Channel 2 dedicates the night to the Goya Awards ceremony that takes place tomorrow and fills its programs with references to the awards Attention, works, Movie Days and General plane. On La 1, the magnificent film by Benito Zambrano will be present Outdoor. In addition, two other films adorn the day, an immortal work like The African Queen and a great critique of the media by Robert Redford, Quiz Show.
‘Quiz show (The dilemma)’
17.40, TCM
USA, 1994 (128 minutes). Director: Robert Redford. Cast: Rob Morrow, John Turturro, Ralph Fiennes.
Robert Redford’s fourth film as a director was another surprise. With plenty of resources, the author creates a fierce diatribe against the power of television, using the scandal that was a case of fraud in the most popular television contest in the United States in the fifties. With a sober and unobtrusive visual packaging, and supported by a tightly constructed script and first-class acting (led by the Doctor in Alaska Rob Morrow), Redford offers a rebellious and committed film, which burns beneath its icy appearance.
A night of preparation for the Goyas
2, 20.00
Channel 2 dedicates the evening to broadcasting several programs around the Goya Awards ceremony that takes place tomorrow. At 8:00 p.m., Attention, works will interview Hovik Keuchkerian, who is nominated for the best actor award for the film One Love and will offer a report on the candidates for best original song with Xoel López, Juanma Latorre and Guille Galván. For its part, Days of cinema (20.30) will include a review of all the applications (20.30). Next, General plane (21.25) will have as a guest the filmmaker Pablo Berger, author of the film Robot Dreams, which, in addition to the Goyas, will be present at the Oscars in the category of animated film. Finally, at 0.55 the documentary will be broadcast Juan Mariné, between light and shadow, as a tribute to the man who will be awarded the Honorary Goya
‘The African Queen’
22.00, Movistar Classics
African Queen. USA, 1952 (100 min). Director: John Huston. Int.: Humphrey Bogart, Katharine Hepburn.
John Huston approaches two characters who travel on board a small steamboat. They are two opposite beings who, thanks to their coexistence, find different bonds that will lead to an emotional love story. John Huston’s gaze shakes and caresses them in equal parts in a work of impeccable dramatic progression. Amongst all this, two icons like Hepburn and Bogart sweep the screen.
Fifth gala of ‘The Challenge’
22.00, Antena 3
The contest The challenge continues to insist on putting his participants in a difficult position, even though he does so using humour as his weapon. Tonight, the challenges will continue. Among other challenges, Adrián Lastra will face the most famous test of the programme, apnea. Mónica Cruz will have to face the ‘4D Challenge’, Pepe Navarro will face ‘The Impossible Target’ and Pablo Castellano will face the ‘Extreme Reverse’.
‘Outdoor’
23.45, La 1
Spain, 2019 (103 minutes). Director: Benito Zambrano. Cast: Luis Tosar, Luis Callejo, Jaime López.
An immense plain, scorched by the sun, a child being chased and a man who protects him are the simple elements that Benito Zambrano uses to create a powerful and feverish work, which combines western, road movie and social drama. A work of fierce dramatic depth that calls for the honor of the underprivileged.
