Ya está en salas una de las películas españolas llamadas a marcar un antes y un después. En este capítulo de Estamos de Cine nos hemos propuesto poner en valor la calidad de "Sirat: Trance en el desierto" y lo hacemos hablando con su director, el talentoso y diferencial Oliver Laxe. El creador de la aclamada "O que arde" se puede convertir en el cineasta del año con esta propuesta impactante que ya ha cosechado una cascada de elogios entre los expertos. MIN 4: SIRAT: TRANCE EN EL DESIERTO (5 estrellas) Premio del Jurado en Cannes 2025, Sirat se presenta como un “road-movie apocalíptica” que fusiona drama familiar, trance rave y exploración existencial. La trama sigue los pasos de Luis (Serg iLópez) y su hijo Esteban (Bruno Núñez) internándose en una fiesta clandestina en el sur de Marruecos para buscar a Mar, la hija y hermana desaparecida meses atrás. Esta búsqueda les permite hermanarse con una a suerte de comunidad Esta búsqueda los affinila a una “troupe de nómadas del sonido” y los introduce en una travesía cada vez más brutal física y emocionalmente de nómadas del sonido electrónico y los introduce en una travesía cada vez más brutal en el plano físico y en el emocional. Min 10: ENTREVISTA AL DIRECTOR OLIVER LAXE El directo de Estamos de Cine, Roberto Lancha, mantiene una entrevista en profundidad con el director gallego, que nos cuenta las intenciones de su propuesta y de la dimensión y la espiritualidad con la que ha querido sacar al espectador de su zona de confort. Laxe no es nuevo en Cannes: ya había sido reconocido en 2010 (Todos vós sodes capitáns), 2016 (Mimosas) y 2019 (O que arde), siendo, de hecho, uno de los escasos cineastas españoles con premios en distintas ediciones. Este hijo de emigrantes gallegos vive hoy en una aldea de Navia de Suarna. Su cine se nutre de esa identidad: lo rural, el silencio, el paisaje de los Ancares. Gracias a "O que arde", este cineasta captó la atención de El Deseo y de los hermanos Almodóvar que, junto a Esther García, le han apoyado sin fisuras para intentar llevar a "Sirat" lo más alto posible. NOTA EDC: 5 estrellas Min 30: LA BUENA SUERTE El nuevo largometraje de la directora española Gracia Querejeta sigue al personaje de Pablo (Hugo?Silva), un arquitecto con éxito, que decide bajarse del tren en un pueblo perdido y compra un piso de forma impulsiva. Lo hace para dejar atrás un pasado oscuro y también para huir de sí mismo . Allí conoce a Raluca (Megan?Montaner), una vecina optimista que cree firmemente en la "buena suerte" pese a su entorno gris. NOTA EDC: 3 estrellas Min 35: BALLERINA: DEL UNIVERSO JOHN WICK "Ballerina", el taquillazo cantado de la semana, se sitúa entre John Wick: Chapter 3 y Chapter 4, y sigue a Eve Macarro (Ana?de?Armas), una exniña huérfana cuyo padre fue asesinado. Criada por la organización Ruska?Roma en una academia donde el ballet y el asesinato se mezclan, Eve se convierte en una letal ejecutora que busca venganza y redención. NOTA EDC: 3,5 estrellas Min 42: LA CASA AL FINAL DE LA CURVA La casa al final de la curva, dirigida por Jason Buxton y