“Era un hombre hecho, e incluso deshecho, en la fragua de la expresión corporal, un hombre que controlaba y conocía todos los recovecos de su organismo como a las palmas de sus manos, y a las palmas de sus manos como al mapa orográfico de Siria, su tierra natal.” Secuela de Best Seller, El área 18 narra otra misión del aventurero internacional sirio. Congodia, un pequeño país africano, ha logrado su independencia y el desarrollo de su economía a través de su equipo nacional de fútbol. Allí, monumentos a futbolistas decoran plazas y museos, en las universidades se dictan seminarios sobre córneres y el edificio más importante es el estadio Bombassi, construido en el cráter de un volcán. Pero Congodia se encuentra en una situación geográfica estratégica y las apuestas se tornan cada vez más fuertes. Es entonces cuando una corporación internacional decide armar un conjunto capaz de obtener la victoria: una caterva de mercenarios que debe vencer a la selección de Congodia. Best Seller, su capitán, es el único hombre que puede conducirlos al éxito.

“Nos persiguieron, señor, nos persiguieron. Mismamente que animales, no que cristianos. Nos echaron de todas partes, señor, nos quitaron todo. Usted nos ve ahora así, débiles y desparramados, señor, pero los salileros supimos ser fuertes.” “¡Salíle! ¡Salíle!”, le gritaban los hinchas a su equipo para que les hicieran frente a los rivales. Eso era cuando los salileros jugaban en primera división y debían enfrentarse a Boca, River o San Lorenzo, que se iban humillados de la cancha. Pero una historia de persecución por parte de los árbitros los condujo hasta la “C”, y fueron relegados al olvido. Puro fútbol reúne todos los cuentos relacionados con el deporte favorito de los argentinos, escritos por Fontanarrosa e incluidos en sus otros libros, desde Los trenes matan a los autos y otros cuentos hasta Una lección de vida y otros cuentos. La pasión “canalla” del Negro, sumada a su dominio de la jerga futbolística y de los estereotipos de los hinchas y de los periodistas deportivos, dan como resultado esta excepcional compilación.

Alejandro, ''El Mono'', is dead. His brother and friends, inseparable since childhood, push back their grief to focus on Guadalupe, El Mono's daughter. Their goal is to give the little girl the love they felt for their friend and secure her future. But El Mono had emptied his bank account to buy a soccer player, a young man who showed a lot of promise but didn't live up to it, currently on loan to a third-rate club in the provinces. The three hundred thousand dollars invested in him about to vanish into thin air. How do you sell a forward who doesn't score? How do you navigate the waters in a place where you don't know the rules? How do you remain united when each failure creates invisible wedges in long-standing loyalties?

  «Creo que si alguien supiese la historia de mi vida la vería como una vida mal vivida, llena de secretos, traiciones, ocultamientos. Pero en esta historia en la que casi todo lo que hago lo hago mal, me permito creer que hay una cosa, una sola cosa, que hago bien.»\
 Lo mucho que te amé es la nueva novela de Eduardo Sacheri. Una historia que nos lleva a la década del 50 en Buenos Aires, en el seno de una familia de origen español. Cuenta la historia de Ofelia, una de las cuatro hermanas Fernández Mollé, una muchacha formal, feliz, a punto de casarse. Pero una tarde su vida cambia abruptamente para convertirse en una maraña de sentimientos encontrados: delicia, inquietud, felicidad, incertidumbre, miedo y mucha culpa. Con grandes vaivenes interiores y a través de difíciles decisiones, se va convirtiendo en una mujer adulta que enfrenta a su propio modo las circunstancias que le han tocado. La crítica ha dicho...«Sacheri logra como pocos darles una proyección universal a las historias que cuenta. Historias de gente común donde lo cotidiano se vuelve épico.»Juan José Campanella «Sacheri ha revivido el relato futbolístico en tanto género literario importante con cautivadores cuentos que usan el deporte como prisma para mostrar las idiosincrasias de su nación.»Jonathan Gilbert, The New York Times \
  Sobre La noche de la Usina:\
 «Sacheri maneja con extraordinario pulso, y con felices destellos expresivos, la preparación y consecución del robo, perpetrado por gente trabajadora y tenaz que convierte su torpeza en una épica del ingenio de los pobres.»Francisco Solano, Babelia «... esa sabia mezcla entre comedia y drama que preside buena parte de una novela (#) repleta de diálogos ocurrentes, de un humor desencantado y corrosivo. Un humor que nos recuerda al mejor Cortázar de Historias de cronopios y de famas por sus equívocos, por la deliciosa ambigüedad y sus habituales juegos de palabras.»José Belmonte Serrano, Zenda

