Santo Domingo de la Calzada, Spain (No. 2)

Santo Domingo de la Calzada is a municipality located in the autonomous community of La Rioja, Spain.

Its name comes from its founder Domingo García, who among others built there a bridge to make the crossing of the river safe, a hospital and a pilgrim hostel, to facilitate the pilgrimage of the Camino de Santiago as it passes through the town.

The miracle of the rooster and the hen is famous, according to which Domingo García is said to have proved the innocence of a pilgrim wrongly accused of death by blowing up a hen that was roasted on the plate. In memory of these events, in the cathedral of Calceatense there is always a rooster and a hen alive and the saying "In Santo Domingo de la Calzada, where the hen sang after roasting" spread. This miracle is also told, with few variants, of the Rooster of Barcelos, Portugal.

2019 marked the millennium of the birth of its founder.

Precisamos permanecer em Cristo para dar frutos.

Cristo nos convida a permanecermos n’Ele para produzirmos os frutos que sejam do agrado do Pai, os frutos do Reino de Deus.  “Permanecei em mim e eu permanecerei em vós. Como o ramo não pode dar fruto por si mesmo, se não permanecer na videira, assim também vós não podereis dar fruto, se não permanecerdes em mim” (João 15, 4).

The Coffee Table (15): Farcical Horror That’s Blacker Than Black.

#onemannsmovies #filmreview of The Coffee Table. #thecoffeetable. A jet-black comedy horror that disturbs but impresses. 4/5.

A One Mann’s Movies review of “The Coffee Table” (2022). Original title: La mesita del comedor. In a world of bland Hollywood cookie-cutter horror films (“Baghead”, “Tarot”, “Imaginary”, yada, yada, yada…), “The Coffee Table” is refreshingly different. Gone are the jump scares. But it is far more horrific and tense than anything I’ve watched this year. Bob the Movie Man Rating: Plot…

THE COFFEE TABLE - Review

AKA - La Mesita del Comedor DISTRIBUTOR: Cinephobia Releasing

SYNOPSIS: In the midst of their loving relationship, Jesús and Maria welcomed their child into the world. As they settled into their new apartment, Maria assumed control over most decisions, including the decoration. During a visit to a furniture store, Jesús asserted his will by selecting a gaudy coffee table, resembling Liberace's misguided venture into Ikea. Maria argues with the salesman, particularly regarding the price and his claims of an "unbreakable" glass top, but Jesús gets his small victory and purchases the coffee table. After bringing the table home and trying to assemble it, Jesús is faced with a screw missing. While he waits for the salesman to deliver the missing piece, Maria heads to the market to purchase groceries for lunch with Jesús's brother and his girlfriend, leaving him alone with their baby. As they go about their day they are unaware that this extravagant, seemingly inconsequential coffee table would be the catalyst for everyone’s horrifying nightmare.

REVIEW: In THE COFFEE TABLE, Caye Casas skillfully merges Hitchcock's mastery of visual perception and David Fincher's climactic tension-building from "Seven," resulting in an immersive and unrelenting cinematic experience. Casas audaciously sustains a dire scenario throughout a grueling 90-minute runtime, crafting a relentless narrative that captivates and unsettles viewers.

The screenplay skillfully constructs the character's arcs through their interactions, adding depth and complexity. The sound design is effectively used to stimulate the viewer's imagination when tragic events occur off-screen. The limited perspectives revealed build suspense and tension as the drama unfolds. A dynamic is established between Jesús and Maria, allowing the viewer to experience the tension before her reintroduction to the apartment after the tragedy. Their intensified interactions, along with the introduction of Jesús's brother and girlfriend, hint at an unfortunate outcome. The viewer's melancholy, based on prior knowledge, mirrors Jesús' emotional state.

The film's climax surprised me, both in its intensity and its conclusion. Early in the story, we meet a 13-year-old character and her pet. As the narrative unfolded, I couldn't help but consider the potential implications of this relationship for the film's dramatic conclusion.

Earlier, I mentioned Hitchcock and Fincher while discussing Caye Casas. Casas is a masterful filmmaker who expertly blends elements from these virtuosos with his unique vision to create a distinctive style. His film excels in suspense and tension, skillfully crafted through framing and editing. Casas gradually builds the suspense, offering brief releases, only to heighten it further, leading the viewer to the brink of an explosive climax. However, instead of revealing the horrific outcome explicitly, he leaves the audience bewildered and provides a nuanced resolution through exposition, focusing on the emotional impact on the individuals involved. Much like great horror films, he plants the seeds of terror, leaving the power of imagination to work its magic. While not shunning gore entirely, he opts for implication rather than graphic depiction.

THE COFFEE TABLE features an exceptional cast. The actors deftly navigate a wide range of emotions, creating an intense and evocative journey. Their performances culminate in a sophisticated emotional crescendo, a harmonious convergence of diverse feelings that builds to a haunting climax. It's like the final chord of the Beatles' "A Day in the Life," leaving a lingering resonance. These are performances that linger in the memory, haunting and captivating in equal measure.

Caye Casas’ THE COFFEE TABLE is a harrowing and masterfully crafted story that takes viewers on an emotionally relentless journey. It's a cinematic experience that leaves an enduring emotional impact on the viewer. The narrative plunges a group of characters into a horrifying nightmare, creating a grueling and nerve-wracking experience..

The film is classified as a “horror comedy,” and while it does have some humorous moments in the opening scene, once the tragedy strikes, any attempts at dark comedy only heighten the overall terror of the story. Caye Casas, the remarkable filmmaker behind this movie, is definitely a name worth keeping an eye on for future projects.

CAST: David Pareja, Estefanía de los Santos, Josep Riera, Claudia Riera, Eduardo Antuña. CREW: Director/Screenplay/Editor - Caye Casas; Screenplay - Cristina Borobia; Producer - Norbert Llaràs; Cinematographer - Alberto Morago; Score - Bambikina; Production Designer - Cristina Borobia; Costume Designer - Maria Márquez.

The Coffee Table

There aren’t many things more innocuous and humdrum than the humble coffee table. Yet, somehow, Spanish director Caye Casas proves that even the most benign household object can be repurposed into a tool of horror. This is what Jesús and María — a couple with a strained marriage and a new-born son — quickly discover in The Coffee Table (or La Mesita del Comedor). The salesman (played by Eduardo…

Santo Domingo de la Calzada, Spain (No. 6)

Plaza del Santo: It is located in front of the cathedral, in the center of the old town. It was in the Santo where at first the most important institutions were concentrated: pilgrim hospital, cathedral and the old dependencies of the council with its prison. The old Hospital of Pilgrims, it is known that it was raised by the hermit Domingo in the second half of the eleventh century, for its realization required a large amount of wood that decided to ask the neighbors of Ayuela. They refused, authorizing him to cut everything he could with the sickle he had hanging on his belt, and the Miracle was done: at each sickle stroke a tree fell. It remained active until in 1840 it moved to the Convent of San Francisco, from that year it was the home of various families, the brotherhood of the saint itself occupied for years two rooms for its civic-religious activities. In 1965 it was rehabilitated as a Parador de Turismo, which is still operating today.

House of Lorenzo de Tejada: Known as the lords of Cirujeda because for almost two centuries the pharmacy that ran the saga of the Cirujeda was located, whose last owners were said to have "taught a horse not to eat, and when it learned it died ...". It highlights a double eaves of carved dogs and florons, the most beautiful of all La Rioja and the royal staircase articulated by Tuscan columns, whose hollow is covered with dome on pendentives, decorated with plasterwork and naïve paintings of popular art.
