¿Que pasaría si uno de los principales guionistas de 'Los Soprano' y el maestro Scorsese unieran fuerzas para crear una serie?. Esa pregunta ya tiene respuesta: 'Boardwalk Empire', emitida por la cadena de pago estadounidense HBO (que no deja de producir clásicos en forma de serie de televisión). El primer episodio (el episodio "piloto") está dirigido por el propio Martin Scorsese y es, por sí solo, una de las mejores películas del cine reciente (algo que suele pasar desde hace ya un tiempo con las series, por lo general más interesantes y entretenidas que mucho del cine que se hace para la gran pantalla) y de lo mejor del propio director en mucho tiempo y eso que su estilo característico (por ejemplo esos complicados montajes frenéticos y los travellings planeadísimos) sólo se muestra en pequeñas ráfagas casi imperceptibles. Está ambientada en los años 20 en Estados Unidos, los años de la ley seca, con todo el clásico ambiente criminal que produjo la prohibición. El peculiar y omnipresente (este tipo no para) Steve Buscemi interpreta al principal personaje, el corrupto Nucky Thompson. La primera temporada se compone de doce episodios y las buenas noticias continúan porque ya hay luz verde para una segunda temporada.
What would come out if one of the main writers of 'The Sopranos' and master film director Martin Scorsese joined forces?. That question is already answered: 'Boardwalk Empire', from the HBO (which keeps producing classics). The first episode (the "pilot") is directed by Scorsese himself and is, in itself, one of the best films of recent cinema (something that usually happens lately in the form of Tv series) although the typical style of the film director is quite contained and only shown in flashes. It is set in the 20s in the United States, the years of alcochol prohibition, with all the classic criminal environment that it caused. The ubiquitous (this guy doesn't stop) Steve Buscemi stars as the main character, the corrupt Nucky Thompson. The first season consists of twelve episodes and the good news keep on rolling for it's all set to start filming a second season.
