An intimate film for a more adult audience and a series for the whole family, from the Disney factory, are Patricio Sánchez Jaúregui's movie recommendations for this month.

On low heat, a film aimed at an adult audience and a lover of cinema and the saga of Percy Jackson and the Gods of Olympus are the proposals of movies and series to watch this month.

On a low flame

At the end of the 19th century, a great French chef lives a relationship of complete devotion to food and to a woman. Through the art of gourmet food, Dodin and Eugénie express their love for each other, a love at once timeless and transitory, like a meal, which persists only in memory.

This is both a hunger-inducing film and an excellent love story superbly acted.

Tran Anh Hung - The smell of green papaya - uses Binoche and Magimel in good measure with the many delicious ingredients in their cinematic pantry to create a beautiful, meaningful and extremely satisfying love story to savor.

A contemplative, precious film that displays an irresistible sensitivity and tenderness.

Percy Jackson and the Gods of Olympus

Disney resurrects a stimulating and interesting saga by bringing to our televisions a faithful adaptation of Rick Riordan's novels. Percy Jackson and the Gods of Olympus is a loving odyssey through adolescence and myth.

A dangerous quest, an adventure, an odyssey. Overcoming monsters and gods, Percy must travel across America to return Zeus' master lightning bolt and stop an all-out war.

With the help of fellow missionaries Annabeth and Grover, Percy's journey will bring him closer to the answers he seeks: how to fit into a world where he feels out of place and discover who he is meant to be.

A series whose first season is an adventure, friendship and adolescence in a hero's journey for all audiences.
