El drama hospitalario español de Netflix vuelve en Halloween. © Netflix

Netflix ha anunciado la fecha de estreno de la segunda temporada de Respira, su drama hospitalario español.

En esta nueva temporada, El Joaquín Sorolla se convierte en un hospital de gestión privada, desafiando las convicciones y principios de sus médicos. Más allá de salirse con la suya, Patricia (Najwa Nimri) sigue luchando contra su cáncer y crea un vínculo cada vez más estrecho con Néstor (Borja Luna). Jésica (Blanca Suárez) busca recuperar la confianza que le caracteriza, pero no puede decidirse entre Lluís (Alfonso Bassave) y Biel (Manu Ríos). Pilar (Aitana Sánchez-Gijón) sigue lidiando con las adicciones de su hijo, aunque Quique (Xóan Fórneas) encontrará en ella una inesperada aliada cuando la nueva dirección del centro lo lleve a tomar una cuestionable decisión. A todo esto se suma la llegada de una prestigiosa oncóloga, Sophie (Rachel Lascar), decidida a poner el hospital patas arriba.

Two figures very close to Pedro Almodovar, his longtime producer Esther García and repeat star Marisa Paredes, will be honored by Spain’s most prestigious film festival, San Sebastián.

García will receive a Donostia Award for career achievement.

Paredes, who died in December, will feature on this year’s San Sebastian poster.

Working with Agustín Almódovar, García has produced all Almodovar’s films since 1986’s “Matador,” released a year after Pedro and brother Agustín founded El Deseo in Madrid to hone a production model which, often working on contained budgets, realized the potential of Almodovar’s talent, allowing him creative oversight over the whole of a film while relieving him of rushed production schedules and the need to abandon his more out-there innovation and humor in order to recoup on bigger budgeted productions.

At El Deseo, García has also produced third-party titles from Guillermo del Toro, Lucrecia Martel, Damián Szifron,...

Golshifteh Farahani will receive the Locarno Film Festival’s prestigious Excellence Award Davide Campari on Aug. 6, 2025.

Farahani will present her recent film, Julia Ducournau’s “Alpha,” which premiered this year in competition at Cannes. She will also take part in a public conversation with the festival audience.

Born in Tehran in 1983, Farahani’s got her breakthrough role in Dariush Mehrjui’s “The Pear Tree” back in 1998. Since then, she has appeared in Abbas Kiarostami’s “Shirin,” Asghar Farhadi’s “About Elly,” Jim Jarmusch’s “Paterson,” Ridley Scott’s spy thriller “Body of Lies” or even in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise, starring in “Dead Men Tell No Tales.”

In 2017, she came to Locarno to present the Rajasthan-set “The Song of Scorpions” on the Piazza Grande.

“Sometimes you can separate yourself from the character, and sometimes you can’t. The character’s curse can capture you and you’re a...

Golshifteh Farahani will be feted at Locarno with the Excellence Award Davide Campari.

Farahani will be handed the award on August 6. She will also present her latest film, Julia Ducournau’s Alpha, at the festival.

Born in Tehran in 1983, Farahani’s breakthrough role was in Dariush Mehrjui’s The Pear Tree (1998), which won her the Best Actress award at the Fajr International Film Festival.

Since then, she has appeared in films like Abbas Kiarostami’s Shirin (2008), Asghar Farhadi’s About Elly (2009), Jim Jarmusch’s Paterson (2016), Ridley Scott’s spy thriller Body of Lies (2008), and Extraction (2020).

Previous honorees include Susan Sarandon, John Malkovich, Willem Dafoe, Michel Piccoli, Anjelica Huston, Carmen Maura, Isabelle Huppert, Gael García Bernal, Charlotte Rampling, Giancarlo Giannini, and Edward Norton. In 2024, Mélanie Laurent and Guillaume Canet were handed the gong.

Shudder has acquired the rights to Vieja Loca — English translation: Crazy Old Lady — in North America, UK, Australia, and New Zealand, Deadline has learned.

In the Spanish-language horror-thriller, a man receives a desperate call from his ex-girlfriend to temporarily care for her senile mother. But the woman won’t let him leave, turning a simple task into a nightmare.

Carmen Maura and Daniel Hendler star.

Screenwriter Martín Mauregui makes his feature directorial debut, with filmmaker J.A. Bayona serving as producer.

“When I began my career with The Orphanage, Guillermo del Toro produced it on one condition: that I would sponsor another director in the future. I loved Mauregui’s script and it’s an opportunity to return to genre cinema, which I love,” Bayona commented.

“I approached the project to lend a hand, but I ended up producing. It was the first film to be shot in Argentina after Javier Milei...

Exclusive: During the Cannes Film Festival and market, where Ja Bayona presented a preview of Vieja Loca, the film he is producing with Belén Atienza, Ramon Campos and Gabriela Carcova, Shudder acquired rights in North America, UK, Australia and New Zealand.

