Spanish Film Club Presents “Lope”
Andrucha Waddington brings famed Spanish playwright Lope de Vega’s passionate life to the screen.

His childhood friend, Isabel de Urbina, also falls under the spell of his poems. So much seduction eventually brings misfortune and he must flee Madrid.

Tapas For Moviegoers
The Spanish (-speaking) Film Club at the Doris Duke, held this week in conjunction with the Spanish cultural mission, is like a brief vacation. The cine-fiesta shows off familiar lives of quiet desperation, of selves disintegrating under the sway of family stresses–too much daytime television and mind-altering stimulants, among them love.

Spanish Extremes
You won’t find any straightforward rom-coms or family dramas at the 2012 Festival of New Spanish Cinema, landing at SIFF September 27–30. The seven films vary widely, and all concern themselves with beyond-the-norm subjects—one takes place entirely in a bathroom.

Festival of New Spanish Cinema
The shorthand for No Rest for the Wicked, which opens this weekend’s Festival of New Spanish Cinema, would be Bad Lieutenant in Madrid. But Inspector Santos Trinidad (José Coronado) isn’t all bad. Sure, he’s a dissolute drinker who guns down three people in a bar fight, yet his coverup leads to the discovery of some even worse characters. In the new, multiethnic Spain, Trinidad looks something like a disco-era dinosaur with his handlebar mustache and aviator shades. His revolver also makes him a relic, but it leaves no shell casings behind as evidence.
