La 1 will broadcast the Copa del Rey quarter-final match between Celta and Real Sociedad live. For its part, La 2 delves into the Music from the eighties in this week's issue of Cachitos. History Channel travels to the 9th century with the four-part documentary series “Vikings, the First Kings.” The film selection of the day includes two fundamental films from the cinema of the 1990s, Hidden Agenda by Ken Loach and JFK by Oliver Stone.
“Hidden agenda”
4:15 p.m., Movistar Indie
Hidden agenda. United Kingdom, 1990 (104 minutes). Director: Ken Loach. Cast: Frances McDormand, Brian Cox, Brad Dourif.
The great Ken Loach made a name for himself with one of the greatest films of the 1990s. And the filmmaker has already become one of the figures who most openly questioned society of our time and an author who made his characters symbols of very harsh attacks on Thatcher's British government. In this masterpiece, Loach delves into the political and social sewage of the Northern Ireland conflict. But Hidden Agenda is more than that. It is a film that makes sobriety a first-class element of expression and manages to make the transparency of the production one of the pillars of the story. A work that analyzes the torment of characters faced with intrigue more powerful than any attempt at honesty. The Hidden Agenda story could be happening in hundreds of countries, in all those where abuse of power becomes law.
Copa del Rey: Celta-Real Sociedad

“Cachitos”, with the decade of the eighties
10 p.m., La 2
New wave, films, techno-pop and heavy metal come together in this week's episode of Cachitos de iron ycromo. The program is a homage to the eighties, a true success factory. Using a fictitious cassette, under the title “80's torp parade”, he reviews the pop and rock that filled the radio stations at the time and shaped a type of music in Spain.
“JFK”
10:00 p.m., Hollywood
USA, 1991 (178 minutes). Director: Oliver Stone. Cast: Kevin Costner, Sissy Spaceck, Tommy Lee Jones, Donald Sutherland.
With JFK, Oliver Stone achieved the perfect marriage between his visual style and the dramatic depth that he had sought in his scripts since his success with Platoon. An impeccable film that combines aesthetic textures with a stirring desire while remaining true to the narrative spirit of the great classics. In Stone's hands, Kevin Costner's sober and intense investigation into the mystery of the Kennedy assassination is an essential film in 1990s cinema.
Viking adventures in the 9th century
