par Benoit Basirico Cinezik Radio sur Cinezik.fr Après un premier épisode consacré aux bois, nous explorons un nouvel épisode de notre série sur les instruments au cinéma. Voici notre sélection de musiques de films où un instrument issu de la famille des cuivres devient le héros.

Min 4: LOS TIGRES (4 estrellas) En Los Tigres, Alberto Rodríguez vuelve a sumergirse -esta vez literalmente- en el territorio que mejor domina: el del drama social revestido de thriller. Tras La isla mínima o Modelo 77, el cineasta sevillano pone el foco en un mundo apenas explorado por el cine español, el de los buzos industriales que se juegan la vida en silencio bajo las aguas del puerto de Huelva. Antonio de la Torre encarna con su habitual magnetismo a un buzo veterano que, junto a su hermana -una impecable Bárbara Lennie-, se enfrenta al límite físico y moral de su oficio cuando descubren un alijo de cocaína en un petrolero hundido. A partir de ahí, el director construye un relato de atmósfera opresiva, cargado de tensión y verdad, que combina el pulso del cine de género con una mirada profundamente humana al sacrificio y la precariedad laboral. Min 14 CUERPOS LOCOS (1 estrella) La directora Ana Murugarren se adentra en el terreno de la comedia familiar con Cuerpos Locos, un relato construido sobre el clásico intercambio de identidades que esta vez enfrenta a una niña de diez años, Ana, y su futura madrastra, Sara. Cuando ambos cuerpos se cruzan por una extraña tormenta electromagnética, la jueza deberá sobrevivir al mundo infantil y la niña al entorno del juzgado, en un choque de perspectivas que va de la adversidad a la comprensión mutua. El reparto, encabezado por Paz Padilla, con la participación de Antonio Resines, Ricardo Castella y otros nombres destacados del cine español, se mueve con soltura en una propuesta visualmente ambiciosa para su género --la presencia de efectos especiales y localizaciones en el País Vasco amplían el marco habitual de la comedia--, aportando dinamismo aunque sin escapar del esquema familiar de manual. MIn 17: TOGETHER (3,5 estrellas) En su ópera prima, el director Michael Shanks ofrece un relato inquietante de horror corporal que explora la dependencia emocional y la disolución de identidad en pareja. Alison Brie y Dave Franco â€"que además son pareja en la vida realâ€" interpretan a Millie y Tim, quienes se trasladan al campo buscando un nuevo comienzo. Lo que arranca como un intento de renovación se convierte en un descenso hacia lo extraño cuando descubren una cueva y un agua que desencadenan mutaciones físicas y simbólicas: el cuerpo se convierte en metáfora de unión, transformación y terror. Min 23: A PESAR DE TI (2'5 estrellas) Dirigida por Josh Boone, esta adaptación de la novela de Colleen Hoover reúne a Allison Williams (Morgan Grant), Mckenna Grace (Clara Grant) y Dave Franco (Jonah Sullivan) en una historia que parte de una familia aparentemente estable: madre, hija adolescente y padre. Morgan, que en su juventud dejó de lado sus sueños para asumir la maternidad, ve cómo su relación con Clara se tensa conforme la joven crece y rechaza el camino que su madre le trazó. Cuando un accidente trágico arrolla la vida familiar y emerge una traición inesperada, madre e hija quedan obligadas a reconstruirse mientras se aferran a lo que aún les queda. Min 27: ESA COSA CON ALAS (3 estrellas) En Esa cosa con alas, el director Dylan Southern propone un filme que mezcla el drama emocional con lo sobrenatural y el terror psicológico. Benedict Cumberbatch interpreta a un padre que, tras la repentina muerte de su esposa, se ve obligado a cuidar solo de sus dos hijos mientras una presencia inquietante se apodera lentamente de su hogar. El guion juega con la ambigüedad: ¿es la aparición unánime de su culpa, del duelo acumulado