The cinema arrives today with three essential films, a classic like Birds, Hitchcock’s first film, Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs, and Coppola’s rise as a prestigious director, The Godfather. In addition, La 1 is broadcasting three episodes of its new adventure series, Fox, and La Sexta offers the usual appointment with The thing about Évole, this time with an interview with Ana Belén.
Ana Belén, in ‘The Évole’
21.25, La Sexta
Tonight, Jordi Évole will interview Ana Belén in the episode of his programme, in which the artist reviews her career a few days before presenting the Goya Awards gala with Los Javis. Menorca is the setting chosen for the conversation, a place that has become Ana Belén’s intimate refuge. The conversation will include a review of current political events and the Me Too in Spanish cinema.
‘The Godfather’
22.00, Movistar Classics
The Godfather. USA, 1972 (175 minutes). Director: Francis Ford Coppola. Starring: Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Robert Duvall.
Coppola was 33 years old when he directed The Godfather. He was a relatively new filmmaker who, against all odds, put together a monumental film, an example of gangster cinema and a splendid introspective portrait that became a lucid x-ray of the human being, his ambitions, cruelties and particular codes of honor. Its success allowed Coppola to later film The Godfather II, Apocalypse Now and many other masterpieces.
Triple installment of ‘Zorro’
22.00, La 1
The new adventure series on TVE returns tonight with a triple episode. Among other adventures, the hero faces an open war against the Governor and must also deal with the auction for Ramírez’s lands, which seems to have a previously agreed winner, the Russian-American company. After trying to make sure that Andreyévich does not arrive at the auction, Diego receives a visit from the Bear Clan.
‘Birds’
23.35, TCM
The Birds. USA, 1963 (118 minutes). Director: Alfred Hitchcock. Starring: Tippi Hedren, Rod Taylor.
A cruel combination of psychoanalysis and terror with which Hitchcock once again explores the fragility of everyday life. The master torments his characters with the fantastic attack of crazed birds, but also with more earthly terrors that take the form of possessive mothers and unconfessed loves.
‘Reservoir Dogs’
0.25, XTRM
USA, 1992 (100 minutes). Director: Quentin Tarantino. Cast: Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Steve Buscemi, Michael Madsen, Chris Penn.
Little did Tarantino imagine that his first film would serve to establish him as a reference in the cinema of the nineties. Reservoir Dogs He pulverized the cinema screens thanks to an irreverent and furious look that creates a plot as tense as it is aggressive that seems created by an acrobat. Tarantino, brimming with cinematic vitality, interweaves the adventures of several characters, united to rob a bank in a robbery that the spectator will never see; he will only witness its consequences.
