“I love this so much, this is Les enfants du paradis (Granger and parker are actors, remember) meets MGM's Hollywood, with a grand chorepgraphic finale. Yes, an unexpected masterpiece by George Sidney and by a big studio.” read more

“Modest charm, light french antirevolutionary story (noblemen and thier descendants as Curtis and Miller are heroes against polices that seems monarchic)...” read more

“Huston's western balad. Lily Langtry is poetry for Judge and we undesrstand it as we see Ava. The non extreme violent elegant mexican friendly Huston is at his best.” read more

“I like that it is not ambitious, Losey doesn't portray a definite Trotsky or Mercader, they're are impredictable, non conformist, a bit fatalist but unsure of what to do. Schneider is a poor passionate woman.” read more

“Goodbye Duvivier, it's a tongue in cheek misterious non ambitious sexy plot (Senta is sexiest than ever, Delon is cute and mature).” read more

“De Mille contributing a bit late to war effort. He identifies with a doctor maybe because he is difficult to identify with an obedient GI Joe. The exotism is kept as a non invasive background.” read more

“Kind of funny how easy is to put hard themes as segregation and terrorism, because they are in far Kenya and terrorist are blacks from mau mau. Poitier is really good crying in most of his scenes. Hudson is a non crying white.” read more

“Deke Rivers a good character for a just born star. A bit washed up drama, Kanter is a poor director (Lizabeth Scott doesn't know what to do, Wendell idem) that´s why is difficult to understand double entendre between all of them and their reactions” read more

“The best of the first Presley´s. Good idea to situate him in the birth of jazz New Orleans, working in Bourbon stree to make a living between hudlums, hustlers, an d a stubborn father (Jagger) who doesn't understand Tennessee Williams” read more

“As quick and charming as "Les tribulations d'un chinois...", Belmondo suffered macho against distracted irresponsible Dorleac, good 'bad men'.” read more

“Hubiera quedado en díptico, con "Ustedes los ricos". Pero los Rodríguez quisieron exprimir la saga, dejaron la mayor tragedia en off para justificar la muerte real de Blanca Estela Pavón y le dieron a Infante una cualidad fantástica sin tratarla como tal: todo le sale mal.” read more

“The film is as aged as Bette. Lacks rythm, action, passion. The crime and the motifs are so cold and unexplained, the second characters are so useless and wasted, Malden for instance.” read more

“Mejor que su precuela "Un rincón cerca del cielo". Grandes bloques narrativos, con Infante asciendo en fortuna y desgraciándose a pesar de la abnegación de Marga y de su amigo millonario Tony. Interpreta bien a José Alfredo en la cantina.” read more

“A world apart for Elizabeth Harman. She lacks fury, because she has just one breakdown and is too strong for resist the humiliations. Winters is so convincing in such a oprobious role, that she deserved her oscar.” read more

“Kind of funny to see the private sponsors of the film after explaining that it hasn't received state sponsorship (OAS, Odebrecht, Camargo Correa and so on). It is hagiographic and has moments of doubt, but just strategic and political doubts (to strike or not to strike this moment), not moral” read more

“If I have to pick just one scene is Malden praying in the whole/hell; vertical stuff os ascension after descending to the social hell. The sky remains the roof with the pigeons.” read more

“Once in a lifetime, Marlon. Is excellent, the mood, tha landscape with waves and the sea, the house near the town, the actors, the plot inside the themes of vengenace and search of identity and refusar of a father figure.” read more

“So effective, The evolution of the danish nationalist brute to a tender fahterly man is corny, I know, but the theme as violent as abstract and schematic of the cleaning of a mined camp is too good...” read more

“The precise testimonies for knowing and maybe understanding Mapplethorpe: sis, little bro, colleagues and friends that doesn't save us what they think of the man's arribism and oportunism and using people, and a picture of gay sex life before the plague” read more

“Good point, well explained and repeated and analized in its historic evolution: mass incarceration black oriented, in a way is a continuation of slavery. But they don't explore, don't even discuss a contestative theory: You do need to have punishment and prisons, ¿don't you? And there are also whit” read more

“Encanto similar a 'Nosotros los pobres' que le permite a Rodríguez sus imágenes más audaces (el Camellito pisado por el tren, el bebe carbonizado), el romance de Chachita y el Ata (rantado) cobra más fuerza y ternura. Ah, esta última es clave, es la licencia llorona del machismo” read more

“La armonía coral de la pobreza elevada a todos los altares en los que ya la puesto Monsiváis. Rodríguez es un Indio Fernández sin ideología nacionalista, pero sí un populismo más vasto...” read more

“Good directorial moments with the masses and the cannon as a character; but clichés are so corny, so disbalanced, so reducing. Kramer has to admit that he betrayed theme, and locations.” read more

“Tableau vivant, king is dying, long dies the king. Cmaera is always in some uneasy but perfect place to view it all, with intimacy, respect, no hate no false admiration to royalty. Serra, a filmmaker to follow.” read more

“Logan without music, but some rythm in acting and moods in same locatios as "South Pacific". He experiments with Walker JRnaif straight nervous everything in this charming young man.” read more
