![]() Comment les cineastes dont les œuvres nous importent aujourd'hui travaillent-ils ? Selon quels principes et donnees specifiques s'elaborent leurs pratiques ? Et de quelle façon les strategies qu'ils mettent en place, les solutions concretes qu'ils sont amenes a echafauder repondent aux exigences de leur projet artistique ?. Les demarches d'un ensemble de cineastes sont ici explorees au cours d'un cheminement qui, s'il en passe par l'analyse esthetique, veille a restituer de façon concrete les pratiques propres a chacun. Une large place est accordee a leurs paroles et aux documents temoignant de leur travail : autant de donnees mettant a jour l'elaboration empirique et l'inventivite des pratiques qui ont cours aujourd'hui. |

![]() "Others" in arms: TV's latest paranormal drama has some heavy genre hitters behind it. Dr. Cyclops: Wild and winning Asian fare; "Warlock"; the end of innovation. Ready Kruger: A new screenwriter tackles the satoric terrors of "Scream 3." "Destination": Fear: In this chiller, a group of students discover that the one thing they can't cheat is death. Here's the "Pitch": It's a planet where night falls every 23 years - and horrible things emerge when it does. "Super" Man: Action veteran Walter Hill found "Supernova" fraught with challenge on both sides of the camera. Talent to Byrne: That's Gabriel Byrne, the suave, sardonic Satan scaring Schwarzenegger in "End of Days." Noggin on Kevin's door: Replaced as director on "Sleepy Hollow," FX wixard Kevin Yagher still kept his head. "Living" La Vida Muerto: You won't want to be caught alive in Full Moon's "The Dead Hate The Living." Running "The Green Mile": Frank Darabont went directly back to jail without passing Go for his second Stephen King film. "Organ" exposed: Inside a Japanese shocker that cuts to the heart (and stomach and intestines) of the matter. The spirit of youth: "Believe" spins the touching story of a boy and his not-necessarily-friendly ghost. DVD/Laser spotlight: "Nightmare" set a dream come true; the "Blair" facts; an "Army" of extras. Nightmare library: Monteleone's latest to reckon with; a book "Worse Than Death." |

![]() Gli altri inferni o del sexy-conventuale: Uno dei filoni piu scabrosi del nostro cinema di genere, per scoprire tutto quello che avviene tra le mura di un convento di clausura. Le monache nel peccato di Joe D'Amato: Regista atipico e assolutamente votato al genere erotico, Joe D'Amato ha diretto due dei piu discussi film del filone sexy-conventuale. Il complesso di Gertrude: I diversi modi in cui il cinema italiano ha raccontato i crimini, i misfatti e gli eccessi della vita di Marianna di Leyva, la Monaca di Monza. Porno in confessionale: Quando il cinema delle luci rosse va in Paradiso. Non commettere atti impuri: Diretto da Vittorio De Sisti, Sesso in confessionale, un film inchiesta sulle 'perversioni' sessuali di suore e preti. ...E non liberarci dal male: La censura in Italia e i film tacciati di blasfemia. Da Godard a Cipri e Maresco, storia di un' infamia. La commedia messianica: Cosa succede quando si scherza coi santi? Renzo Arbore, Beppe Grillo, Francesco Salvi e Adriano Celentano alle prese con il trascendentale. Il Vangelo secondo Gesu: Stigmate, horror polemico, ispirato ai misteri del Vaticano. A vent'anni dall'Esorcista orrore e religione tornano a far parlare di se Dogma: un film che fa paura?: Tutto sul controverso film di Kevin Smith che pone in dubbio l'esistenza di Dio. In Italia e stata rinviata l'uscita a dopo il Giubileo. L'intervista: Gabriele Lavia: Un attore fuori dal comune, che al cinema come a teatro ha sempre interpretato personaggi scomodi e controcorrente. I suoi film come regista raccontano la storia di un amore malato, sessualmente distorto e impossibile; nonche le frustrazioni e alienazione della societa moderna. In questa intervista senza 'censura' Gabriele Lavia racconta il suo mondo, i suoi incubi e le sue ossessioni. Fuori moda - Gli onorevoli attori: Riscoperto il film 'cult' di Claudio Racca con i politici nel ruolo di se stessi: quando il teatrino della politica passa sul grande schermo. In nero: Atti sessuali di violenza insensata e La morte quando te l'aspetti: Il sesso e la violenza di Base moie, il film che ha sconvolto la Francia, e lo slasher di Destinazione finale, delineano i nuovi confini dell'horror. Morsi al vento: Rondo del vecchio Charles Spencer Chaplin dettosi Charlot Stelle e stelline del cinema italiano Il peccato di una Monika: Bella, bionda e brava. Monika Zanchi, l'attrice svizzero-bergamasca che ha attraversato il cinema italiano come una meteora e ha prestato il suo volto e il suo corpo al filone erotico/esotico, da Emanuelle e gli ultimi cannibali a Le notti erotiche di Cleopatra. L'occhio del testimone: Galleria fotografica con i migliori "scatti" da set di Franco Vitale In memoria: l'eretico Gassman: Un ritratto inedito per non dimenticare il grande Vittorio. Lo spirito natalizio di South Park: Irriverenti, volgari e controversi, sono i bambini pestiferi di South Park, il cartone animato 'cult' di fine Millennio. |

