There is a moment, usually the first Monday of September, when we assume that the holidays are already history. Alarm clocks return, traffic resumes, and schedules regain a pace that seemed forgotten a few weeks earlier. September has always symbolized the return to routine. The difference is that today, we no longer want that routine to resemble what it was ten years ago.
She does not mind being the last representative of a long line of actors dating back to the mid-19th century and including her grandmother Irene Gutiérrez Caba and her great-uncles Julia and Emilio. With more than 25 years of career in film, theater, and television, Irene Escolar has written her own story and still has a long way to go.
Having spots on the skin is one of the most common skin alterations and is caused by multiple factors, such as sun exposure, hormonal changes, or the passage of time, which is why the most effective approach is comprehensive, combining topical treatment with care from within. This is the field of nutricosmetics, the discipline that provides active ingredients orally to promote the health and appearance of the skin.
Never has a summer tasted as bitter as that of 2017, when the people of Barcelona received the news of a mass hit-and-run on La Rambla. Time stood still; vacations were on hold; WhatsApp was on fire. With Cronos, by Fernando González Molina, we relive those 124 hours of anguish until the last terrorist fell, from the other side of the news, as experienced by the communications officer of the Mossos (Patricia Plaja, played by Diana Gómez); a police officer from Ripoll (Mónica López) and Inspector Jordi Rodón, who launched the operation that gives the film its title.
For nearly forty years, Anna Wintour’s most extraordinary talent may not have been deciding what was fashionable, but making her judgment seem unquestionable. Designers, advertisers, celebrities, billionaires, and even one of the world’s great museums learned that a no in front of her could be just the beginning of a negotiation. With John Galliano, for the first time, it stopped being so.
They call it sexalescence, an expression that aims to redefine the life of active sixty-year-olds eager to seize every purpose. It combines sexagenarian and adolescence, suggesting that the 60s can be a kind of new beginning. Sexalescents are active people, with autonomy and more personal time, who move away from the traditional idea of “old age” because they cultivate curiosity and knowledge – whether reading, workshops or reading circles – sports, crafts or travel.
The red steps of Cannes lead to the Olympus of cinephilia, and Victoria Luengo (Palma, 1990) climbed them twice in the past edition. The late Marisa Paredes was the only Spaniard who could boast such an honor. Luengo climbed them with Pedro Almodóvar and his Bitter Christmas, and again arm in arm with Javier Bardem for The Beloved, by Rodrigo Sorogoyen, an original from Movistar Plus that arrives in theaters on August 15.
Since the beginning of time, the passion for observing the stars has been a constant in the history of humanity. The night sky, with its vast darkness sprinkled with bright lights, not only awakened the curiosity of our ancestors but also became the first great canvas of human imagination, a mirror to reflect myths, fears, and hopes. Today, the rise of astrotourism shows that this ancestral passion remains intact.
For many travelers, cemeteries have a special charm. The charm of peace, silence, and connection with the past… Some do not leave Paris without wandering for a few minutes through the tree-lined paths and the sumptuous mausoleums of Père-Lachaise. In tours of Prague, a visit to the old Jewish cemetery is usually included, with that sea of tombstones that seem to eternally clash. In Vienna’s Zentralfriedhof are the graves of great composers like Beethoven, Schubert, and Brahms… Well, the small civil cemetery of Bausen has none of these attractions. Its essence is smallness. A tombstone, a real love, and a legend.
The director of Pink Flamingos said a phrase that has the insolence of good aphorisms. It sounds like a joke, but it might be a theory about love. “If you go to someone’s house and they don’t have books, don’t sleep with them.” Waters was not making a plea in favor of literature. Not at all. He was defending something else: the ability of objects to tell who we are. A library does not guarantee intelligence or sensitivity, but it does leave a trace, just like certain lamps, a bookshelf full of records, a fridge, or a wall covered with photographs. The casual and biting Waters, author of phrases like “After 25 years old, you can’t wear skinny pants,” once pointed out as his favorite website the hilarious Lurid Digs, created by Frederick Woodruff to show bizarre domestic interiors of gays in photos taken from dating app profiles.