En un pueblo perdido de la provincia de Buenos Aires, muchas cosas están a punto de extinguirse.

North Korea, formerly known as the hermit kingdom, is perhaps the largest source of instability as regards world peace. Its border is one of the most militarized in the world. The lack of impartial information, both inside and coming out of the country, is the perfect setting for a propaganda war, which will be analyzed in the film through numerous examples of the surprising way in which information is manipulated, in and about North Korea. Alejandro Cao de Benos, the sole foreigner who works for the DPRK Government, and many locals will show us their vision of the reality in North Korea. The other side of the story will be reflected through interviews to South Korean citizens, human rights advocates, diplomats, propaganda experts, etc.

What if every memory that haunts you could be erased? What if something truly horrific had happened to you and the person who loves you most could wipe that from your mind? Would you want them to?

Born January 22, 1961, the late Daniel Johnston began expressing himself through art as a child while doctors struggled to accurately diagnose his unusual behavior. In addition to drawing prolifically, he began using a boombox record curiously stirring songs to cassette tape in high school. Following his brother to Texas, he eventually landed in Austin, working unskilled jobs while continuing to record and self-distribute music to friends and friendly strangers. It was clear to everyone that Daniel was not a typical artist - a disquieting innocence, with references to both light and dark spiritual forces, were evident throughout his work. It was this distinctive voice that compelled local musicians to share his art beyond Austin's city limits, culminating in respected indie musicians like Tom Waits, Beck, and Wilco to either record his songs or reach out to collaborate. Four years in the making, THE DEVIL AND DANIEL JOHNSTON honors the complex artistry of Daniel Johnston while exploring how bipolar disorder and schizophrenia distorted his behavior and informed his haunting work.

In a rare and refreshing reversal of roles, filmmakers put the powerful Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA for short) under the microscope for inspection in Academy Award-nominated director Kirby Dick's incisive look at stateside cinema's most notorious non-censoring censors. Compelled by the staggering amount of power that the MPAA ratings board wields, the filmmaker seeks out the true identities of the anonymous elite who control what films make it to the multiplex. He even goes so far as to hire a private investigator to stake out MPAA headquarters and expose Hollywood's best-kept secret. Along the way, Dick speaks with numerous filmmakers whose careers have been affected by the seemingly random and sexual-content obsessed judgments of the MPAA, including

Errol Morris's unique documentary dramatically re-enacts the crime scene and investigation of a police officer's murder in Dallas, Texas. Briefly, a drifter (Randall Adams) ran out of gas and was picked up by a 16-year-old runaway (David Harris). Later that night, they drank some beer, smoked some marijuana, and went to the movies. Then, their stories diverged. Adams claimed that he left for his motel, where he was staying with his brother, and went to sleep. Harris, however, said that they were stopped by police late that night, and Adams suddenly shot the officer approaching their car. The film shows the audience the evidence gathered by the police, who were under extreme pressure to clear the case. It strongly makes a point that the circumstantial evidence was very flimsy. In fact, it becomes apparent that Harris was a much more likely suspect and was in the middle of a crime spree, eventually ending up on Death Row himself for the later commission of other crimes. Morris implies that the DA's and the judge's desire for the death penalty in this case (for which Harris would have been ineligible because of his youth) made Adams a scapegoat on whom to pin this heinous crime.