So long as you can find a cinema brave enough to show them. Billy Connoly: The hirsute Scot answers all your questions.

Rowling, 12 year-old Daniel Radcliffe, director Chris Columbus and a host of others in a bid to reveal the magician's best kept secrets. The Others: Starring Nicole Kidman, produced by her ex and directed by a 29 year-old Spanish wunderkind. The Seventh Sense, anyone? Ghost World: Comic creator Daniel Clowes draws an exclusive picture of life on the set of the Ghost World, the movie version of his cult graphic novel. Billy Bob Thornton: He may be married to one of the most beautiful women in the world, but as a boy, Billy Bob had designs on somebody very different. A barmy but brilliant interview. The making of The Evil Dead: Director Sam Raimi and star Bruce Campbell talk demons and Vaseline. Apocalypse Now: Chopper attack: All the method and madness - and what you see on screen doesn't come close to what happened off camera - behind perhaps the greatest action set-piece in movie history.

![]() Highly regarded German cinematographer Frank Griebe (Run, Lola, Run) reteamed with director Tom Tykwer on this epic and visually stunning adapatation of the critically acclaimed 1985 "historical horror" novel by Patrick S?skind. Set in 18th-century France, the film tells the chilling tale of Jean-Baptiste Grenouille (Ben Whishaw), a perfumer's apprentice whose incredible sense of smell leads him on an obsessive pursuit of the perfect scent - whose secret ingredient requires him to murder a series of young girls. Shot in Germany, France and Spain, Perfume became a box-office sensation during its fall 2006 theatrical run in Germany, and will have a two-tiered release in the United States in late December (limited) and mid-January (wide). The Invisible ASC International Award Tribute to Sven Nykvist, ASC The February issue's departments will also offer illuminating insights: Global Village will present an interview with cinematographer Hyung-ku Kim about his work on the South Korean horror/comedy/sci-fi thriller The Host, in which a mutant creature emerges from Seoul's Han River and proceeds to terrorize the populace.

In addition, we will assess the new DVDs of Reflections in a Golden Eye (1967), shot by Aldo Tonti, and Lady Vengeance (2005), shot by Jeong-hun Jeong.

Cinematographers Jim Whitaker and Tom Lappin will detail their collaboration on the project, which is scheduled to be released in the year 2011. Post Focus will offer a piece about Cineric's restoration of Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964), shot by Gilbert Taylor, BSC, as well as an overview of Sohonet's new North American headquarters, which opened recently in Los Angeles.

