Overview
«Que la música salve por lo menos el resto de la noche, y cumpla a fondo una de sus peores misiones, la de ponernos un buen biombo delante del espejo, borrarnos del mapa durante un par de horas».
Las armas secretas (1964) reúne cinco cuentos que forman parte de la mejor tradición del género. En medio de la excelencia de relatos como «Cartas de mamá», «Los buenos servicios» y «Las armas secretas», destacan dos obras maestras: «Las babas del diablo» (adaptado al cine por Antonioni en su recordada Blow-up) y «El perseguidor», quizás el más perfecto y conmovedor homenaje a un genio del jazz como Charlie Parker.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
“May the music at least save what’s left of the night, and thoroughly fulfill one of its worst tasks, that of placing blinders in front of the mirror for us, thus erasing us from existence for a couple of hours."
Las armas secretas reunites five stories that are part of the best representation of this genre. With the excellence of stories like “Cartas de mamá”, “Los buenos servicios” and “Las armas secretas”, two masterpieces stand out: “Las babas del diablo” (adapted to film by Michelangelo Antonioni as Blow up) and “El perseguidor”, perhaps the most perfect and moving tribute to a jazz genius, Charlie Parker.
