Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
is Marvel's commitment to martial arts cinema and inclusion, with a half-Chinese, half-American protagonist. The autobiographical work of the Portuguese Catalina Vasconcelos is amplified with her first feature film,
The Metamorphosis of the Birds
, a delicate
collage
of memories, dreams and static images. Carol Rodríguez Colás also premieres with
Chavalas
, who is in a duet with her sister Marina Rodríguez Colás, who has written the script. Vicky Luengo stars in this film, an ode to friendship and authenticity.
The Biscayan director Lara Izagirre premieres
Nora
, a film about the reunion with confidence and with the best of ourselves and the world around us.
For its part,
El Tubo
proposes another new exercise in claustrophobia and suspense - as did the Spanish
El Hoyo
o
Cube
- with tints of the New French Extremism.
The films have been reviewed by Elsa Fernández-Santos, Javier Ocaña and Carlos Boyero.
