The beast of my girl
Bringing up, Baby. EE UU, 1938 (103 minutos). Director: Howard Hawks. Intérpretes: Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn, Charles Ruggles, May Robson.
Howard Hawks, the perfect example of a total filmmaker: it doesn’t matter if he embraces the noir genre (The eternal dream), the western (Bravo River) or, as in this case, comedy: The beast of my girl it is, quite simply, an unprecedented review of all its springs, at the expense of Cary Grant, a wise paleontologist with a placid life, who will see how chaos appears in his life in the form of a woman. Of course, that woman is Katharine Hepburn, which makes things even more lively. The most hilarious gags follow one another at such a frenetic pace that everything seems on the verge of madness, but it is only appearance: both the script and the staging achieve pinpoint precision.

The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn
EE UU, 2011 (107 minutos). Director: Steven Spielberg. Intérpretes: Jamie Bell, Andy Serkis, Daniel Craig, Nick Frost.
Spielberg behind the camera and Peter Jackson as producer take on the challenge of bringing a popular 20th century icon like Tintin to the screen. It is true that the technical workmanship of the film is impeccable, and that the use of the motion capture technique is astonishing, which turns the actors’ faces and movements into animated ones. But it is also true that, as in much of Spielberg’s cinema, aesthetic perfection stifles both the emotion and the true essence of the staging.

A bridge to Terabithia
USA, 2007 (95 minutes). Director: Gabor Csupo. Performers: Josh Hutcherson, Anna Sophia Robb, Zooey Deschanel.
Katherine Paterson’s classic of children’s literature hits the screen. The bad thing is that it does so wrapped in an aesthetic close to the telefilm that does not help to enjoy the adventures of its magical world. Of course, its tone and development are more suitable for adolescents than for children.

The name of the rose
France-Italy-Germany, 1986 (123 minutes). Director: Jean Jacques Annaud. Performers: Sean Connery, Christian Slater.
Jean-Jacques Annaud showed audacity in adapting Umberto Eco’s novel. The film is forced to put aside the overwhelming literary density of the original and its outcome is subject to the demands of a blockbuster, but Annaud creates images of unusual power and skillfully combines detective investigation with some horror movie codes. And there can be no better Guillermo de Baskerville than the one played by Sean Connery.

The talent of Mr. Ripley
The Talented Mr. Ripley. USA, 1999 (133 minutes). Director: Anthony Minghella. Cast: Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow
The author of The English Patient sign a remake of In full sun and turns Patricia Highsmith’s novel into a convulsive, slow-paced but relentless thriller that accentuates Ripley’s character’s upbeat pursuits and surrounds the character with a pronounced air of amorality.

Fragile
Spain, 2005 (100 minutes). Director: Jaume Balagueró. Performers: Calista Flockhart, Elena Anaya, Richard Roxburgh.
The third incursion of the director Jaume Balagueró in the horror cinema noses in the abysses of fear with an aggressive story, dominated by the filmmaker with an iron hand, locked in a sinister children’s hospital that welcomes strange events and receives a new nurse who hides a painful secret. Balagueró handles the codes of the genre with ease, creates more than vibrant images and knows how to overwhelm without a hint of fuss. Two years later his masterpiece would arrive, REC, co-directed together with Paco Plaza.

Before the devil knows that you’ve died
EE UU, 2007 (120 minutos). Director: Sidney Lumet. Intérpretes: Philip Seymour Hoffman, Ethan Hawke, Albert Finney, Marisa Tomei.
It had to be an 83-year-old author who shot the best American film of 2007, a thriller exemplary at the same time as a Shakespearean tragedy that embraces characters dominated by anguish and the impossibility of escaping from destiny. Lumet films a barrage of painful, suffocating, terrible images, for a story that is unstructured into a narrative framework full of intricate twists. Masterly.
