SERIES
DOCUMENTARY / TIGER KING. "Are we ready for a pigtail, redneck president, a tiger and gun lover, gay and polygamous?" The question was asked some time ago to the candidate for president and governor of Oklahoma Joe Exotic , and in his own way summarizes the enormous nonsense that presides over each second of the seven chapters that make up the Tiger king series, directed by Eric Goode and Rebecca Chaikin. The story of strange types is told in an even rarer country. The first collect wild animals and the second can boast (?) Of having a reserve of felines in captivity greater than those that exist free throughout the world. What follows is a monster stop that redefines the sense of the expression guilty pleasure. They are mean and repulsive beings, oblivious to any threat of empathy; they are extreme exhibitionists in an extremely exhibitionist world. They are the dregs, but they are part of us. Impossible to stop looking at the collapse of the entire civilization. Indeed, it is by far the most watched series on Netflix.
DRAMA / SUCCESSION. We continue to suffer. Can you imagine a series in which it is impossible to empathize with any of the characters; a series in which the viewer wants to kill the entire cast from start to finish? Well that's Succession in either of its two seasons. If you want to hate the wealthy for good reason stick with Jesse Armstrong's memorable creation .
DOCUMENTARY / WILD WILD COUNTRY. And for the end, the classic of everything friqui. The story of the ascension, harassment, and demolition of the Indian guru Osho in Oregon. USA and the animal kingdom. / LUIS MARTÍNEZ

ART
DIGITAL 'VIDEOCLOOP'. We enter the jungle undergrowth. We separate tropical plants, on a subjective level, almost from a video game: we are Spanish conquerors guided by an indigenous slave through the Colombian mountains (without spoiler of the shocking ending of the video, of just 7 minutes). The vision of the vanquished is not a short, it is a work of the artist Carlos Motta and it is in the new VideoCloop launched by the video art festival LOOP. We can also travel on the roads of the deserts of California, on an American road trip with Niklas Goldblach in Land of the Sun. Thus, with more than 300 titles from international artists: a different cinema.
PHOTOGRAPHY / 'CIRCULATION (S)'. "Find a way to expand the horizon from home," says photographer Nathalie de Poste with a conceptual image of hands stretching a plastic net. It is one of the telegrams that the Circulation Festival (s) artists throw every day, which could not be held in Paris. From Barcelona, Joan Alvado with a poetic winter image or, from Belarus, Ihar Hancharuk, who recovers a photo of Chernobyl ...
DESIGN / 'OFF GOES ON'. The futuristic posters of the Albanian fashion artist Vasjen Katro (he designs one every day as part of his Baugasm project: he is already on the 200), the colorful and antidepressant graphic series of the New York duo Mathery or a talk with the Chief Designer of Google, Burton Rast (confined in San Frnacisco). The OFFF digital creativity festival has been postponed until September but offers daily online connections. / VANESSA GRAELL
MOVIE THEATER
CINECLUB / 'THE WIZARD OF OZ'. Steven Spielberg has programmed a selection of classic films for the American Film Institute in the spirit of old movie clubs. The idea is to see the film that Spielberg chooses (which will not be on the Institute's website but on the usual platforms) and then (or during) comment on it through social networks in a debate in which the filmmaker is also supposed to participate. . The first selection: The Wizard of Oz , the same as always, Judy Garland's.
RENT / 'PORTRAIT OF A WOMAN ON FIRE'. Streaming premieres hit the platforms like planes landing in West Berlin with groceries during the blockade years. Portrait of a woman on fire, by Céline Sciamma , is now available for rent on Filmin (www.filmin.es) for those of us who didn't catch that flight this past fall (59,000 viewers). When reading the reviews, the temptation is to put the Woman on fire lined up next to Yorgos Lanthimos' The Favorite for the plot full of compliments, for its beautiful baroque look and for its passions between women.Well, we'll see how it happens.
CYCLE 'CORÁSITOS'. It would be nice to spend the confinement in the house of the wealthy of Parasites with its little garden, its sparsely furnished but very good living room and its bunker. It will not be possible but we have a couple of consolation: first, we will not spend it in the basement of the poor of the film either. And second, the Sundance TV channel has programmed Corásitos , a film series for Saturdays in April with the works of the generation partners of Bong Joon-ho , the great winner at the Oscars. In other words: Chan-wook, Lee Su-jin and July Jung . / LUIS ALEMANY
