The gold rush below zero’
17.50, DMAX
The miners of The gold rush under Zero are starting a new season on DMAX.

‘Alien, the eighth passenger’
20.05, TCM
Alien. USA, 1979 (110 minutes). Director: Ridley Scott. Cast: Sigourney Weaver, Tom Skerritt, John Hurt, Veronica Cartwright.
Alien became an icon from the moment it was released. At the time, it revolutionised two genres, horror and science fiction, with the advantages of a memorable artistic direction, a powerful and meticulous staging and a decided commitment to suggestion (explicitness only comes in the final minutes). A suffocating spaceship, a remote planet and a terrible alien, of which a complete description is never shown, are the firm supports with which Ridley Scott played, in whom one could still believe as a director. A film that accumulates sensations to the limit, punctuated by murky explosions of panic.
‘Winter’s Tale’
22.00, Movistar Indie
Winter story. France, 1992 (115 minutes). Director: Eric Rohmer. Cast: Charlotte Véry, Frédérick van den Driessche, Michael Voletti.
The second of the four Tales of the Four Seasons, by the master Eric Rohmer, showed the filmmaker in all his creative splendor at 72 years old. While many young authors take refuge in the industry and comfort, the great director from Nancy remains an example of modernity, freshness and passion for cinema. Winter’s Tale approaches with all his affection the story of a love triangle whose male vertices fight to conquer the female, a young woman marked by the loss of an old romance. Thus, Rohmer creates a film in which the apparent simplicity that the master imprints on all his works shines and once again achieves the miracle of filming life itself.
‘Paper Moon’
22.00, Movistar Classics
Paper Moon. United States, 1973 (98 m.). Director: Peter Bogdanovich. Cast: Ryan O’Neal, Tatum O’Neal, Madeleine Kahn.
In the United States of the depression of the thirties, a father and his young daughter, luxury con artists, travel around the country determined to experience a melancholic song prepared by Peter Bogdanovich. Paper moon It is an endearing comedy that hides, behind its apparent farce, a first-rate nostalgic evocation. Little Tatum O’Neal made her debut and managed to steal a privileged place in the heart of any fan.
