31/07/2017 – Tres hombres congregados alrededor de una partida de ajedrez, inmutables ante el bullicio del viejo café que ha fungido como club por cerca de medio siglo a esa cofradía de seres circunspectos, que solazan sus días entre los laberínticos andares de reyes y peones. Tras ellos, tras el inmenso ventanal empapado por la llovizna centenaria, Santafé de Bogotá, la vieja, la nostálgica, el daguerrotipo que se deshace por la humedad pertinaz del tiempo. El espectador sospecha un jaque mate en el tablero, en la vida de los jugadores y en la historia de una ciudad colonial que agoniza, cercada por la modernidad. La película "La Defensa del Dragón" ya se estrenó en Colombia. | Fotos: Galaxia 311