![]() Adapted from the darkly complex graphic novel considered the finest and most influential of its genre, Watchmen, directed by Zack Snyder, called for a seamless blending of practical and visual effects, makeup and miniatures to bring the story's band of misfit superheroes and villains to the big screen. Visual effects supervisor John 'DJ' DesJardin oversaw the work at Sony Pictures Imageworks, The Moving Picture Company, Intelligent Creatures and CIS Hollywood, while Joel Whist supervised special effects. Greg Cannom's Drac Studios contributed prosthetic makeups, and Global Effects fabricated custom suits. Coraline: A Handmade World; Article by Joe Fordham In Coraline, director Henry Selick returns to the genre of stop-motion animation with a fantasy feature - his first to be shot in 3D - based on a novella by Neil Gaiman about an inquisitive young girl who walks through a secret door in her new home and discovers an alternate version of her life that seems more attractive than the real one. Puppetry and animation on a grand scale was provided by Laika Entertainment, making its theatrical film debut. Director of photography Pete Kozachik captured the stereoscopic effects, and visual effects supervisor Brian Van't Hul oversaw extensive postproduction work. The Spirit: Summoning the Spirit; Article by George Mo?se Master graphic novelist Frank Miller, in his solo directing debut, taps into the oeuvre of renowned 1940s-era comic-book artist Will Eisner for his adaptation of The Spirit, a crime story about a rookie cop who returns from the dead as a masked vigilante. Told in the signature style of Miller's Sin City and 300, The Spirit's hybrid live-action/CG approach featured stark, noir-ish, all-CG environments composited into minimalist greenscreen sets. Visual effects supervisor Stu Maschwitz led the work at The Orphanage, Digital Dimension, Rising Sun Pictures and six other supporting companies. Changeling: Urban Renewal; Article by Jody Duncan Visual effects supervisor Michael Owens discusses the challenges of re-creating 1920s Los Angeles for director Clint Eastwood's period drama Changeling, based on the true story of a woman who takes on the corrupt Los Angeles Police Department following the abduction of her young son by a pedophile serial killer. Inkheart: Into Inkworld; Article by Jody Duncan A bookbinder has the power to conjure characters in and out of books through the act of reading them aloud in the fantasy adventure Inkheart, directed by Iain Softley. Seeking photorealism, Softley and visual effects supervisor Angus Bickerton made judicious use of visual effects by Double Negative, The Senate, Cinesite, Rainmaker and Peerless Camera Company, while relying heavily on practical effects by special effects supervisor Paul Corbould, and miniatures by Mattes & Miniatures. |

![]() Based on the novel by Richard Yates, Revolutionary Road depicts the crumbling marriage of an appealing young couple (played by Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet) who appear to have it all. The picture, set in 1955, reunited director Sam Mendes and cinematographer Roger Deakins, ASC, BSC, and marks a dramatic departure from their first collaboration, Jarhead (2005). Roger's selflessness in adapting his style to the requirements of the story at hand is remarkable - and it is selflessness, Mendes tells AC senior editor Rachael K. Bosley. He's a master at cutting a suit according to its cloth. For this story, says Deakins, the key was simplicity. It's a film about a marriage falling apart in this supposedly idyllic suburbia, he says. When you've got a story like that and two great actors, you want to see them act; you don't need or want to do anything that messes about with that. AC's coverage includes an interview with set decorator Debra Schutt, who was tasked with locating or creating the practicals that were integral to Deakins lighting scheme. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button Claudio Miranda discusses his collaboration with director David Fincher on this visually ambitious adapation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's 1922 short story about a man who ages backwards with strange and surreal consequences. Miranda explain his aesthetic approach to the eight decades depicted in the film, and also offers his thoughts on working with the Thomson/Grass Valley Viper FilmStream camera and workflow. Defiance Eduardo Serra, ASC, AFC went on location to the Republic of Lithuania with writer/director Ed Zwick to shoot this epic World War II drama. The film tells the tale of three Jewish brothers who escape from Nazi-occupied Poland into the Belarussian Forest, where they join Russian resistance fighters in an attempt to build a village that will help protect themselves and others. Serra discusses the production's location work and his working relationship with Zwick, for whom he previously shot Blood Diamond. ASC Lifetime Achievement Award Jack Green, ASC received the ASC Lifetime Achievement Award at the 23rd Annual ASC Awards ceremony that was held in Los Angeles on February 15, 2009. The Lifetime Award is the Society's highest honor, presented annually to an individual cinematographer who has demonstrated a commitment to excellence over an entire career. Green certainly meets the criterium. He has shot many films for actor/director Clint Eastwood, including Unforgiven (for which he earned Academy Award and BAFTA nominations), The Bridges of Madison County (for which he received an ASC Award nomination), Bird, The Dead Pool, White Hunter Black Heart, The Rookie, A Perfect World, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, True Crime and Space Cowboys. His other credits include Pink Cadillac, Rookie of the Year, The Net, Twister, Speed 2: Cruise Control, Secondhand Lions, 50 First Dates, The 40-Year-Old Virgin and My Best Friend's Girl. Rachael Bosley, AC contributor Jon Silberg will pen a comprehensive overview of Green's life and work. The January issue's departments also offer illuminating insights: Short Takes breaks down the innovative approach cinematographer Raoul Germain took to the art installation Triangle of Need, which he shot in a variety of different formats. Production Slate includes an interview with Sal Totino, ASC about this photography for the intense drama Frost/Nixon, directed by Ron Howard. We also seek out cinematographer Maryse Alberti, director Darren Aronofsky and members of their crew to discuss the critically acclaimed indie drama The Wrestler. Post Focus presents a step-by-step account of how FotoKem helped director Beth McElhenny and cinematographer Chun Ming Huang transfer their short film Still Me from the MiniDV format to 35mm in order to meet the technical requirements for Academy Award consideration. ASC Close-Up offers a profile of cinematographer Gabriel Beristain, ASC, BSC, whose feature-film credits include Dolores Claiborne, The Spanish Prisoner, Blade: Trinity, The Ring Two and The Invisible. |

