The good weather has arrived and you have time to see yourself with family and friends, but you also end the day tired and you feel like spending time on the couch and a good movie. If what you are looking for is a production that is not very long and your television platform is HBO, here are five proposals that you will like.
‘Kimi’ (2022) has been one of the premieres on the small screen of the season, and it has everything to be a sure success. Starring the actress Zöe Kravitz, and under the direction of the great Steven Soderbergh, it tells a story very much of our time: a young woman who suffers from agoraphobia and lives secluded in a large apartment relates to the outside world through screens and her telecommuting, very technological. Does it ring a bell? With nods to Alfred Hitchcock’s classic ‘Rear Window’, and the paranoia and fears that the passage of the pandemic and the dominance of the internet in our lives, the film guarantees a good dose of tension and entertainment.
‘The Party’ (2017) is a gem with a fabulous cast, led by Kristin Scott Thomas, Emily Mortimer and Bruno Ganz with director Sally Potter, who was a revolution with her film Orlando starring Tilda Swinton. It recounts in a fast-paced way a celebration that goes from black comedy to melodrama with great elegance, without losing its sense of humor and with great performances by the characters involved in the original plot.
‘Mía and the white lion’ (2018) is a film for all audiences that once again brings us closer to the relationship between people and wild animals based on the special bond that a girl in Africa establishes with a lion. Of a naturalistic type, and with reflections on the world of hunting and the western point of view on nature, it moves away from the common places and is very entertaining.
‘Moonshot’ (2022) is a romantic comedy in a science-fiction environment, with all the requirements of the genre and, above all, some protagonists very well in their roles: Cole Sprouse, famous for his participation in the Disney Channel, and Lana Condor , an actress from the teen series ‘To All the Boys: Forever’ and the X-Men movie ‘Apocalypse’, effortlessly embody the couple who travels into space on a mission to the distant future.
‘The drugs’ (2020) is a biographical documentary that will not leave you indifferent. Based on the true story of the artist Enrique Villarreal, known as ‘El drugs’, leader of the musical band ‘Barricada’ for three decades, the director of the production, Natxo Leuza, traces the portrait of a generation, its concerns and the limits of creativity in artistic activity.