The Spanish-language film narrates the nightmare a man (Hendler) suffers after receiving a desperate call from his ex-girlfriend to take care of her senile mother (Maura).

O2 Play, one of Brazil’s most active international distributors, has acquired worldwide rights to “Nimuendajú,” an impactful 2D animated biopic of Germany’s Curt Unckel, a pioneering defender of Brazil’s Indigenous communities.

Also set to distribute “Nimuendajú” in Brazil, O2 Play has shared an international trailer in exclusivity with Variety.

In a double market strategy, O2 Play’s head Igor Kupstas will host a market screening at the Cannes Film Festival’s Marché du Film before “Nimuendajú” plays the prestigious Contrechamp section at June’s Annecy Animation Festival whose artistic director Marcel Jean has hailed the film as “astonishing.”

The debut feature of Minas Gerais-based Tania Anaya “Nimuendajú” boasts at times the delicacy of much 2D Brazilian animation – think the Oscar-nominated “The Boy and the World” – especially when it pictures Amazon forest landscapes. But its tones are darker and more strident capturing moments of violence, or when it...

Se ha hecho pública la primera imagen de la película de terror psicológico Vieja loca, ópera prima del guionista y director Martín Mauregui, producida por Juan Antonio Bayona y Belén Atienza.

Vieja loca narra la pesadilla que sufre un hombre (Hendler) tras recibir la llamada desesperada de una ex novia para que cuide de su madre senil (Maura).

La película, una coproducción hispano-argentina, está protagonizada por la española Carmen Maura (Volver) y el uruguayo Daniel Hendler (Esperando al mesías).

En palabras de Bayona, Vieja loca es «una película muy claustrofóbica, una fábula de terror y suspense que aborda cómo se transmite la violencia de una generación a otra». El aclamado cineasta español también añadió: «Cuando empecé mi carrera con El Orfanato, Guillermo del Toro la produjo con una condición: que apadrinara a otro director en el futuro.

Oscar-winning Spanish auteur Pedro Almodovar has made a name for himself with a series of brightly colored, delightfully kinky and unabashedly melodramatic titles, mixing comedy, drama, sex and violence to great success. He shows no signs of slowing down, with his latest outing in 2019 being the Oscar-nominated “Pain and Glory.” Let’s take a look back at all 22 of his films, ranked worst to best.

Born in 1949 in Spain, Almodovar came to prominence during La Movida Madrilena, a cultural renaissance that blossomed at the end of Francoist Spain. Staring with his filmmaking debut “Pepi, Luci, Bom and Other Girls Like Mom” (1980), the openly gay director showed an affinity for oddballs and outsiders, populating his films with transvestites, transexuals and homosexuals, all of whom had previously been relegated to the closet. He also showed a talent for working with women, and throughout his 40 year career has placed actresses such as Penelope Cruz,...

If the movies of the 2000s were defined by a period of violent transition (both onscreen and off), the music that was written for those movies captured the full sweep of that change — and the endless possibilities it allowed for in turn. The aughts were absent a single identifying element as strong to the decade as synths were to the ’80s or symphonic grandeur was to the ’90s, and to judge by our list of the period’s best scores it sounds like they might have been all the better for it.

On the one hand, the 2000s saw venerated masters like John Williams and Terence Blanchard deliver some of the greatest work of their careers, while journeyman like “Lord of the Rings” composer Howard Shore emerged into legendary status with a single...

In Land of Women, Chilean actor Santiago Cabrera stars as Amat, a Spanish resident in the fictional Catalonian town of La Muga and the sole male participant in the all-female wine cooperative on which the city’s economy relies. He also becomes an unexpected and much-needed aide to Eva Longoria’s Gala Scott, who, along with her mother (Carmen Maura) and daughter (Victoria Bazùa), crash into his world while on the run from mobsters trying to retrieve the multi-million-dollar debt owed to them by her husband Fred Scott (James Purefoy).

The “Under the Tuscan Sun–Eat, Pray, Love-y” tone of the Spanish-language Apple TV+ series — as Longoria previously described it to The Hollywood Reporter — appears to foreshadow a future as a romantic lead for Cabrera whose career has spanned the genres of superhero drama (Heroes), dark comedy (Big Little Lies), crime thriller (Dexter) and science fiction, portraying Cristobal Rios in Star Trek: Picard,...

I hope you’ve worked up an appetite this week, because new episodes of FX’s culinary-themed comedy “The Bear” have arrived at long last.

The highly anticipated third season of the Emmy-winning show, which is now streaming on Hulu, takes a beat with a dramatic premiere anchored by flashbacks before the second episode picks up in the aftermath of the emotionally tumultuous Season 2 finale, which saw the soft opening of the restaurant but the likely end of Carmy’s (Emmy winner Jeremy Allen White) relationship with Claire (Molly Gordon). Despite the super-charged atmosphere of the early episodes, this might just be the series’ funniest season yet. So take that, everyone who ever complained the show wasn’t actually a comedy!

