way into a place of ample opportunities here Lacey Ellis, the young protagonist, must to return to his hometown because of a family event, there looms a possible future for themselves, thanks to the encounter with an old flame. Controversial thesis, which postulates confrontation lines to overdrawn migration in the country, rejected by several candidates for president in the next term. This is an English production, based on the latest novel by Colm Tóibín, but that being positioned in the flat Primara of overly publicized Oscars, over other favorites such as The girl Danish (The Danish Girl), of Tom Hooper and the suffragettes (Suffragette) Sarah Gavron, multiply the interest in a visible area within the new national policy.

somehow (Thu 9:30 pm, educational Channel 2), space for the Cuban film of all time, will recover Madrigal (2007), one of the most disturbing films Fernando Perez. This is a game of mirrors between film, fiction characters, real life, the very film director and glimpses of a future incident evoked from a story of the protagonist. complex film, but perfectly integrated into the work of the director and with great powers of communication with the Cuban audience, your target audience.

On Sunday celluloid icons (Multivision), opens 45 years (45 Years) of fellow Briton Andrew Haigh and has been one of the most acclaimed films of 2015. with exciting performances of Charlotte Rampling and Tom Courtenay, awarded at the last Berlin film festival and also competing for oscar, in the case of Rampling, is a film that is based on dialogue and mourning actions of these two stars. Ambiguous and intense, the film becomes as Events , to the problems of the elderly.

In view of this year’s Oscars, it appears that the small screen Cuba wanted to search for a tune today. Seeing the bright side, the Cuban audience will judge the controversial awards since the experience of having seen some of the films. While the critical side is privileged and does not lend the opportunity to fatten superficiality and worship a prize too questionable, full of glitter and spectacle, shares as a laudable effort
