The unbearable kindness of a stranger

rare seahorn Just as Marisa Berenson said yes to Kubrick, she said yes to Vince Gilligan. Without even reading the script. The first one is “Pluribus” (Apple TV). The second is that of “Barry Lyndon” (Elsa Schiaparelli’s granddaughter found it almost nothing) … When he read it, it had nothing to do with the movie, but what was it? Seehorn had already worked with Gilligan on Better Call Saul, so he said a clear yes, even if he didn’t know what the new project was about. It’s psychological science fiction, he told her. How crazy, she thought as she read the plot. “Pluribus” deals with something like an alien invasion, but it’s not the lizards from “V” that come. They are kind people like Mr. and Mrs. Fernandes. Seehorn’s character, Carol, hates them. And like her, there are a dozen people in the world who are not affected by new happiness or a single thought, where happiness has arrived like the worst plague.

I never expected to love this perplexing series (where Gilligan takes you to places you never imagined) so much. That’s not the case either.”Anatomy of a Moment” I wasn’t going to like it as much as I thought I would. Adaptation of the novel by Javier Cercas director Albert Rodriguez And it’s perhaps too didactic that Movistar Plus+ will premiere on Thursday (20-N). That would be my problem. I’m not sure if this is an imposition (it’s said that viewers should be fed crushed food), but it’s a bit annoying that there’s so much repetition that everything that’s been said is made clear to us. Maybe it should be. What I like is the actor’s portrayal of the character.. Álvaro Morte as Suárez, Eduardo Fernández as Carrillo, Manolo Solo as Gutierrez Mellado, and Juanma Navas as Almada. I think Pedro Casablan as Teodolfo Lagunero is funny, and I’m not sure if Miki Esparve as Don Juan Carlos is worse than Juanjo Puccicorbe in Felipe and Leticia.

The hard part for me is seeing David Lorente as Tejero. It’s not because he’s bad at acting, which is great, but because David Lorente is one of those actors who is always liked no matter what he does (remember the driving school driver in I Don’t Like Driving). And I like him even though he plays Tejero (but the truth is Tejero turned out to be a better guy than Almada). I think that’s interesting too, Alejandra Onieva: Carmen Diez de Riverawhich also doesn’t play a big role. We already know it’s about a coup, but the portrait of Suarez falls short on his rise and is too schematic. This Barry Lyndon from Avila deserves to be talked about more.

Carol, the main character in Pluribus, is a romance novel writer who combines commercial success with personal struggles. And it’s very interesting. Sometimes this American actress reminds me of Eva Martin. The longed-for Marchioness of “Promise”. I like to think of the Marchioness facing every human (or alien) who could be slapped with a fool. The most unlucky person must save the world from the shock of happiness. In the face of the unbearable kindness of strangers.
