  7. Richard Franklin – „Truck Driver · Gejagt von einem Serienkiller“ (1981)

    Was immer der deutsche Filmverleih sich gedacht haben mag, den ursprünglich genialen Filmtitel „Road Games“ zu übersetzen und „Truck Driver – Gejagt von einem Serienkiller“ daraus zu machen, ist mir ein Rätsel. Doch der miese Titel sollte Sie wirklich nicht davon abhalten, diesen australischen Thriller aus den ganz frühen 80ern zu feiern. Mit Stacy Keach und Jamie Lee Curtis. (ARD, Wh.)

  19. Los mejores libros que he leído en 2025

    Año tras año (y ya van ocho) tengo la costumbre de publicar una entrada a finales de Diciembre recomendando las mejores series, películas, libros, juegos y música que he disfrutado durante los últimos doce meses. En 2025 tenía intención de hacerlo de nuevo, pero me dio muchísima pereza ponerme a rebuscar en el ámbito de series y películas (ya que fue un año bastante vacío en ese apartado), y también me generó un poco de bajón el ver mi wrapped musical lleno de canciones que […]

    January 01, 2026

    Happy New Year from One True Podcast! We look forward to a rich, exciting 2026 by looking back to 1926.

    In our first show of the year, we ask an esteemed guest to take us back exactly one hundred years to see what was happening in Hemingway’s life, work, and world. So, to guide us through Hemingway’s 1926 — his travels, his relationships, his publishing, and his writing – we welcome the great Hemingway scholar Ross K. Tangedal.

    For Hemingway, 1926 was a colossally important year that saw his transition from Hadley to his second wife, Pauline; the transition from Boni & Liveright to Scribner’s; and the publication of The Torrents of Spring and The Sun Also Rises, both crucially important for different reasons. Tangedal guides us through this remarkable year in Hemingway’s life and his writing. We have previously begun calendar years with flashback episodes featuring: Mary Dearborn on 1922; James M. Hutchisson on 1923; Verna Kale on 1924; and J. Gerald Kennedy on 1925. We encourage you to check out those past shows to get up to date!

    5 Best Ernest Hemingway Adaptations

    While Hemingway wasn’t generally a fan of the adaptations of his works, these five films are must-watches.

    ByTim Brinkhof, Nov 12, 2025

    ‘For Whom the Bell Tolls’ | United Archives/GettyImages

    Ernest Hemingway wasn’t a huge fan of cinema. According to his son Patrick, “pictures on the silver screen were nothing but pure illusion (…) and not to be taken seriously.” 

    His relationship with the screen, which over the course of his lifetime developed from a technological curiosity into a cultural force, was undoubtedly shaped by his identity as a writer—as an artist who expressed himself not in images but in words, and by the time of his death saw his age-old trade swept aside by a new, different medium.

    While the author himself would probably have begged to differ, the following five films are considered some of the best Hemingway adaptations out there. 

    A Farewell to Arms (1932) 

    https://www.youtube.com/embed/YYdYkHQie6M?feature=oembed

    Originally published in 1929 and based on his experience serving as an American ambulance driver during the First World War, A Farewell to Armsfollows a wounded lieutenant who falls in love with the nurse who nurses him back to health, culminating in the couple’s ill-fated attempt to leave the war behind.

    This adaptation, directed by Frank Borzage and starring Gary Cooper and Helen Hayes in the two leading roles, was nominated for four Academy Awards and ended winning two: one for Best Cinematography, and another for Best Sound. Made before the existence of codes, the film was—for a time—banned on account of its portrayal of sexuality and violence.

    For Whom the Bell Tolls (1943)

    https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZKB-Suz_2DQ?feature=oembed

    Like A Farewell to Arms, this novel was released only a few years before its big screen adaptation, in 1940. Also steeped in personal experience, it follows an American volunteer fighting against fascist forces during the Spanish Civil War. This soldier, too, falls in love, forcing him to choose between duty and happiness.

    Directed by Sam Wood, this adaptation was nominated for Best Picture. Gary Cooper returns to play the leading role, this time starring alongside Ingrid Bergman—seen for the first time in Technicolor. Aside from faithfully adapting the story, it sticks close to its themes of pacifism and the futility of war.

    99 years later, “The Sun Also Rises” is still delicious

    A modern traveler retraces Hemingway’s footsteps through Spain, one glass of vermút and Basque pintxo at a time

    By Howie Southworth, Author of “Hemingway’s Spanish Table”

    Published November 8, 2025 10:30AM (EST)

    Act 1: The Road to Hemingway’s Spain

    Ernest Hemingway’s “The Sun Also Rises” begins in Paris but it doesn’t stay there. It follows a group of post-World War I expatriates, led by the emotionally distant narrator Jake Barnes and the captivating Lady Brett Ashley, with whom he shares a deep, impossible love. Their chaotic summer journey is joined by Brett’s fiancé, the troubled Mike Campbell, the charming but cynical Bill Gorton and the perpetually lost Robert Cohn, who is hopelessly infatuated with Brett.

    The novel finds its messy center in Pamplona during the festival of San Fermín and the running of the bulls, a story of camaraderie, longing, and disillusionment. Beneath the clipped prose and bullfight bravado is a meditation on appetite, both emotional and physical. Food and drink mark the rhythm of the novel, from an early evening absinthe to trout beside the Irati River. What the characters eat reveals who they are, or who they wish they weren’t.

    We begin our own journey in Bayonne, not Paris.

    The city is rather overrun now than in the roaring 1920s, but the bones of Hemingway’s Europe remain if you know where to glance over coffee. “It’s the caffeine in it. Caffeine, we are here. Caffeine puts a man on her horse and a woman in his grave,” writes Jake Barnes. Coffee in the novel means moments of grounding, clarity, normalcy and lays a foundation for our day. Within view from where we enjoy a buttered baguette and sip our café au lait, the cathedral’s twin towers rise above the tiled roofs, and just beside us, tucked behind faded red shutters, is the ghost of the Hotel Panier Fleuri, where Jake stayed en route to Pamplona.

    We stroll across the Pont Neuf, its international flags snapping in the morning breeze. The Nive and the Adour meet beneath our feet. It’s barely 10 a.m. and already the day promises heat. At the midpoint of the bridge, we hesitate. Ahead is the rest of France. Behind us, a story yet to be told. We turn back toward the car. Time to head to Spain.

    (Howie Southworth) Cafe au lait in Bayonne

    It’s mid-morning and the car hums past the border and into Navarra. The road winds through the foothills like a prelude, each turn offering a sharper light and a deeper green. We stop to appreciate the color and a local omelet. Our first glimpse of Pamplona’s sandstone walls is a jolt. This city may be small, but in 1926 it became immortal, the place where a fiesta, thundering hooves, and a novel collided to shape modern legend.

    We’ve come for the smaller festival, San Fermín Txikito, held each Fall to commemorate the saint’s original canonization, before the Summer celebrations stole Hemingway’s heart and the international spotlight. No bulls. No fireworks or colored kerchiefs just yet. Castillo Square is hushed, the anticipation almost audible.