protagonizada por Ben Foster y Cobie Smulders, es un thriller psicológico que llega a los cines este fin de semana. La historia sigue a un padre de familia que, tras presenciar un accidente frente a su casa, se obsesiona con salvar a desconocidos, entrando en una espiral de angustia, culpa y necesidad de redención. Con pocos personajes y mucha tensión, la película plantea hasta qué punto el deseo de ayudar puede volverse oscuro. Una propuesta inquietante, contenida y emocional que muestra a un Ben Foster sobresaliente en uno de sus papeles más turbadores. NOTA EDC: 3,5 estrellas Min 45. MADS MadS, dirigida por David Moreau y protagonizada por Milton Riche, Laurie Pavy y Lucille Guillaume, es un trepidante thriller de terror rodado en un único plano secuencia que sigue a Romain, un joven que, tras probar una droga sintética, recoge a una mujer herida en la carretera y se sumerge en una noche de pesadilla donde no sabe si lo que vive es un mal viaje o un brote viral de zombis; una experiencia claustrofóbica, sin respiro, que combina adrenalina pura con una atmósfera de terror visceral. NOTA EDC: 2,5 estrellas Min 47: THE RITUAL The Ritual, dirigida por David Midell y protagonizada por Al Pacino, Dan Stevens y Abigail Cowen, narra un impactante exorcismo basado en hechos reales: dos sacerdotes, uno veterano y otro joven, se unen para liberar a Emma, una joven poseída, en un ritual que mezcla fe, duda y horror. Pacino ofrece un personaje carismático con un particular acento alemán, Stevens aporta humanidad desde la incertidumbre, y Cowen encarna con fuerza el tormento de la posesión. Con tensión bien manejada y sin alardes visuales, la película busca emocionar más que asustar, aun cuando algunos críticos señalaban que su guion cae en clichés. NOTA EDC: 2 estrellas Min 50: LA PELÍCULA DE TU VIDA, CON OLIVER LAXE El director del momento y protagonista de este capítulo es el encargado de remover sus recuerdos y su formación cinéfila para desvelarnos que la película de su vida es "Andrei Rublev", la magna epopeya de 1966 dirigida por Andrei Tarkovsky, es un viaje visual y espiritual que retrata la vida y tribulación del monje y pintor de íconos rusos del siglo XV. Compuesta en ocho episodios, la película es menos una biografía tradicional que una meditación poética sobre el arte, la fe y el peso de la historia. Min 53: DESPEDIDA PINCELADA BSO SIRAT Despedimos programa escuchando dos de los temas más significativos de la BSO de "Sirat", compuesta por el músico francés Kangding Ray (David Letellier) y que se ha convertido en un pilar central del film, encapsulando la atmósfera trance y ritual del desierto marroquí: inicia con un beat tribal y enfadado, evoluciona hacia texturas más metafísicas y envolventes, y resuena en Dolby Atmos con golpes sónicos capaces de hacer vibrar la sala, otorgándole una dimensión casi espiritual al ritmo narrativo cadenaser.c Su relevancia ha sido reconocida en Cannes con el Premio Soundtrack, convirtiéndola en el corazón sónico que acompaña y eleva cada escena del viaje interior que propone Oliver Laxe.

