"The Swimmer" (1968) contiene una de las actuaciones más memorables de #BurtLancaster, el personaje del cual pretende cruzar a nado la zona donde reside colándose en las piscinas de sus vecinos. 🏊‍♂️ Adaptación del relato homónimo de #JohnCheever. 🥃

"El nadador", quizá el relato más célebre de cuantos escribiera #JohnCheever, posee la particularidad de estar narrado desde el punto de vista de un alcohólico. De ahí el delirio de su percepción distorsionada de la realidad. "La radio enorme", en cambio, aborda el tema de la curiosidad morbosa. 🏊‍♂️

Cuando atravieso un río pienso en EL NADADOR de #JohnCheever. Su protagonista quiere regresar a casa cruzando antes las piscinas de sus vecinos, como si estuvieran unidas por un canal secreto. Yo intento regresar a casa cruzando todos los ríos del mundo.

CUATRO ROSAS, de #PabloEscuderoAbenza, ganó el XXIII Premio de Teatro José Martín este mismo año. La obra trata sobre #JohnCheever & #RaymondCarver, y su relación con el alcohol, los talleres de escritura, la soledad, los moteles y el desencanto ante el sueño americano. Es una maravilla.

The clearing wind had begun to blow. As the overcast was displaced with brilliance and color, as more and more light poured into the valley, the hour seemed tumultuous and exalting. Backgammon and gin.

theartsdesk Q&A: Gary Oldman on playing John Cheever in 'Parthenope' and beating the booze
Gary Oldman has always lived life to the fullest, on screen and off. Maybe that's why he is often at his best in his pitch-perfect portraits of real-life personae such as Winston Churchill in Darkest ...
