SERIES, BY MANUEL LLORENTE

YESTERDAY AND TODAY / 'UNORTHODOX'

A Jewish girl, who belongs to a Brooklyn Orthodox community, meets her future husband almost at the wedding. She can not bear the pressure of her mother-in-law for not getting pregnant, religious rituals overwhelm her, she is not a child or even a woman ... She escapes to Berlin where her mother lives and something similar happened to her, and there her husband is shown off. . In the Germany of her ancestors she finds the warmth of a multiracial gang of musicians of similar age ... Everything is so real that Deborah Fieldman, whose autobiography the series is based on, was on the set and there are conversations in Yiddish. It is seen with pleasure although it is somewhat peliculera. Directed by Maria Schrader, by Stefan Zweig: goodbye to Europe.

HUMOR WITHOUT COMPLEX 'SHITSEL'

Much more fun is another series of ultra-Orthodox, but it is set in today's Jerusalem. Shulem tries to marry his son Akira, a promising painter, innocent and hesitant. In the series a young girl-like appearance appears, the actress Shira Haas, who is also the protagonist of the previous series. Impeccable his push, the integrity with which he cares for his brothers and the expressiveness (minimal but effective) of his gestures. Rabbi Shulem's clumsiness to cope in everyday life is workable. To laugh (or smile).

CRIMES AND HYPNOSIS / 'FREUD'

The tribulations of a young doctor who will be the father of psychoanalysis focus this well-established bet on Vienna in the 70s / 80s of the 19th century. Sorcerers, mediums, political conflicts, but especially how a doctor insists on introducing new doctrines experienced in Paris. Discussions with old school colleagues and teachers, crimes, soldiers who fight with their eyes closed, rituals, Freud's dependence on cocaine ... Without further ado.

THE STROKES / 'BROOKLYN BRIDGE TO CHORUS'

Bailonga and even a little verbenera, the new song by The Strokes is the last of the advances of the New York group's new album, The new abnormal . This sixth album, produced by one of the world's most charismatic and elusive recording engineers, Rick Rubin, is due out next Friday. A light and happy keyboard is the protagonist of Brooklyn bridge to chorus , a promising song from that album that some Anglo-Saxon critics already value as "the best of Strokes in a decade", which does not have a great merit because it is the first they do in seven years.

BAD BUNNY 'MY HOUSE'

On a first trap basis , with his hi hat and everything else, the Puerto Rican idol improvises phrases in this new song recorded during confinement. "I who wanted to see you / But it is not going to be able / It is time to stay at home, home", he repeats in My house , topic uploaded to the internet this weekend. "In the row an old man passed out / I want the virus to go away like Roselló / I don't have Auto-Tune nor do I want to use it / The concert I had to cancel", continues the Bad Rabbit, who released a little more than a month ago Latin hit of 2020 so far, the ambitious album YHLQMDLG , with up to 20 songs.

JARVIS / 'HOUSE MUSIC ALL NIGHT LONG'

After several tours and vicissitudes, he announced an album for this 2020, but the virus has forced a delay in its publication, so that At the moment we have to be content, and it is no small feat, with an advance as tremendous as House music all night long , a piece of song of more than seven minutes tarnished with nostalgia.

CINEMA, BY LUIS ALEMANY

AQUITECTURE / MILAN CYCLE

Vittorio Gregoretti, one of the first victims of the COVID-19 in the world of culture (he died last March 15), was the great architect of Milan after the war. Now, the Arquia Foundation remembers it but not expressly through architecture but through a lot of films that portray that city, that moment: documentaries, more or less contemporary films and Milanese classics such as La noche de Antonioni, Rocco and their brothers from Visconti or Yesterday, today and tomorrow , by De Sica. Some movies are offered through the usual platforms and others are courtesies released by Arquia.

MUTES AND MUSICAL FESTIVAL

The Oviedo Contemporary Audiovisual Week (SACO) has had to settle for being a Vimeo channel this year, but that does not mean that its programming is no longer surprising. This week it will offer a silent film every day that will be broadcast with a contemporary soundtrack that will sound live. Today, the turn will be Assault and Robbery of the Train (1903), by Edwin S. Porter, with score and interpretation by the Asturian poet and musician Xaime Martínez.

DRAMÓN 'THE STRANGE'

Another festival that will manage as best it can: the Tribeca festival, which these days announced that it will broadcast many of the premieres it had planned for this year's edition, scheduled for the return of Easter, on the web. While that moment comes, you can browse the recent festival record that helped discover Asghar Farhadi a few years ago. Out there also seems The Stranger , the 2010 winning German Turkish film, which is a little Against the wall and a little Farhadi. It's on Filmin.

ARUNDHATI ROY / TRIALS

"The problem is that, in reality, Gandhi said it all and also said the opposite (...) How to reconcile the pacifist Gandhi, the Punishment Gandhi, the Androgynous Gandhi, the one with awake wit? (...) Did he really confront power with the truth? ». "Here is Iraq: a criminal state, a serious threat to world peace." "The American tradition of pardoned turkey offers a splendid allegory to explain the new racism." "It is utter folly to believe that nuclear weapons are only deadly if used." The acclaimed author of The God of Little Things shows in My Seditious Heart (Anagram) her most combative side.

LITERATURE VIA DVD / LOS MANN

The ins and outs of the Mann family (Thomas, the Nobel laureate; his brother Heinrich, his sons Erika and Klaus) are very helpful. If eccentric, manic and picky he was the patriarch; if dissolute, erratic, rowdy and jealous of Thomas was Heinrich (the one in The Blue Angel ), Erika got involved in all sexualities, she was an actress, a reporter, she founded a cabaret ... Klaus got along badly with his father, at times with Erika sometimes wrote. And Golo is missing. A gibberish that the three CDs clarify ... for a while.
