The arrival of a new Friday means that at Espinof we do a detailed review of the most outstanding cinema of these days. As you may remember, our selection includes theatrical releases, new streaming releases, releases in physical format and titles that can be seen on a national Spanish channel. Today there are 11 films chosen that I detail below.
In theaters
‘Belfast’
One of the main contenders for the next Oscars. Kenneth Brangh leaves aside its more commercial aspect to tell us about a more intimate film with a certain autobiographical element that has received countless applause wherever it has been released.

‘The grandmother’
After multiple delays, the new horror film from Paco Square. It points to the fashion of linking gender with the elderly, using a script of Carlos Vermouth and with some very inspired interpretations of Almudena Amor and Vera Valdez. To put a but, the direction is much more stimulating, enhancing its more oppressive side than what the script suggests.

‘The Fallout’
Straight to HBO Max has come this film about how you deal with surviving the shooting at your high school, focusing on the character played by Jenna Ortegawhose placid existence changes forever after living that terrible experience from the bathroom…
in physical format
‘Millennium Actress’ (‘Sennen Joyû’)
One of the unforgettable films that Satoshi Kon had time to do before his tragic death at 46 years of age. Here the memories of a veteran actress are the basis for building an ambitious story with all the stamp of her author and that it will always be better to discover for yourself instead of someone trying to tell you about it.

in TV
‘Bravo River’
A first class western and also one of the films that most marked the cinema of John Carpenter. With a clear claustrophobic component, a wonderful cast and an impeccable work of Howard Hawks Behind the scenes, it is one of those titles that you have to see at least once in your life. And surely you will want to repeat.

‘Lethal Weapon’
One of the most emblematic action comedies of all time that has three great assets. On the one hand, the unquestionable chemistry of Mel Gibson and Danny Glover as an unlikely couple of policemen, the second the talent behind the cameras of Richard Donner and the third a script of Shane Black with more substance than usual in this type of production.

‘In the shadow’ (‘Aus dem Nichts’)
An auteur revenge thriller that manages to transmit a feeling of discomfort to the viewer at all times. With a strong ending and a beginning that sets the foundations well in the dramatic, perhaps it suffers a bit in the central section, but the great performance of Diana Kruger and the ability to Faith Akin in order not to fall into the monotonous they make up for it.

‘Gangs of New York’
a sweeper Daniel Day-Lewis takes over almost completely this more than remarkable film in which Martin Scorsese He also displays all his talent in staging to make a dream project come true. The pity is that it seems that we will never see its original montage…

‘Daggers in the back’ (‘Knives Out’)
One of the best hobbies that Hollywood has given us in a long time. Ryan Johnson here orchestrated a masterful suspenseful comedy with a top-notch cast led by Anne of Arms at the same time that it served to introduce the hilarious detective Benoit Blanc played by Daniel Craig.
Sunday at 22:05 in La 1

‘Constantine’
A film that deserved more luck when it was released in theaters, since it is true that it may not fully enhance its more adult side, but its cocktail of superhero, horror, film noir and suspense films works well enough to enjoy with her and wanting to see her again Keanu Reeves like John Constantin.