The Ritual portrays exorcism accurately, but is stuck in genre cliches

The new exorcism film The Ritual, starring Al Pacino and Dan Stevens, is based on the famous 1928 exorcism of Emma Schmidt, which also partially inspired The Exorcist. The Ritual is touted as more realistic and meticulously researched than most exorcism films, and it does seem to portray the rite of exorcism accurately (as the title indicates, most of the film is focused on the ritual itself). The film avoids many of the worst pitfalls of exorcism movies, such as fascination with the glamor of evil, sadism, etc. It is a Catholic-approvable treatment of the subject in that it avoids theological error, the liturgy is accurate, and God is clearly shown to be more powerful than demons. However, the film is still sensationalistic, not because its extraordinary demonic manifestations are fabricated, but because they are excessively centered at the expense of more interesting and edifying aspects of the real-life case. Those details which would have made the treatment unique and thought-provoking are too often filed down to fit the genre's cliches or to avoid alienating a non-Catholic audience. The Ritual will be in theaters starting June 6.

E proprio per restare nell'atmosfera magica della Croisette apriamo con un film che da lì rimbalza nei cinema italiani. Si tratta di "La Trama fenicia" diretto da Wes Anderson, con Benicio Del Toro, Mia Threapleton e Michael Cera, che come al solito ha diviso la critica in favorevoli e contrari. Per ricreare questo ring in studio abbiamo coinvolto i colleghi Ilaria Feole e Filippo Mazzarella di Film Tv.Con il nostro Boris Sollazzo parliamo di due film bellissimi come "Scomode verità" diretto da Mike Leigh, con Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Michele Austin e David Webber e "L'ultima regina - Firebrand" diretto da Karim Aïnouz, con Alicia Vikander, Jude Law e Eddie Marsan.Il regista Guido Chiesa torna alla regia qualche mese dopo il successo di “Trenta notti con il mio ex” con un film molto impegnato sulle radici dello Stato di Israele "Per amore di una donna" con Marc Rissmann, Ana Ularu e Alban Uka.Emanuele di Nicola, esperto di horror e redattore della rivista di settore “Nocturno” ci racconta "L'esorcismo di Emma Smith", horror di David Midell con Al Pacino e Dan Stevens.

Netflix's latest political thriller, “Zero Day,” is a chilling deep dive into cyber warfare, misinformation, and the terrifying power of perception. Led by Robert De Niro in his first television series, the six-episode event follows former president George Mullen as he's reluctantly pulled back into the political fray to investigate a devastating cyberattack. But as the layers of the crisis unravel, so do the hidden forces manipulating the narrative, turning Mullen into both a hero and a pawn. The series, co-created by Noah Oppenheim, Eric Newman, and Michael Schmidt, features a stellar cast including Jesse Plemons, Lizzy Caplan, Connie Britton, Joan Allen, Dan Stevens, Gaby Hoffmann, Matthew Modine, and Angela Bassett.Director Lesli Linka Glatter helms all six episodes, bringing her experience from “Homeland” and “Love & Death” to craft a nail-biting, visually rich thriller that feels eerily prescient. She joined Bingeworthy to chat about what drew her to the project, collaborating with De Niro, and why truth itself is a weapon in today's world.

#040 – Did Dickens "Invent" Christmas? - with Kristen Hanley Cardozo

Hard to Believe

The 2017 film The Man Who Invented Christmas, starring human treasure Dan Stevens as Charles Dickens, is a lovely bit of an anachronistic historical revisionism (though, to be fair, it gets a number of things right both in fact and in, pardon the pun, spirit). But it also perpetuates an increasingly popular myth - that Charles Dickens...well...invented Christmas. At least, that is, Christmas as we think of it today. There are a lot of reasons why this seems true, and, yes, Dicken's A Christmas Carol played an enormous role in a Victorian revival and redefining of Christmas - but that revival was happening with him or without him. So we decided to take a closer look at Victorian society in the 1940s and exam how religious - or not - Dickens and A Christmas Carol actually were. Kelly and John invited Victorianist Kristen Hanley Cardozo to share some of her expertise and talk about spirits, Scrooges, and the real reasons for the season.

