Olivia Wilde's third feature film (after the hilarious the hilarious Booksmart and the uneven Don't Worry Darling) dismantles the myth that the original is always better than the copy. Wilde and her team of screenwriters (two excellent comedic actors, Rashida Jones and Will McCormack) imbue the text of Cesc Gay's play, The People Upstairs, and its film adaptation, its film adaptation, Sentimental, with breakneck speed and contagious energy. The story is the same: two couples of neighbors, a single space, a married couple's apartment, and a very indecent sexual proposition. But the script variations by Wilde and her team, as well as the dizzying speed of an edit that accelerates the characters' clashing reactions, transform The Invitation into a neurotic comedy that recalls an era of American cinema, that of films by Elaine May, Paul Mazursky, and Mike Nichols, where the comedy genre also served to address adult issues; in this case, the questioning of marriage and heterosexual romanticism.

A few days before its theatrical release The Black Ball, the troupe of the Javis has revolutionized the San Sebastián Festival, where the film was screened for the first time in the country on the same day it won the audience award at the Toronto Festival, a new boost in its race towards the Oscars. In the film, Penélope Cruz (Alcobendas, 1974) plays a small but essential role, a kind of cabaret singer who serves as inspiration for the gay soldier from the Francoist side played by Guitarricadelafuente.

Thirty-four years after presenting Jamón, jamón, by Bigas Luna, at the Venice Film Festival, the couple formed by Javier Bardem and Penélope Cruz has returned to walk the red carpet of the Italian event for the premiere of Bunker, the new work by the French playwright and filmmaker Florian Zeller. This is the seventh time that the Spanish acting couple has shared the big screen. In this case, they play a married couple consisting of a successful architect and an editor. The couple lives in London, with their two daughters, in a privileged situation, a “comfort” that seems to have shattered the woman's existential well-being. This unstable situation is jolted by the appearance of a technology tycoon who offers the architect the construction of a bunker in Hawaii.

In the midst of promoting his new film, F1. The movie, in which he shares the bill with Brad Pitt, Javier Bardem has given an interview with the New York Times explaining some intimate details he doesn't usually talk about, such as his family. The actor has explained how the birth of his two children, Leo and Luna, impacted him and, especially, his wife, Penélope Cruz. "The pregnancy wasn't so bad. The depression that followed was. She wasn't able to talk about it; it was very new to her," he recalls.
