Without a doubt, 2024 has proven to be a fruitful year for the film industry. Despite the passing of several months, there are many triumphs to be celebrated. On the one hand, there is an arrival Dune: Part Twowhich clarified the scope of a new type of, more complex science fiction and, in addition, was an immediate box office success. On the other hand, there is pure entertainment in the form of the legendary battle of the titans.
Godzilla and Kong: A New Empire It showed that beyond elite cinema, there is an entire audience that seeks entertainment in cinemas. It turned the wild – and very fun – meeting of both monsters into one of the greatest games of the early year. But that will happen in the coming months, when cinematic spectacle will be put to the test. Not just because of the arrival of the main event of the Marvel season – the premiere Deadpool and Wolverine (Wolverine) threatens to collapse ticket offices but also perhaps award-winning titles.
Several of them hit theaters this month and show that the cinematic experience is still an interesting one. This is despite the ups and downs in the industry recently. We leave you with the best options to watch in cinemas this weekend. From Ryan Gosling’s latest film to a rarity in Spanish cinema, it’s worth going to the cinema. These are the best options to fully enjoy the cinematic world.
Specialist
This homage to the legendary 1980s TV series of the same name is a unique blend of comedy and action that hits theaters this week. Something that director David Leitch is very good at, having already demonstrated his skills in 2022 with High-speed train. But this time it goes a little further than just a series of stunning scenes of shooting and carnage.
This time, its goal is to pay homage to the cinematic spectacle, and it succeeds through meta-referential humor and charismatic characters. The result is a film that makes you laugh most of the time, sometimes out loud. but it is also an exploration of the behind-the-scenes of the cinematic world.
Of course, Leitch is the best choice to direct a story based on the often ups and downs of the lives of stuntmen. After all, before sitting behind the camera, the director was a stunt double for Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and many other actors. Part of this experience seems to be part of the world of Colt Seavers’ character, played by Ryan Gosling, of brilliant humor and a sense of satirism. The combination of all of the above results in a film that surprises with great screen scenes and timely nods to all sorts of larger productions. Ideal for movie lovers.
Rivals
Luca Guadagnino has a complex filmography, which seems to be summarized in Rivals, his latest work, has already received acclaim for its elegance, provocation and depth. The story of two rivals on the tennis court, who also have to compete for the love of a woman, might seem like a classic melodrama. Much more, a love triangle that has nothing to do with the genre.
But the director takes the idea and turns it into a cinematic duel of erotic tension and athletic prowess. Art (Mike Feist) and Patrick (Josh O’Connor) have been friends for most of their lives, and now they’re battling it out to be the best, racquet in hand. Only another layer of complexity is added to the rivalry due to the love both profess to have for Tashi (Zendaya). a meeting place for the complex feelings that torment them.
The director, a master of creating a delightful and slightly perverse atmosphere, achieves his most outstanding work in Rivales. Plus, one that makes Zendaya more than just a youth and red carpet idol. This film is more complex than it seems and more sensitive than it seems, and will delight those looking for good auteur cinema.
mammal
And the list of film premieres ends with a comedy with a Spanish accent. Liliana Torres directs and writes this film, which examines motherhood in modern times and all the social pressures associated with the decision to become a mother.Between both things lies the fact of reimagining the future and one’s own identity through the process of gaining the ability to conceive.
With ease and an intuitive and satirical sense of humor, Mamikola follows Lola (Maria Rodriguez Soto, from Ministry of Time), who, without expecting it or planning it, becomes pregnant. The next thing that will happen is that you will have to rethink all your priorities from the very beginning. And also how you will live in the future. Sensitive, sometimes sour, but always funny, the film is a true portrait of the woman of our time. At the same time, a keen eye for cultural needs.And all this in a package of jokes and an ironic point of view worthy of a trip to the theaters.
