Leave your opinion on "El último tren"!

On Wednesday, 20th of October, the Hipano Society screened the movie "El último tren", a Uruguayan, Argentinian and Spanish production directed by Diego Arsuaga. In the film, a powerful Hollywood studio buys a Uruguayan locomotive from the 19^th century for their next movie.

To achieve their goal, three of the members, accompanied by a boy, steal the locomotive and begin a crazy journey through the abandoned tracks of the country. Our four heroes manage to challenge the authorities, draw the attention of people they meet on the way to their unusual campaign and earn their support.

Comment on the movie "Pudor"

On Wednesday 6 of October 2010, the Hispano Society screened the film "Pudor", released in 2007. "Pudor" mirrors intimacy, desires, obsessions, secrets and fears that we never confess; not even to the ones whom we love the most. As in several families, all the characters of "Pudor", despite living together, feel lonely. Leave your opinion about the film.

Leave your opinion on "La noche de los girasoles"

On Wednesday 29 we showed "La noche de los girasoles", from my perspective, one of the greatest thrillers of Spanish cinema that combined the suspense with the most typical Spanish sense of humour. Jorge Sánchez-Cabezudo created a story in which anger, love, hate and sexual obsession are mixed. It is in fact a realistic film played by great actors who make the audience laugh and shudder.
