In the midst of the maelstrom of shopping and Christmas dinners, it’s time to find some time for culture, to enjoy some novelties -such as the end of the series ‘Stranger Things’ or the premiere of the film adaptation of the bestseller ‘The Housemaid’-, take advantage of the last days of exhibitions or read the hits of the year.
The Housemaid, a best-seller that jumps to the movies
In 2022, ‘The Maid’ was published, the first volume of a saga by American writer Freida McFadden, a story of psychological suspense that was an immediate success.
But its run continued with readers’ comments on social networks and it became a bestseller again when it was announced that this year it was being adapted into a movie.
Amanda Seyfried and Sydney Sweeney star in a film that opens on Christmas Day in half the world (in Spain on January 1 but with special screenings on the 20th and 27th).
Stranger Things on its final stretch
On the 25th the second part in which Netflix has divided the fifth and final season of the phenomenon ‘Stranger Things’ premieres.
There will be three chapters that will precede the last one – scheduled for January 1 -, which will close the supernatural story created by the Duffer brothers and in which the protagonists descend to the alternative dimension of Upside Down.
Millie Bobby Brown became a star for her role as Eleven in a series that has won 12 Emmy Awards.
Last days to see great exhibitions
In the art world, the days of the Christmas vacations can be used to see great exhibitions that are about to be closed.
This is the case of the one dedicated to the great Australian Aboriginal artist Emily Kam Kngwarray at the Tate Modern, which closes on January 11; the one dedicated to the New Photography at the MoMA (until January 17) or ‘Warhol, Pollock and other American spaces’ at the Thyssen in Madrid (25).
Christmas, a good time to read
And Christmas is also a time to read quietly the titles that have been put aside during the year.
From pure entertainment such as ‘The Last Secret’ by Dan Brown, or ‘The Widow’ by John Grisham; stories such as ‘The Good Evil’ by Samantha Schweblin; the surprising debut of Lucía Solla with ‘You Will Eat Flowers’ or the mixture of fiction and memory by Arundhati Roy in ‘My Shelter and My Storm’.
