Barcelona (A Map) / Barcelona (un mapa)
Series: Spanish Cinema Now
Director: Ventura Pons, Country: Spain, Release: 2007, Runtime: 90

One of Spanish Cinema Now’s most frequent and popular guests, Ventura Pons returns with two of his strongest works in years. The first, Barcelona (A Map), is based on a play by Catalan playwright Lluisa Cunillé. The owners of a ramshackle downtown apartment building, Rosa (the long-awaited return to the screen of Nuria Espert, a legend of Spanish theater) and Ramon, call together their tenants. Ramon, formerly a doorman at the opera, announces that he is dying, and that he and Rosa would like to spend their last days alone—so everybody has to leave. The reactions of the tenants are varied and surprising, revealing secrets about their relations with each other as well as with their landlords. Barcelona is never far from the center of Ventura Pons’ concerns in many of his films; here, he effectively transforms the fading world of Rosa and Ramon into a mirror for the city’s rapidly changing life and sensibility.
