As every month, Patricio Sánchez - Jaúregui recommends new releases, classics, or content you haven't seen yet. This month, the two proposals: El niño y la garza and Madre no hay más que una, are in the movie listings.
The boy and the heron
Hayao Miyazaki's presumed swan song is among his most open to interpretation. Through a series of surreal and melancholic images, "The Boy and the Heron" tells the charming and moving story of a boy's coming-of-age process in the face of tragedy.
Beautifully animated, this is a love letter to all the director's fans (Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, Grave of the Fireflies...), sometimes confusing, sometimes clear, but undoubtedly moving.
A beautiful painting that becomes a magical and unforgettable experience. A worthy farewell to an absolutely exceptional artist, that you will want to revisit again and again, just to feel that pure, unadulterated, unfiltered Miyazaki magic.
The boy and the heron
There is only one mother
Documentary, testimony and report. "Mother there is but one" is a tribute to the most relevant figure in the life of human beings on earth, embodied in BlancaBea, Isa, AnaMaria, Olatz .... All of them united by this simple and unfathomable bond: motherhood, and all the circumstances that derive from it. Stories, problems, anecdotes...; surprises, novelties, illnesses... The juggling with work, the prejudices they face when they want to have children, the social or economic difficulties... Tragedy, comedy, life.
There is nothing like the beginning of everything. And that everything that begins, that life, begins inside a person with her laughter, tears, unexpected pregnancies, lost children, many hours without sleep and thousands of unimaginable dreams that come true... In the words of its director: "In a world in which being a mother is an exercise of juggling several at the same time, they deserved this tribute, so that from their mouth and own testimony, we can tell the world how wonderful it is to be a mother... and also to be children".
