PalmI will recover One of the best films of the 90s, celebrating its thirtieth anniversary. I'm referring to FargoDirected by the Coen brothers, this film left an indelible mark on the careers of everyone involved, not only the directors but also the lead actors, an impressive Steve Buscemi and an immeasurable Francis McDormand. The film follows the intricate web of a hired thug, a son-in-law incapable of managing his ambition, and an agent as endearing as she is professional. On Prime Video.

I'll get in within the complete poetic works of Joan Margarit, thanks to the magnificent edition published last May by Edicions 62, in both hardcover and paperback formats. And I will do so spurred on by the force of some verses a friend sent me at the end of the year. They go like this: "Remember when you still didn't know / that life would have no mercy on you."

I will visit the Blai Bonet House (Santanyí) to tour the exhibition Josep Maria Llompart: You will not avoid the nightThe exhibition features documents and images from the poet's collection, held by the Mallorca Literaria Foundation. It runs until January 31st.

I will recommend Formentera residents should go to the San Francisco Javier Cultural Center to see it on the big screen Wicked IIThe big musical of the year, as spectacular and effective as the first installment. From Friday, January 16th to Sunday, January 18th.

I'll see Deaf, one of the most nominated films at the upcoming Gaudí Awards, to be presented on February 8th. The film, winner of the Best Film award at the Málaga Film Festival, tells the story of a deaf woman for whom having a daughter means confronting many of her fears, including how family communication will work. It marks the directorial debut of filmmaker Eva Libertad. On Movistar+.

I will read the essay Women and money: Inequality, gender, and marketsby Olympia Arango, published at the end of 2025. The author's intention was not to create a theoretical economics manual, but rather to offer a popular science book on economics and gender that answers questions such as "When did women begin to enter the labor market?" or "Is it true that women compete and negotiate less than men?" Published by La Magrana.

I will meet again with one of the classic Manacor theater productions in Oh Quaquin, you've come looking thin!Sebastià Rubí's zarzuela, which premiered in 1935, returns to the stage of the Manacor Auditorium thanks to the Sant Antoni Foundation. Directed by Toni-Lluís Reyes, this zarzuela, as described by those responsible for the adaptation, aims to reconnect audiences with the purest essence of Manacor and Mallorcan culture. Performances are on Wednesday, January 14th and Thursday, January 15th at 7:30 pm, and on Sunday, January 18th at 6:30 pm.

I'll start Vanguard, a series based on the real life of Jan Stenbeck, a Swedish telecommunications pioneer also considered one of the country's most controversial figures due to his family feuds. Available from Tuesday, January 13th, on Filmin.

I will be Once again at the Palma Auditorium. This time I'll be there to enjoy performances of pieces by Béla Bartók, Frank Martin, and Maurice Ravel – the latter will include Ma mère, Hey: Cinq pieces enfantines– performed by the Balearic Islands Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Pietari Inkinen and featuring violinist Frank P. Zimmermann. Thursday, January 15, at 8 p.m.

I will return The Sa Bassa Blanca museum is a center worth visiting not only for its contents, where you can see works by James Turrell, Miquel Barceló and Louise Bourgeois, among many others, but also for its architecture and surroundings.
