The film offering of the day features two masterpieces of different kinds, an unforgettable drama by Stanley Donen, Two on the Road, and a cryptic but fascinating film by David Lynch, Mulholland Drive. Antena 3 broadcasts the last of the three Pasapalabra specials entitled “Night of Champions”. In La 2, The Thematic Night contains two documentaries about the secrets of the secret services. In addition, DMAX is broadcasting a new date with the documentary series 091: Police Alarm.
Another date with police work
9 p.m., DMAX
DMAX – Spain.
The series 091: Police Alert continues on DMAX with the aim of showing the daily work of law enforcement on the Spanish streets. This part describes, among other things, how the interception of more than five thousand kilos of cocaine in a container in the port of Barcelona triggers the alarm of the agents, who launch an operation to stop another possible drug dump.
“Two on the way”
10 p.m., TCM
1996-98 AccuSoft Inc., All rights reserved
Two for on the go. United States, 1967 (106 minutes). Directed by: Stanley Donen. Actors: Audrey Hepburn, Albert Finney.
One of the greatest films of the sixties, in which the great Stanley Donen tells the story of a marriage in crisis. Two on the Road builds a story without chronology, showing different passages in the couple's life without temporal continuity, supported by an invaluable duo of protagonists.
Final of the “Night of Champions”
10/22, antenna 3
The third part of Pasapalabra's Night of Champions pits two of the best competitors in the program's history against each other. Roberto Leal will mediate as presenter between Orestes Barbero, who took part in 360 broadcasts, and Luis de Lama, who took part in 84 broadcasts, and will face each other in a duel for the jackpot of 100,000 euros.
“Mulholland Drive”
10:30 p.m., Sundance
USA, 2002 (150 minutes). Director: David Lynch. Cast: Naomi Watts, Laura Harring, Ann Miller, Dan Hedaya.
Two years after the masterful “A True Story,” David Lynch returned to his dreamlike and disturbing surroundings. The symbolic journey of a young aspiring actress and another who has lost her memory traces several intersecting stories; although they may be the same when viewed from different angles. The disturbing images from Mulholland Drive raise many questions but provide few answers. Perhaps that is why Lynch himself confessed that he did not know the significance of the disturbing result of this unclassifiable work.
Secrets of Intelligence, in “The Theme Evening”
11:45 p.m., La 2
The thematic space evening delves into the secrets of intelligence thanks to two documentaries. “The Man Who Stole Einstein's Brain” follows in the footsteps of Dr. Thomas Harvey, the pathologist who performed Albert Einstein's autopsy and stole the scientist's brain, hoping it would reveal the source of his genius. Later, Intelligence Revealed examines the fact that IQ declines as society progresses, but also whether this scale is an appropriate measure of human intelligence.
