THE HAPPY MAN and 53 WINTER DAYS at NYU
Tuesday, February 3 marks the first day of Spanish Women Behind the Camera, a series of ten films showing Tuesdays throughout the month at the King Juan Carlos 1 of Spain Center at NYU. The opening night film is Judith Colell’s directorial debut 53 Winter Days (53 días de invierno) (2006), which Jonathan Holland of Variety described as a “gentle, character-based [film that] interweaves three naturalistic short pieces about troubled lives -one psychological, one emotional, one social — into an unexpectedly resonant, understated whole.” Preceding the feature is Lucina Gil’s short film The Happy Man (El Hombre Feliz) (2006) about the search for a truly “happy man.”
