Cinema
The team behind film-review website Picturenose.com provides Expatica readers with weekly movie cinema reviews, with a focus on European cinema. Examples of reviews include Things that don’t quite go bump in the night and Wondrously tasteless Tarantino. Picturenose.com also provides film-related features devoted to an area of particular interest – be it Oscar predictions, Citizen Kane, or a reassessment of the Carry On movies' contribution to sexual equality.
Find out more about what’s on at the museums in your adopted city through articles such as Madrid's hidden museums, and why museums in Spain are better than those in the US.
Architecture
For readers interested in European architecture, Expatica’s Arts & Culture channel offers a variety of features: Take a look at Spain's first Russian Orthodox church, and understand the building wonders of Seville. One feature on Barcelona’s Sagrada Familia asks if the ongoing construction work on this famous symbol is still in keeping with Gaudi’s work.
Culture and books
The Antiques Diva explains how Europe became her playground and shares her knowledge of antiques shopping in Spain, or read secrets on developing an eye for Spanish antiques. Books about life in your new country are useful to help you understand your adopted culture. For instance, Expatica has reviews of books on how to work in Spain and books from our bloggers about life and love in Barcelona.