The 10-episode new season comes on the heels of the first round of Emmy voting. While the Christopher Storer-created series is eligible this year for its second season,...

As dangerous criminals close in and her husband vanishes,...

Eva Longoria's Land of Women has a strong 87% critics' score but a low 31% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. Both scores are based on a small number of ratings, meaning they could evolve if more people watch the show. Longoria's acting career over the past decades has been fairly mixed regarding critical and audience reception.

Eva Longoria's return to TV with Land of Women is dividing audiences and critics on Rotten Tomatoes. Perhaps best known for her starring role in Desperate Housewives, Longoria now graces the small screen once more with a comedic thriller series on Apple TV+ from creator Ramn Campos. Land of Women stars Longoria as Gala, a woman who must flee with her family after her husband becomes involved in financial crimes.

Land of Women is a dramedy starring Eva Longoria as Gala, a well-to-do New Yorker who has her life turned upside down when her husband fails to repay a debt to the wrong people. With dangerous criminals searching for her family and now vanished husband, Gala is forced to leave the city with her aging mother Julia (Carmen Maura) and teenage daughter Kate (Victoria Baza) to her mother's hometown in northern Spaina place that Julia fled 50 years agoto start life anew and hope their identities remain hidden.

How to Watch “Land of Women” When: Wednesday, June 26, 2024 Where: Apple TV+ Stream: Watch with...

The characters on Land of Women are, generally speaking, not having a great time. Gala (Eva Longoria) is a posh New Yorker who’s just discovered that her feckless husband (James Purefoy’s Fred) is $15 million in the hole to loan sharks. Fearing for her life, she flees to rural Spain with her teenage daughter, Kate (Victoria Bazúa), and mother, Julia (Carmen Maura). Neither of them are thrilled to have their lives upended at a moment’s notice, and once there, they’re only temporarily out of danger anyway.

But if the events of the Apple TV+ series are stressful for its characters, they’re downright relaxing for us as viewers. Once the family has arrived in La Muga, the crime-thriller plot machinations take a back seat to a sun-dappled fantasy of small-town life, cut with tart humor and some minor soap operatics. In the wrong hands, this could be...

This week, AppleTV+ brings us Land of Women, starring Eva Longoria as Gala, a woman who has to flee her luxurious Manhattan life when a couple of hired goons crash the opening of her brand-new wine shop to say her husband Fred (James Purefoy) owes their boss $15 million. Gala gathers her mother Julia (Carmen Maura) and teen daughter Kate (Victoria Bazua) and sets off for La Muga, Julia’s hometown in Catalonia, to hide from Fred’s shady creditor and plot her next move.

Land of Women is described as a dramedy, but having watched it all and found it perfectly pleasant, I can report that the “-medy” half of the portmanteau isn’t the kind that’s going to make many viewers laugh out loud. What it does have going for it, much more so than jokes, is absolutely off-the-charts chemistry between Longoria’s Gala and Amat (Santiago Cabrera...

With the beginning of summer comes a strong desire to go on vacation overseas and escape from the hardships of everyday life. When traveling isn't an option, a series like Apple TV+'s Land of Women does the trick, since it is centered on a "girls trip" to a picturesque small town in northern Spain, where miles of vineyards occupy both sides of the road. Although the reasoning behind the getaway is far from a simple wish to live an adventure in an unknown place, Gala's (Eva Longoria) last-minute plan to board a plane with her elderly mother Julia (Carmen Maura) and her teen daughter Kate (Victoria Bazua) makes for an unexpectedly life-changing ride. Although Apple TV+'s multicultural production, with cast and crew from both Spain and the US, has its faults, Land of Women is a breezy, feel-good show that viewers can resort to when traveling to Europe isn't feasible.

Land of Women features a compelling dynamic between three generations of women. The miniseries' crime subplot detracts from the overall tone and narrative. The depiction of intergenerational tensions and women's strength are its standout features.

The Apple TV+ miniseries Land of Women (Tierra de Mujeres) is an intergenerational drama-comedy that reels you in right away, despite a mildly distracting subplot. Wine connoisseuse Gala (Eva Longoria) has a settled life in New York, until criminals demanding $15 million back from her husband drive her out of the country. Her husband only tells her she needs to flee before disappearing himself, so Gala collects her daughter Kate (Victoria Bazua) and mother Julia (Carmen Maura) and travels to the remote wine town in northern Spain Julia fled decades earlier with no idea what to do next.

Eva Longoria is putting a lot of thought into who she surrounds herself with in movies and TV shows.

The actress-filmmaker recently admitted to People magazine that she only wants “to work with people I love,” naming friends and fellow actresses Kerry Washington and Gabrielle Union as an example.
