Alicia en la España de las maravillas

Alicia en la España de las maravillas 1979

4.10

Four different Alices wander through mazes constructed from 40 years of Spanish history in this post-Franco meditation. Loosely related to the "Alice" of Alice in Wonderland, in one episode of this film, Alice (who is clearly a metaphor for the Spanish people) is raped by some multinational corporations. Told in a somewhat confusing manner, especially for those unfamiliar with the nuances of Spain's history in the period between 1936 and 1975, this is director Jorge Feliu's first feature film.

Taking the stage with the sun sinking in the West, Cheap Trick opened their Reading Festival appearance aptly with the raucous, quick-hittin' action of "Hello There", followed by the power pop rockin' "Come On, Come On". While Robin Zander commanded center stage in his lilly white threads and rock star cool, animated guitarist Rick Nielsen moved about the stage like a hyperactive kid on a pure sugar-binge. Between non-stop pick-flickin', spastic moves and leaps from the riser, Nielsen tortured the fretboard of each and every guitar he strapped-on.

60 Minutes, an Australian version of the U.S. television newsmagazine 60 Minutes, airs on Sunday nights on the Nine Network and is presented in much the same way as the American program on which it is based. The New Zealand version of the show has also featured segments of the Australian version. Gerald Stone, the founding executive producer, was given the job by Kerry Packer and was told: "I don't give a f... what it takes. Just do it and get it right." After the first episode was broadcast on 11 February 1979, Packer was less than impressed, telling Stone: "You've blown it, son. You better fix it fast." Over the years, Stone's award winning 60 Minutes revolutionised Australian current affairs reporting and enhanced the careers of Ray Martin, Ian Leslie, George Negus, and later Jana Wendt. Since it was first broadcast, 60 Minutes has won five Silver Logies, one Special Achievement Logie, and received nominations for a further six Logie awards.
