Joaquin Homs is recognized as the leading pioneer of twelve-tone composition in Spain, but the products of his long life and career were always grounded in romantic expressiveness. French impressionism can be heard in his earliest guitar work, Suite dHomenatges, and the influence of Bartok in Entre dues linies. His atonal works of the 1950s absorbed the spirit of Wesbern while still communicating Spanish poetic warmth, but his definitive style emerged after the tragically early death of his wife in 1967, with works such as the Soliloquies exploring introspection, concision and silence.

Escobar - Il Fascino del male, il film diretto da Fernando León de Aranoa, è basato sul best seller di Virginia Vallejo "Loving Pablo, Hating Escobar" e racconta la vita di Pablo Escobar, questa volta interpretato da Javier Bardem. Il film prende le mosse dall'ascesa criminale di Escobar e arriva fino al 1993, anno della sua morte. Un percorso che si snoda lungo la vita privata e professionale del narcotrafficante, ripercorrendo i turbolenti anni Ottanta, il periodo del narcoterrorismo, la lotta contro la possibile estradizione negli Stati Uniti e il rapporto con la giornalista Virginia Vallejo (Penélope Cruz).
