‘I, Daniel Blake
20.00, Movistar Indie
I, Daniel Blake. United Kingdom, 2016 (100 minutes). Director: Kean Loach. Cast: Dave Johns, Hayley Squires, Sharon Percy.
The great Ken Loach won his second Palme d’Or at Cannes, after the memorable one The wind that shakes the barley, with this urban drama as precise as it is emotional, which captures the life of a carpenter cursed by a heart attack and faced with the bureaucracy that prevents him from accessing a social benefit. Loach delivers a love song to the underprivileged, a bitter social portrait and an urgent call for solidarity. An essential film that shows that dignity can be born from a simple graffiti: “My name is Daniel Blake and I am a human being.”

‘Breeding ravens’
22.00, TCM
Spain, 1975 (102 minutes). Director: Carlos Saura. Cast: Geraldine Chaplin, Ana Torrent, German Cobos, Monica Randall.
The Spanish cinema of the seventies has as an unavoidable reference the figure of Carlos Saura. However, his films remain hidden and forgotten today for many fans. One of the author’s greatest works is Breeding ravens: His images, rich in double readings, are immersed in a personal microcosm to create a portrait of childhood in which cruelty and helplessness go hand in hand, thanks to a character who remembers his oppressive childhood, in which dreams of escape would later become failures. Saura, who signed a script alone for the first time, mixes past and present, dream and reality in the story, in an essential film that culminates the path begun six years earlier with The Garden of Earthly Delights.