![]() La segunda entrega de la saga de Crepusculo promete ser mas inquietante y terrorífica que la primera, a medida que la protagonista va penetrando mas profundamente en el mundo de los vampiros. Nuevos personajes se incorporan a la saga configurando un reparto mas amplio para Luna nueva, que esta haciendo furor entre los seguidores de las novelas de Stephenie Meyer. Entrevista: Robert Downey Jr. nos habla de Iron Man 2 Su vuelta a la lista de los mas deseados de Hollywood fue por la puerta grande con el exito de Iron Man y su nominaciOn al Oscar por Tropic Thunder, una guerra muy perra. Ahora, Robert Downey Jr. vuelve a ponerse en la piel de Tony Stark en un ano en el que tambien podremos verle como Sherlock Holmes. El actor neoyorquino esta demostrando que sigue siendo uno de los mejores de su generaciOn y que sus flirteos con la preciada estatuilla dorada no han hecho mas que empezar.

No deja de jugar con la silla, subiendo y bajando la altura, mientras responde pausado y sin ninguna prisa a nuestras preguntas. O de tamborilear sobre la suela de su zapato. Medita siempre lo que va a decir y se le nota muy sosegado, aunque sus gestos demuestran que la procesiOn va por dentro. Es simpatico y agradable, y se siente como en casa entre las paredes del set de El internado donde la entrevista tiene lugar. Ademas de hacer gala de un sentido del humor tan acido como acertado, como cuando alude a un "coitus interruptus" tras ver nuestra entrevista interrumpida por tercera vez. este es Martín Rivas, uno de los jOvenes actores mas admirados, perseguidos e interesantes de la televisiOn espanola. Entrevista: Elena Furiase Se nota que lleva en las venas la sangre de una familia de artistas. Esta relajada, segura y tiene un formidable sentido del humor que llevan la entrevista de su carrera a los problemas de la fama con una naturalidad pasmosa. Cuando responde, lo hace en un tono cercano y maduro, como una amiga de toda la vida. Parece ser que la fama no se le ha subido a la cabeza y esperamos que siga así mucho tiempo. REPORTAJE: Cronicas vampíricas Es sin duda una de las series que mas esta dando que hablar en Estados Unidos, ya sea por su excelente acogida por parte del publico juvenil como por sus magníficos índices de audiencia, que se mantienen semana tras semana. Pero, ¿sera CrOnicas vampíricas flor de un día? ¿Podra soportar las comparaciones con Crepusculo o se mantendra firme entre el publico?

FICHA SERIES DE TV: M*A*S*H COLECCIONABLE HISTORIA DEL CINE Capítulo LIX Cines asiaticos Estamos acostumbrados a consumir cine de nuestro propio entorno, es decir, cine occidental, y ello hace que las propuestas de otras cinematografías se nos antojen exOticas, cuando no extranas o incomprensibles. Sin embargo, hay oro puro escondido en muchas de las producciones facturadas en países como China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Corea, Tailandia... Por ello he decidido dedicar un repaso brevísimo y superficial a estas cinematografías asiaticas que inevitablemente deben formar parte del equipaje de todo cinefilo que se precie. Tal y como advierto siempre, no se trata de un repaso con afan totalizador, sino simplemente de un aperitivo para abrir boca, picar la curiosidad de los paladares exquisitos y hacer que los propios lectores abunden posteriormente, si así lo desean, en sus paseos por el cine de estas cinematografías asiaticas. Un aviso: dada la abundancia de títulos con los que se conocen algunas de estas producciones en Occidente y el hecho de que su explotaciOn no siempre haya llegado a Espana con copias traducidas, incluyo el título original chino en todas las películas para facilitar su localizaciOn.

