“Duvivier is not so comfortable in the propaganda stuff. Neither Gabin, who doesn´t know how to look when he has to be a heroe. He is better when he is not ans says so to Ellen Drew.” read more
“Un enfant que arrive tard. The old housekepper gives to the new one, this great definition that encloses the entire film. Charlotte BarbierKrauss as Madame Lepic is the french Margaret Hamilton.” read more
“Great story. Melodrama witn industrial boom (pastificio topic) and unavoidable decadence. The legacy beyond blood between Francesca and Nunziata is well finished” read more
“A poor Garnett. Ladd is a imposible, cold, heroe. The romance of poor servant and noble Medina is wasted. The Stonehenge battle is a false climax but at least is campy.” read more
“I'm not sure if Gondry wanted a youth film with one foot in french naturalism oe if it is result of some weakness or indefinition. Anyway the wheel ouse is a nice moving image and Theo/Gasoil a nice character.” read more
“I saw this for love of Rachel, familiarity with Marcello and respect of Eduardo de Filippo and his napolitan way. Poor story (more dreamy than absurd as it pretends to be)” read more
“Underrated Huston in spite of its lousy treacheroos everybody saved but the indians at the end. Great story, really unforgiven heroe Lancaster risking his family for love of sis Audrey.” read more
“Nice animation, better in the human modern world ant the interface; not so much in the beast world. Hosoda imposes his rythm, his codes of honor.” read more
“Deceiving. Widmark is ok seeming to be a very bad guy in the beginning, bot in th eminute you see he is the fantastic heroe; the film becomes corny.” read more
“God save Gordon from the oblivion. O'Brien fading hieratic while his ruined palace is exploding is the nearest to Leone Hollywood could get in tne middle sixties.” read more
“Bolognini at its best; decadence in people that hasn't even reach luxury or modernity. Claudia (excellent) and Jean Paul so condemmed lovers that become tender when harder they pretend to be. The feudal background of the heritage is just that and ok.” read more
“After this, now I know Sontag, even with some ideas well explained. Good testimony of previous female lovers.” read more
“All the elements to make your own judgment on Knox's guilt; but lacks of -at least- a resume of the facts and lies we knox she is really guilty of. Americans are too protective with her jewells abroad?” read more
“Subtle idea for a doccumentary: why a young innocent lampedusian boy is anguished, without knowing, with the refugees crisis.” read more
“Good paced, nightmarish but quiet story of guilt more than pity before a resentful wife. McConnaughey ok, better than use of location.2
” read more
“Baroque in themes (gigolo, romane, fascism, crisis) but not in style. Dietrich is more respectful than moving, Bowing is learning, Rome is excellent, Novak amuses herself, Maria Schell ok.” read more
“Simple, straightforward, rude, softporn, nunxploitation, good location. Best of all the sadomasoquist stuff between nuns. Spaak kissing the floor, good moment
” read more
“Xavier and his unnerdy, prolific, avoiding stylization, not too efectist this time, not too naturalistic, kind of elyptical approach to a good story of gay love and rural prejudice.” read more
