Hour of the Gun. Director: John Sturges. Interpreters: James Garner, Jason Robards, Robert Ryan.

John Sturges delivers an excellent wéstern that follows in the footsteps of the legendary Wyatt Earp and Doc Hollyday.

A bitter and hopeless film, in a gloomy tone, in which the filmmaker seeks the precise framing, the right image. A masterpiece that defines a cinema that has already disappeared.

November

Spain, 2003 (98 minutes). Director: Achero Mañas. Interpreters: Óscar Jaenada, Ingrid Rubio, Adriana Domínguez, Juan Díaz.

November It is a cry of rebellion, irregular if you want, but as committed and torn as beautiful. A shout that cannot be tasted with the strict look of cinephilia, but must be enjoyed with the heart.