![]() La segunda aventura de Iron Man promete ser un exito de taquilla, pero ademas se convierte en la pieza esencial para arrancar definitivamente el despliegue del universo Marvel en el cine, abriendo una nueva era a las películas de superheroes en pantalla grande. Entrevista: Johnny Depp Johnny Depp es una de esas personas que para llegar al paraíso previamente han pasado por el infierno. El paraíso en cuestiOn puede referirse perfectamente a su novia/companera de sus ultimos quince anos, Vanessa Paradis, y tambien quizas a su isla-escondite privada en el Caribe. Pero tambien se refleja en la armonía y la felicidad que ha encontrado como padre. De hecho, Depp admite sentirse profundamente protector y dedicado a sus dos hijos, Lily-Rose, de diez anos, y Jack, de siete, y a su amada Vanessa.

![]() Twelve years after his blockbuster film Titanic broke all boxoffice records, filmmaker James Cameron returned to the big screen with Avatar, a science fiction fantasy set on another world, and shot entirely in stereo 3D. Working with a dedicated technical team, Cameron spent four years developing new filmmaking paradigms designed to push the boundaries of performance capture and virtual character creation to unprecedented levels of artistry and sophistication. Weta Digital led the groundbreaking visual effects effort, with support from Industrial Light & Magic, Framestore, Frantic Films, Hybride, Weta Workshop and Stan Winston Studio. 2010: Götterdämmerung; Article by Joe Fordham Envisioning the grandest disaster scenario ever, writer/director Roland Emmerich set his sights on no less than total planetary destruction in the film 2012, featuring a story inspired by an ancient Mayan prediction of impending global cataclysm in that fateful year. Joining Emmerich were longtime collaborators Volker Engel and Marc Weigert, whose studio, Uncharted Territory, served as in-house visual effects unit for the production, and as production hub for the multiple vendors, including Digital Domain, Double Negative, Sony Pictures Imageworks, Scanline, Hydraulx, Crazy Horse and Pixomondo. Special effects supervisor Michael Vezina provided large-scale mechanical effects. The Road: Road to Nowhere; Article by Joe Fordham In The Road, based on Cormac McCarthy's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, a man and his young son embark on a cross-country journey as they struggle to survive the brutal circumstances brought about by an apocalyptic event that has devastated the planet and destroyed the very fabric of civilization. Director John Hillcoat turned to visual effects supervisor Mark Forker, visual effects studios Dive and Crazy Horse, and a handful of supporting vendors to create the film's stark, post-apocalyptic environments. |

