fernando posted a review of Lucio Flavio

“(MU) Before 'Pixote'; Babenco was already in form, with this straight criminal drama, not enfasized in violence or style, cool approach to a gangster negotiating and being treasoned by his police partners...” read more

“(BluR) Shozofrenia is exhausting, firts part in great, thr anguish in in spectauclar cotidianeity, in the streem in the apartment; hallucinations pop up from the neighbourhood and over the bathtub (wonderul detail the man falling down to the tub); but, then, a extremly long display of hhalucinastios” read more

fernando posted a review of The Exorcist

“(OK) So powerfull, in script, acting (Brustyn, Sydow, Conn and Karras and even McGowran as a drunken intellectual), rich in detail and even digressions, with a strange prologue, but such an effective topic that Friedkin coul add what he wanted...” read more

fernando posted a review of Common Wealth

“(MU) A pesar de la desmesura (empieza con un idiot plot luego de que Maura baja las escaleras en guiño a Cary e Ingrid en "Notorious") , el homenaje a Hitch (desde los créditos a lo Saul Bass con música a lo Herrman) , con colores de Madrid almodovariano, y un grand finale madrileño, vale todo..” read more

“(MU) The director's cut maybe soften's the excesses of origin. But excesses are redeemed in tender fantasy Walter Mitty'esque tone....” read more

fernando posted a review of Heathers

“(MU) This deserves to be a culti film, kind of juvenile deliberate killer "Stepford wives" with big black humour politicall incorrect touches (policemen believing a man is gay becuase his boy is founf with a bottle of water and not a bear!)....good mathc Wyno na and Slater” read more

fernando posted a review of Keeper of the Flame

“(OK) Serious, heavy, a bit of Citizen Kane research of a dead great man's truth, with a WW2 twist at the end. Hepburn, Tracy and Cukor made all this credible...” read more

fernando posted a review of Rude Boy (1980)

“(MU) A cult film just because The Clash not only play but acts in it. Bad for them, they are too lefty for the main irresponsible character and too classic for the punk feeling...” read more

fernando posted a review of The Long Goodbye

“(OK) Altman made with this relaxed Chandler´s story what Hawks made with Hemingway in "To have and have not". It has so much flavor, and charm, and details as happy as the halfnaked yoga girls, or the psycho Mark Rydell, or Hayden amusing himself as a hemingwayesque character....” read more

“(OK) In spite of Cukor and Garson and good location close to the sea; too constraint and selfrepressed melodrama of a woman falling for a lecherous friend of his soldier husband presumed death...” read more

fernando posted a review of Rimini (2022)

“(MU) Seidl follows with his eye of excellent doccumnetarist, his fictional decadent lousy singer in Rimini out of season. Everything is out of season here. Richie Bravo means of survival , prostitution with old ladies, extorsion, renting his home, are so colourful” read more

fernando posted a review of Fight Club

“(MU) As Nolan and Arronovsky, Fincher is one of the pretentious, bombastic, american filmakers. Films and story are excessive, acting is good (Norton pretty much better than Pitt), locations come wth its wharehouse ruined style. Violence is really anoying, can't get in the chaacters...” read more

fernando posted a review of Safari

“(MU) White hunter, black heart. Not recommended to 'animalists'. Seidl leaves the best to the end: the killing og a girafe. Wonderful, insulting, dramatic, senseless...Bur the hunters explain themselves and have a lot of rituals and codes. Great theme.” read more

fernando posted a review of The Painted Bird

“(MU) Can't deny it has wonderful image/scenes as the boy and the crows, his vengeance with the cheat's head, the rats and so on. But isnt there too many repetitive attacks and assaults on him? He doesn't seem to feel pain but he is vindictive...” read more

“(OK) As frivolous and light as Cukor and MGM could be. It even lacks locations, almost everything happens in Shearer's terrace. She is more than ok but a pity this was her last movie...” read more

fernando posted a review of Paradise: Love

“(MU) Best of "Paradise" trilogy and maybe best of Seidl. There´s progression in the sex turims hungry and angry austrian middle aged overweight ladies. Our main character is son convincing in her fears, her liberation, her naiveté, her fury lookin for the boy who cheated. And in her birthday party” read more

fernando posted a review of Sid & Nancy

“(MU) It's ot about music, but people who went through music so stoned that their fame was ephimeral. When love nurtures drugs. Nancy is so dramatic when cries to Sid "at least you were something, I'm nothing'. Good compositions of the pair in the streets and NY Chelsea Hotel...” read more