  What is this Movie? After the death of her mother, 17-year-old Gretchen moves from America to the German Alps with her father Luis, stepmother Beth, and mute half-sister Alma.  Gretchen isn't very thrilled at her current situation feeling like the 3rd wheel in her new family, butting heads with her stepmother, harboring jealousy towards her younger half-sister, and feeling ignored and resented by her own father.  She's offered a job by the local hotel manager Herr Konig, where things start to get a bit loopy.  Half-dressed women randomly showing up in the hotel lobby drinking sprite and vomiting, a beady, red-eyed hooded woman chasing her through the night dressed like she fell out of a Hitchcock film, and Alma randomly having seizures all give Gretchen the impression that Herr Konig isn't just a hotel manager, and she might need to get the hell out of town before it literally kills her.   What is this Film? Cuckoo is absolutely cuckoo.  From the moment this family shows up in the Bavarian Alps, you get why Gretchen looks like she's being dragged here against her will.  Hunter Schafer pretty much carries this film until Dan Stevens fully shows up in the 3rd act, outside of a few creepy moments shared between he and Hunter earlier in the film.  You have this young girl who's now forced to live in this foreign land, where one minute people are speaking German, and the next they're speaking French.  The hotel she works at closes at 10PM for reasons no one wants to explain.  She's constantly passing out in one place, then waking up in a totally different place.  This part could just be the editing and not necessarily indicative of her circumstance.  Aside from hotel guests, nobody in this town feels trustworthy.  Then there's the old woman from Birds in a raincoat with the hood up and not a drop of rain in site that keeps chasing Gretchen all over town.  Multiple times she's nearly killed, and her father could careless, even going as far as telling her go on ahead and get if she's not happy there and wants to leave so damn bad.  Then the late-night screeching starts.  Is that a banshee?  There's a damn banshee in this movie!  This wild feral sound causes the audience to experience déjà vu in reverberation hell.  I thought my screener was fried or bootlegged.  It took 3 of these scenes before I realized the editing was done this way on purpose to disassociate the audience from time and reality.  The beauty here is while you're experiencing these loops along with the characters on screen, you see them start to realize the déjà vu around the same time you've realized it and some of them know what this means.  Others aren't so lucky.  The monster here is so menacing you just can't turn your eyes away from the screen.  Add to that this was shot in 35mm film giving you that nostalgic late 70's horror cinema where creepy things are way creepier and loud noises feel way louder, and you've got one of those horror films you start to resent watching alone.  This is definitely some bring a friend horror. The story isn't overbearing or too complex once you get deep into the 3rd act and Herr Konig is given more exposition.  But That still won't keep you from either needing to watch this multiple times or at best rewinding it over and over again creating your own loops to help put the dark pieces together.  Not being able to figure out what the hell was going on is what made this movie so good to me.  I found myself at the climax of this film stumbling over the sense I couldn't make of any of it and asking things like, “Wait that creature thing is a what?”, “These scientists are trying to do what with it?”, and my favorite “So is that person dead now??  Another film about women being sacrificed in the name of science and experimentation, I'm kind of starting to hate being a man.  And this one has a such a weird twist.  I finished it and started thinking we just might need to ban men from doing science stuff.

If a very handsome and friendly young veteran named David visited your home one afternoon with a warm smile and some very kind words about your son whom he served with overseas....wouldn't YOU invite him over to stay?  That's the main question which kicks off this lean, mean horror thriller directed by aspiring genre master Adam Wingard (You're Next, Godzilla Vs Kong) and starring Dan Stevens (Downton Abbey, Cuckoo) AS David, the titular guest.  It was released ten years ago to much acclaim and minimal box office but has become something of a cult phenomenon via cable, streaming, and physical media since then.  Also co-starring is modern Scream Queen herself, Maika Monroe (It Follows, Longlegs) as Anna the older teenage daughter of the Peterson family which David stays with.  The rest of the family are played by Leland Orser, Sheila Kelly, and Brendan Meyer....and they all start to really like having David around including Anna.  But eventually she starts to suspect that all is NOT as it seems with regards to David....he might be hiding some secrets, some potentially VIOLENT secrets. :o And what results is an unforgettable ride sprinkled with throwback vibes to genre classics from the '70's and '80's including a catchy synth soundtrack!Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a texthttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

Otherwise, you'll carry it with you the rest of your life."10 years ago, Adam Wingard, Simon Barrett, Dan Stevens, and Maika Monroe joined forces to make one of the best indie action thrillers set on Halloween, THE GUEST. This is the movie that introduced genre fans to Dan Stevens and proved that Wingard and Barrett could do more than just horror. A decade later, The Wives Colangelo are here to discuss why the film makes for a perfect Halloween watch, and why more people need to listen to 20-year-old girls when they think the vibes are off about a handsome man!----Become a Patron!https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom----Interview ReferencedThe Dissolve: "Adam Wingard, Simon Barrett, and Dan Stevens on The Guest, and its place in their big plan" https://thedissolve.com/features/interview/760-adam-wingard-simon-barrett-and-dan-stevens-on-the-/----Find the Show on Twitter & Instagram: @ThisEndsAtPromBJ Colangelo —Twitter & Instagram: @BJColangeloHarmony Colangelo — Twitter & Instagram: @Veloci_trap_tor