![]() En el ano 1981, Ray Harryhausen puso en movimiento sus ultimas obras maestras para la pantalla grande en la primera versiOn de Furia de titanes. El Kraken, Medusa, los escorpiones gigantes, Pegaso, el caballo con alas, animaron las fantasías epicas de toda una generaciOn y ahora regresan en una versiOn completamente nueva, reforzados con un reparto de estrellas y con toda la potencia visual de los efectos especiales de ultima generaciOn para mostrarnos la rebeliOn de Perseo y los hombres contra los dioses del Olimpo. Reportaje: Los mitos griegos en el cine La mitografía arrancO en el siglo XVIII con B. Le Bovier de Fontenelle y Voltaire, tras los cuales y ya en el siglo XIX el filOsofo aleman F. W. Joseph von Schelling abriO camino a otros colegas empenados en el estudio de los mitos, que a su vez oficiaron como precursores de los estudios sobre el mismo asunto desarrollados en el siglo XX por autores como Malinovski, Freud, Jung o Mircea Elíade y Levi-Strauss. Ahora el cine recupera la mitología griega con la nueva versiOn de Furia de titanes, y nosotros aprovechamos para repasar los principales títulos de esta cosmología adaptada al cine. Reportaje: Sam Worthington Sam Worthington prosigue su camino en el cine de aventuras y fantasía con su papel como Perseo en la nueva versiOn de Furia de titanes, que unida a sus trabajos en Terminator: Salvation y la arrolladora fabula de ciencia ficciOn en tres dimensiones Avatar, le ha convertido en una estrella de las superproducciones en tiempo record. Entrevista: Harrison Ford Tras volverse a poner el sombrero de Indiana Jones, Harrison Ford llega este ano produciendo y protagonizando la película Medidas extraordinarias. En el filme, basado en hechos reales, interpreta a un científico instigado por un padre de familia para intentar encontrar la cura a la enfermedad mortal que padecen sus hijos. Una buena oportunidad para reencontrarse con el actor mientras esperamos la quinta entrega de las aventuras de Indy... OTROS ESTRENOS DEL MES Recuerdame, Desde París con Amor, Medidas extraordinarias, Millenium 3, Distrito protegido... SERIES TV. Entrevista: Edward James Olmos Si alguien piensa en un actor de caracter, seguro que la imagen de Edward James Olmos se le pasa por la cabeza. Desde Blade Runner a Galactica, pasando por CorrupciOn en Miami, varias generaciones recordaran a este actor que pasara a la historia de la televisiOn sobre todo como el almirante William Adama. Olmos ha visitado Espana con motivo de la Basauri Con 1.0, primera convenciOn de ciencia ficciOn que se celebra en esa ciudad. El actor aprovecha el inicio de la entrevista para hablarnos de lo maravillado que esta con la convenciOn, con los fans llegados de todo el mundo. Amable, inteligente y con un carino enorme por Battlestar Galactica, Olmos nos habla de la serie y del futuro de esta. Entrevista: Sonia Castelo Aprovecha desde el inicio de la entrevista para agradecer el enorme carino que el publico le ha demostrado por su personaje, Clara, algo que la ha emocionado desde el primer día y que aun la sorprende y emociona. Se le nota a ella tambien una pasiOn especial por la serie y por Clara, un carino y un mimo por este trabajo que sirve perfectamente de puente entre ella y los espectadores. Charlar con ella, con esa mezcla de talento, belleza e inteligencia, es una de esas cosas difíciles de igualar en una entrevista y que uno llega a echar de menos en cuanto termina. Entrevista: Guillermo Barrientos Sentados cara a cara, si hay algo que no se puede dudar de Guillermo Barrientos es que tiene un carisma considerable y una forma muy pasional y personal de vivir las cosas. Cuando habla lo hace deprisa porque tiene mucho que contar, quiza arropado por esa carrera que esta terminando, Ciencias Políticas, y de la que podemos dar fe, ayuda con la locuacidad. Pero no hay nada de atropellado en el. Sabe muy bien lo que dice y por que lo dice y es difícil no pensar en el como líder del reparto en muchos sentidos. Se le nota cuando pasan sus companeros por la entrevista a bromear con el. O cuando se despide incluso de nuestro fotOgrafo. Define su cambio de tercio, de futuro politOlogo a actor, entre risas, "como Ronald Reagan pero al reves, ¿no?", porque siempre ha tenido muy claro que quiere ser actor. Y estamos seguros de que lo es y lo sera por mucho tiempo. Entrevista: Benjamin Picuana Aunque acabe de estrenarse en Los hombres de Paco, no es un recien llegado. Pudimos verle en la divertida Promedio rojo, hace anos, ademas de como pareja de Javier Camara en Fuera de carta. Es reflexivo, pausado al hablar, y demuestra una gran inteligencia y humanidad (aunque su modestia le haga negarlo) a la hora de elegir trabajos y de comportarse en su vida. Embajador de Unicef, denunciO la situaciOn de Haití mucho antes de que fuese portada debido a la catastrofe, por ejemplo. En un pequeno rincOn de la comisaría de Los hombres de Paco, Benjamín se sienta a charlar con nosotros sobre la experiencia de empezar a trabajar en Espana, de la serie y su nueva temporada y de su preocupaciOn por los ninos que padecen penurias a lo largo y ancho del planeta. Y es una charla que se disfruta como pocas.
