Movies that can be seen on March 6

March 6, 2026 arrives with a bunch of films that invite you to look into very different stories: from the criminal and family fable of The Last Viking by Anders Thomas Jensen to the political and intimate portrait of My Father's Shadow by Akinola Davies, passing through the provocative Pillion by Harry Lighton, the moral drama of Les Misérables. The origin of Éric Besnard and the action of Cleaner: vertical rescue by Martin Campbell.

THE LAST VIKING (Anders Thomas Jensen, 2025)

An animated film fable opens and closes a story—and I think it explains the meaning of it—where, after being released from prison, Anker desperately searches for the money that his brother Manfred buried. Curious Scandinavian production that involves black comedy, adventure and family drama, as the development of intrigue ends up abounding in the childhood of the protagonist brothers and their relationship. I thought it was good cinema, with surprises in the changing tone and a humanist background behind quite a few pirouettes.

MY FATHER'S SHADOW (Akinola Davies, 2025)

With a British production, this Nigerian film shot in the capital Lagos reveals biographical evocations, with the story of two children who, in the absence of their mother, travel through the city with their father. This happens on a day of crisis due to the military's rejection of political elections. The viewer has to make an effort to place himself in that context, explain the absence of the mother and the peculiar relationship of the two children with a loving father, although too absent. Different cinema, with interest.

PILLION (Harry Lighton, 2025)

Let's remember that saying that said that one begins by committing a murder and ends without saying good morning to the bus driver… Well, something like that is this curious and provocative film, which begins with a sadomasochistic relationship (sic) when the shy Colin, a parking security guard, becomes fascinated by the tall and handsome biker Ray. With strong sequences and a development that, in the end, one does not know where it is going, I think it responds to some personal or close experience of the novelist; but the majority of the audience does not identify with the characters or the situations. For people with unique sexual fantasies or students of the Marquis de Sade.

LOS MISERABLES. EL ORIGEN (Éric Besnard, 2025)

I liked the adaptation of this fragment of Victor Hugo's immortal novel that focuses on the transformation of Jean Valjean when he leaves prison angry with the world after his relationship with Bishop Myriel. The director has opted for intimate drama and moral debate, making an almost chamber film, the opposite of the musicals or epic with which the novel has been treated.

CLEANER: RESCATE VERTICAL (Martin Campbell, 2025)

The New Zealand director, now in his eighties, has specialized in action films and the truth is that he makes effective films. In this case, a weak script and genre conventions prevent us from being in tune with the story of a skyscraper window cleaning specialist who is forced to be a heroine when terrorists break into an energy company's convention. There is also an undertone of environmentalist denunciation. But everything is quite artificial, although entertaining: expendable.
