fernando posted a review of The Commune

“Ok feel of period. Some stereotipical guys in the edges and corny sides (the death of little boy), but gets intimate in the main family, in Anna's crisis and Erick's affair.” read more

“I won´t discuss Chomsky's abbility to explain and teorize, adding examples and references and 'historicizing' at the same time. It's a pitty, directors don't pause to resume or contrast. They just count 10 principles.” read more

“Gomes is a little tired. The chaffingers story is long, reiterative. The Scheherezade sotry is better: really enchanting, naif, aquarian.

“More philosophical than the other tales. Simon is really desolate in his evil rural ways and I love his return to home to have a decent meal. Dixie the dog "a machine of love and oblivion" has just a glimpse of grandeur. The judge's tears is sharp and simple.” read more

“The idea is laboriously established, first with a self documentary descirbing Gomes's inner mood and portuguese historic condition. First story is 'pasoliniesque', but the cock's trial and the girl in love that puts tue country on fire, is top.” read more

fernando posted a review of La Memoria del Agua

“Bize es afectado, como sus actores. La estructura está bien, pues uno intuye la tragedia del hijo muerto en la piscina; pero la pareja está llena de afectaciones (la profesión rebuscada, las líneas).” read more

fernando posted a review of El apóstata

“No está mal, salvo actores más o menos débiles, como el director. De todos modos, el protagonista luce una aniñada provocación hacia el mundo que es lo mejor. Final redondito.” read more

“Thriller antisistema con una protagonista sobregirada pero coherente en su moralidad. El hijo adolescente le hace buen contrapunto con su indolencia, que resulta en sensatez. Lo bueno es que se decanta rápido.” read more

“Venezuela es solo el perfecto telón de fondo de esta suerte de 'vírgen de los sicarios' donde la fatalidad del cariño de un viejo a un joven es similar, pero acá con ajuste de cuentas.” read more

fernando posted a review of Embrace of the Serpent

“Bella y sincera, la pose queda para las interpretaciones y para algunas líneas muy 'self eco conscious' de los indígenas. El alemán pueblerino y el gringo bostoniano resumen dos enfoques con poca diferencia. El olvido juguetón de Karamakate media estupendo entre ambos.” read more

“OK adventure melodrama, ambiguous good & evil. Jean Kent as the 'carmaenesque' gypsy is better than Anne Crawford. Granger is looking for Hollywood and he derserves so.” read more

“Cuba attracts all kind of directors that beleive cubans can be as free as them. Or pose as if they believe so. Lovable main character, elegant gay boy.” read more

fernando posted a review of The Innocents

“Impossible not to succeed with such a great story. Even everyvbody talks in french beinn in Poland, even you miss most of the action, even main character is a little weak, there you have it. The main nun with a sexual disease, praying while she leave a child to die. all the topics and dilemmas on ch” read more

“Ok de and reconstruction of a nontraditionak family where mother (war photgrapher) is the irresponsible and travelling parente. Byrne has to cope with a difficult mama's boy (Devin Druid al good as his elder Jesse Eisenberg).” read more

“Lana is better than Duke, too american hero to act as a german. The sea motif is ok but direction lacks of other Farrow's narrative sharpness.” read more

“Modern in its approach to a liberal professional woman, not in a vamp mood; but conservative if you consider she is a bitch with his men. The beginning and consolidation of Bette´s myth.” read more

“Not sure if everybody is really laughing on Elvis Nixon (and Elvis's friend Jerry Schilling being an accomplice) or its a kind of hommage. Don't like Shannon as Elvis, Spacey eats him doing nothing.” read more