o un ente real que se alimenta del miedo? El reparto incluye además figuras como David Thewlis, cuya voz aporta a lo perturbador de la historia, y Sam Spruell, en un papel que tensiona aún más la fragilidad del protagonista. La trama se estructura con sobriedad y tensión creciente, permitiendo que la atmósfera â€"más que el susto fácilâ€" sea la que conduzca el viaje hacia una devastación interna. Min 32: RECIÉN NACIDAS (4 estrellas) En Recién nacidas, los hermanos belgas Jean-Pierre Dardenne y Luc Dardenne regresan al cine social con una mirada coral impactante: cinco adolescentes â€"Jessica, Perla, Julie, Ariane y NaÃma" conviven en un centro materno mientras enfrentan el reto de criar a sus hijos nacidos de circunstancias difíciles. La película se desarrolla en espacios austeros, casi de documental, y apuesta por el realismo puro al mostrar la precariedad, la ausencia paterna, las adicciones o el pasado traumático de estas jóvenes. El reparto, considerablemente formado por actrices no profesionales o poco conocidos como Elsa Houben, Janaína Halloy, Samia Hilmi, Lucie Laruelle y Babette Verbeek aporta frescura y autenticidad al relato. Los Dardenne, que firman tanto dirección como guión, emplean su característico estilo de cámara cercana al cuerpo y al silencio, sin grandes adornos, buscando que la verdad de los personajes se imponga. Min 35: MONSIEUR AZNAVOUR (3 estrellas) En Monsieur Aznavour, los directores Mehdi Idir y Grand Corps Malade trazan con pulso firme el ascenso de Charles Aznavour desde sus humildes orígenes como hijo de refugiados armenios hasta convertirse en leyenda de la canción francesa. Protagonizada por Tahar Rahim â€"quien encarna al artista con intensidad y convicciónâ€" la cinta despliega la lucha constante de un hombre cuya voz parecía no tener cabida en su tiempo y que, sin embargo, se negó a escuchar ese veredicto. Su encuentro con Édith Piaf se convierte en la bisagra de una carrera forjada en escenarios pequeños, sacrificios familiares y una voluntad que desafiaba toda norma. La película no solo recrea los éxitos y la consagración del protagonista, sino también las raíces invisibles de su mito: el exilio, la pobreza, la creación musical fuera de los márgenes, todo ello bajo una estética cuidada, fotográfica y sobria que sirve de marco a la emoción. Min 37: EL EFECTO DE LAS GUERRERAS K-POP (3 estrellas) Hablamos con Raquel Hernández del fenómeno provocado en Netflix por Las guerreras K-pop, dirigida por Maggie Kang y Chris Appelhans, se presenta un mundo vibrante que fusiona el espectáculo del K-pop con la acción sobrenatural más desenfadada. La trama gira en torno a las superestrellas del pop coreano Rumi, Mira y Zoey, quienes llevan una doble vida: por el día llenan estadios y seducen multitudes como el grupo HUNTR/X, y por la noche se convierten en cazadoras de demonios para proteger a sus fans de amenazas ocultas. Su impacto en la plataforma ha sido tal entre los seguidores que este fin de semana se ha estrenado en varias salas españolas en formato karaoke. Min 40: LA PELI DE TU VIDA: CON INMA CUESTA La actriz española de cine, teatro y televisión reconocida por su versatilidad y magnetismo interpretativo, premiada en el reciente Festival Abycine 2025, atiende cara a cara la petición de Estamos de Cine y nos cuenta porqué considera 'Tómbola' (Luis Lucía. 1962) el título que marcó su amor y dedicación al cine. Min 47: BSO "TRILOGÍA INDIANA JONES" Y ya que hace justo una semana, Aitor Arregi, el Moriarti más aventurero, apostó por Indiana Jones como la "trilogía de su vida", tenemos en bandeja rendir homenaje a la aportación del gran John Williams para las tres primeras entregas. Ángel Luque se frota las manos desde que escuchó el veredicto de Arregi en Estamos de Cine. Ahora nos toca disfrutarlo
