Una semana solos / A Week Alone. 2008. HD.
A handful of children are left to their own devices in this subtle drama from Argentine filmmaker Celina Murga. Maria (Magdalena Capobianco) is a girl in her early teens whose family lives in an upscale gated suburb. Maria's parents are going out of town for a week, and rather than leave her with relatives or hire a babysitter, Maria is put in charge of looking after her little sister Sofia (Eleonora Capobianco), with housekeeper Esther (Natalia Gomez Alarcon) serving as a nominal adult authority figure, though for the most part she lets Maria and the others do what they please. With only their parents bedroom off-limits, Maria and Sofia have the run of the house, and soon they and their friends Facundo (Lucas Del Bo), Quique (Federico Pena), Rodrigo (Ramiro Saludas) and Timmy (Mateo Braun) are spending their days exploring the place. As the kids begin creating their own rules to run counter to the ones their absent parents set down, Esther brings a young relative, Fernando (Gaston Luparo), to play with them, and the privileged kids begin to get a notion of they ways of the outside world. Una Semana Solos (aka A Week Alone) was an official selection at the 2008 Buenos Aires Film Festival.

Une glace avec deux boules... / Superbiester! 'Nen Freund zum Geburtstag. 1982. DVD.
FR. A Carcassonne, de nos jours. Daniel Dalbret (Daniel Sarky), garagiste, quadragénaire cordial mais manquant un peu de caractère, quitte, après 17 ans de vie commune, sa femme Sarah (Sarah Siritzky) au profit d'une jeune et jolie secrétaire de préfecture : Maité (Anne Letourneau). Mais Daniel et Sarah ont deux filles : Vanessa (Désirée Nosbusch), 16 ans et Lolo (Valérie Dumas), 13 ans qui, n'acceptant pas cet abandon, décident de tout mettre en oeuvre pour récupérer leur père. N'ayant pas réussi à convaincre Daniel de son "erreur", elles vont mettre en place une véritable stratégie. C'est une histoire où se révèlent les points de vue des adolescents (avec "leurs" problème et "leurs" solutions) aussi bien que des femmes adultes et où le fou rire et les facéties succèdent aux serrements de coeur et à la peur. A partir d'une situation dramatique et très quotidienne, c'est une comédie douce amère offrant une vue en coupe de la "nouvelle société", avec toutes les surprises que cela implique...

Tout est toujours pareil : l’école, la plage, les enterrements… Mais l’été, tout change avec l’arrivée des vacanciers. La vie de Mathieu s’accélère soudain. Il tombe amoureux de Marie, fait des projets de mariage et s'amuse beaucoup avec ses nouveaux copains.

Plenilunio / Full Moon / Plenilune. 1999. FULL-HD.

Plenilunio / Full Moon / Plenilune. 1999. FULL-HD.
ES. Plenilunio es una película española producida en 1999, dirigida por Imanol Uribe y estrenada en el año 2000. Está basada en la novela homónima del escritor andaluz Antonio Muñoz Molina.
En una pequeña ciudad de provincias, una niña aparece muerta en mitad de un bosque. Ha sido brutalmente asesinada. Obsesionado por el espantoso suceso, el inspector de policía a cargo de la investigación, recorre la ciudad buscando una mirada. La mirada del asesino. De la misma forma que sucede en la realidad, un suceso brutal no se acaba en el propio delito, sino que provoca cambios en las personas que están relacionadas con las víctimas y también con el asesino. El hallazgo de la niña muerta es la razón por la que una mujer y un hombre se encuentran, la razón por la que ese hombre reflexiona sobre un pasado oscuro, la razón por la que esa mujer conoce al hombre del que ha de enamorarse.
EN. A lonely police detective tracks down a crazed child murderer. The movie develops both characters equally well. Most of us would be drawn more to the depiction of the killer as an aberrant type. He is well played as a person lost in his own world, with no friends, selling fresh fish, and drinking alone, unable even to ask for the check at one point, due to his acute inwardness. Our detective discovers the nude body of a young girl in the woods, the work of our killer. Unlike other films of this kind, this one moves (or plods) along at an absorbing pace, giving time for the detective to develop a relationship with an equally lonely school teacher. At one point, while they are making love, the killer is busy with another victim.
Director: Imanol Uribe.
Cast: Miguel Ángel Solá, Adriana Ozores, Juan Diego Botto, Fernando Fernán Gómez, Charo López, Chete Lera, María Galiana, Noelia Ortega, Chiqui Fernández, Antonio Muñoz Molina.
