La vaquilla ( the Heifer ) by Luis García Berlanga. A spanish comedy with the action placed during the Spanish Civil War
A film that is perfect for Donks. One of the characters even has his name.

Thanks gadjilupe
my missus was pissing herself a moment ago... she didn’t know what I was watching and kept hearing my name being called
another Spanish classic from 1985, not to be confused with “yo, el vaquilla” btw.
I was still in Madrid back then, an amazing place in the 80’s, when I was young and before the clan of the marquesa took over. Quite a few of the images in the film remind me in part of the esperpento you can still see today...United in diversity !!!

Unfortunately it was the last movie of the series Clasicos contigo.
Last weekend I watched La Buena Estrella by Ricardo Franco.
Anyway I'm happy that I could watch so many classics.
Based on what I saw in these movies ( and not only in these classics) I must confess that I'm amazed ( in a positive way ) by the Spanish family relationships. Such things could never happen in absurdistani society.

Someone suggested that I go see Tenet. Has anyone here seen it? Is it worth the time and ticket?

Tonight I watched a wonderful movie from 1998: The Legend of 1900 ( La leggenda del pianista sull'oceano ) by Giuseppe Tornatore. As wonderful as his previous movie, Cinema Paradiso. I'm afraid that words can't express the emotion I felt watching it. And Tim Roth is perfect playing a fantastic pianist on the board of a boat where he was abandoned as a newborn baby and who never in his life set foot on land.

After a long pause I finally went out to see a movie. Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn is a Romanian movie directed by Radu Jude and is this year's winner of the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival.( A few years ago I presented on this thread another Radu Jude's movie ( Aferim!), also a winner of the Silver Bear at the same festival).
The film is very provocative and not because of its more than explicit sex scenes ( hey! do you remember when a certain forum member said that my fav movie genre is soft porn? well, this is more than soft ) or its obscene language. The real shock comes from the image of today's Romania. Because at the end of the day this movie is a social satire.

These old spanish movies continue to amaze me.
