fernando posted a review of The Snails

“(Lucky it comes in the smae edition of "Le planet sauvage"). More than in 'Le planet', Laloux stops to astonished before Topor's images; even the plot of inasion of giant snails is very cinetic.” read more

“Problems with rythm and animation itself, but Topor's images and imaginerie is just great. He anticipates Moebious and Jodorowsky,” read more

“Edwards finding his style and punch. The arribist fury of Curtis is a bit washed up; but you can find something of it, maybe more in Kathryn Grant than in Cory/Curtis himself.” read more

fernando posted a review of Only Lovers Left Alive

“Guilty me to forget Jarmush. I've just seen this romantic (in a historic way becuase Marlowe and a friend of Byron are dying in Tangier), subtle, tender, amusing, very well located in Detroit, gem.” read more

fernando posted a review of The Unholy Four

“Fisher just waitng to do what he liked and in what he excelled. The imported noir style inspired him nothing. Even having Godard and good actor William Sylvester.” read more

“A poor Bava, in plot, acting and direction. Even the killings lack inspiration. Isa Miranda has some dignity, Auger none.” read more

fernando posted a review of Alexander the Great

“Burton makes classic texts sounds ok. March is the best of Hollywood school and is excellent confornting, drunken, barbaric and tongue in cheek the pretentious Burton. A pitty that the homo tones are washed up.” read more

“Charming. Loren full developed already in 1955. The sex and the music -Camerini insists in comparing the mill with a disc- of the past, senza nostalgia. De Sica is convincing since its first scene, and becomes engaged more and more.” read more

“Trepidante y ágil por gusto; porque bien establecida la idea de que una mujer trama un falso crimen para que su marido cineasta la escoja como actriz, todo debió ser más sutil e inquietante.” read more

fernando posted a review of Familia

“interesting argument (the family plot sold to a guy who hasn't one) but there´s a feeling of inachievement, of confusing solutions. Amparo Muñoz as handsome as good actress. Agatha Lys not as well.” read more

fernando posted a review of Barcelona

“More than nice characters taking decisions on love based on national identities, family (thats a good point, they´re are kind of blood cousins) and a liberal agitated background. (Nice to see it right after being in Barcelona. I celebrate Stillman avoiding Gaudi´s commonplaces and filming instead ” read more

“Vidor is ok with the De Millean, sexy mystic (he knows how to separate and mix those concepts) idea of the film. And the redemption is more romantic than religious. The suggested orgy is ok.” read more

“Strange banalization of Tarzan becuase the film gets to its point relating the legend with wars of the time, american anti colonialism and kinf of politial stuff. Bah.” read more

fernando posted a review of Julieta

“Se construye lenta hacia el centro pero remata rápido y bien. Julieta ha construido sus culpas y su hija es hija de las culpas, la deja y la quiere por ello. El misterio de porqué se fue ocupa el lugar del drama.” read more

fernando posted a review of A Married Woman

“Si improvised in dialogues, but not in the decision to sculpt, fragment Meril's body. Censorship determines as much as JLG what you see. Sex is explicit in words, bien sur.” read more

“Brooks and Simmons are more than OK; but dialogues are so aged, selfconscious, almost lyrical in its meaningfull intentions. Women in spas has a kinf of antropological edge.” read more

“More romantic than noir. The idea that Price gambles his wife, a necklace and the money he hasn't, is not underlined as it deserves. Russell is better than Mature.” read more

fernando posted a review of On Trial

“Switzerland is a good background to a sordid -even a bit washed- story. The paralell of Vanel's son and Vanel himself revisiting the case is ok. Grandma Berthe Bovy has the best lines.” read more

fernando posted a review of The Emperor Waltz

“Excellent. Not a minor Wilder. He makes a statement on monarchy and class division against singing american brute pragmatism, using wisely the clises. Fontaine is better than ever. More than austruhungarian monarchy, the satire goes to freudian psycoanalisis applied to dogs!” read more

“Its german realistic pace doesnt help its commercial punch. The governess is to stereotyped from a bad childish film; but all is better in the country with grandpa Bruno Ganz.”
