When British film authors launch prestigious art films aimed at winning an Oscar, there is a high likelihood that these projects will be based on famous literary works dating from the first half of the 20th century or much earlier.

Nadie puede confiar plenamente en sus sentidos, nuestra capacidad de percepción es limitada. Cualquier animal, por ejemplo, tiene más agudeza visual que nosotros. En una noche oscura los juegos de sombras disparan fácilmente la imaginación, haciéndonos creer que vemos cosas que no existen en la realidad… El director Joe Wright, a quien recuerdo por el film “La noche más oscura” (2017), logra hacer en esta película,…More

Nominated for the best movie of Oscar-winning 2008. According to me, this film was to receive an Oscar for the best film in 2008, not the No Country for Old Men, which I have not watched, but I do not believe that Che exceeded the impression obtained from Atonement. This movie is an adaptation of Ian McEwan's eponymous novel , which appears as the main characters, Keira Knightley and James MacAvoy . The movie consis…More
