True detectives
I'm still struggling with the second season of True Detective...I didn't quit, because there are few episodes left, but I can't say that I care. The dialogues are poorly written and the characters aren't really fleshed out (I just don't believe in them, at all). As for the plot...well better not to talk about that.
Apparently I am not the only one, most viewers are disappointed and the tv critics have been pretty harsh with this season.
In the last two decades, television has often been better than movies, more refreshing and better written, however anyone who loved the first season of True Detective should watch the film I saw yesterday at the cinema.
La Isla Minima is a Spanish film that won 10 Goyas in Spain this year. The story takes place in 1980, in Andalucia, and revolves around two very different cops and their investigation about two missing girls, Estrella and Carmen. The ghost of Franco still haunts the countryside and police in the new democracy often has its roots in the former regime. The landscape is superb; it is a true character in the movie. The swampy banks of the Guadalquivir are just as phantasmagorical as Louisiana was in the tv series. There's one scene, a car chase at night by the river, that is simply thrilling and amazing.
