That guy who became known, along with Gael García Bernal and Maribel Verdú, in Y tu mamá también (2001), Diego Luna (Toluca de Lerdo, 1979), has just presented his fifth feature as a director, Ceniza en la boca, at the Cannes festival. This adaptation of the novel of the same name by his compatriot Brenda Navarro (published by Sexto Piso), follows the steps of a Mexican teenager, Lucila (Anna Díaz), who migrates to Madrid and then to Barcelona, and synthesizes Luna’s commitment to the fight against racism, classism, and violence, which, as early as 1994, was expressed through the indigenous insurgents of Chiapas.

Michael Jackson was too tempting a candy for the film industry to escape the trend of musical biopics. But Michael, the newly released story of the king of pop, has come to light with more chiaroscuro than a Caravaggio to navigate the multiple mines contained in the artist’s story in a film that began to take shape after the success achieved in 2019 by Bohemian Rhapsody and that had from the beginning the support of Jackson’s heirs.
