Antena 3 premieres a new fiction project, the series Between lands. Channel 1 also offers a premiere, the gastronomic contest Bake Off: celebrities baked. On La 2, space returns The flux capacitor with a new focus on science. Two classic films also add lustre to the film festival, Spartacus, by Stanley Kubrick, and The wages of fear, by Henri-Georges Clouzot.
‘Spartacus’
17.10, Be Mad
Spartacus. USA, 1960 (180 minutes). Director: Stanley Kubrick. Cast: Kirk Douglas, Laurence Olivier, Jean Simmons, Charles Laughton, Tony Curtis.
The search for utopia beats in the images of Spartacus thanks to the magic of Stanley Kubrick, who made the most human film of his career in this memorable portrait of the leader in the fight against slavery. A good part of the weight of the work also falls on an exemplary script by Dalton Trumbo, which was rescued by the producer and actor Kirk Douglas from the execrable blacklist caused by McCarthyism. A spectacular fresco, applicable, in fact, to all eras.
‘The wages of fear’
19.20, Movistar Classics
The wages of fear. France, 1953 (140 minutes) Director: Henri-Georges Clouzot. Cast: Yves Montand, Charles Vanel.
A true classic that follows four men who drive two trucks loaded with nitroglycerin through the jungle. The Dantesque journey will reveal their condition as outcasts who live according to their rules. A committed and feverish work, with images as wild as they are captivating.
‘The Flux Capacitor’ Returns
22.00, La 2
The fourth season of The flux capacitor comes with new sections and collaborators. Raquel Martos leads this new event with the scientific programme on La 2 which, among other novelties, will go outside Spain for the first time to discover the incredible city of Pompeii. It will also include an episode in which she will receive a visit from the team of Laika Orbit to tell together the fascinating story behind the greatest scientific milestones. This new season will also address topics such as the most powerful families in history, the trajectory of the LGTBIQ+ community, the confines of the cosmos, urban planning or the history of migrations. In this first episode, the programme will recall historic battles such as Trafalgar or the fall of Constantinople.
Premiere of the series ‘Between Lands’
22.45, Antena 3
Antena 3’s new fiction bet, Between lands, is an emotional drama set in rural Spain in the 1960s. Megan Montaner, Unax Ugalde and Juanjo Puigcorbé, among others, star in this 10-episode production that follows a humble young Andalusian woman who is forced to marry a landowner from La Mancha in exchange for him ensuring the economic well-being of her family.
