fernando posted a review of Rockabye

“(OK) Constance Bennett is as great as garbo or Tallulah or Shearer with Cukor. Here is amusisng, vital, sad, changing radically of tones inside a secuence. An apparent fantasy with ballons, and clowning with drunken Jobyna, are bonus...” read more

fernando posted a review of A Bill of Divorcement

“(OK) Cukor gaining confidence in himself as excellent director of actors. Burke is delicate, Barrymore is as exhuberant as his role permits, Hepburn is learning everything, includind delciaming melodramatic lines. The story has aged...” read more

fernando posted a review of Crimes of the Future

fernando posted a review of Christiane F.

“(MU) Seen 40 years ago, I missed the esential: inventory, gallery, fantasmagoria from slow pace to paroxism, of a zombi generation, lulled by Bowie himself. Some aged scandal on sex, but make up, real locations, extras are more than ok...” read more

fernando posted a review of Wanda (1970)

“(OK) I liked it pretty much than the 1rst view. Wanda has excellent lines and moments, in which non guilt, marginality, attraction to loser Mr Dennis (lovable character that humanizes and revitalizes Wanda while he is his last chance) merges wiht naiveté...The conversartion near the car, with beers” read more

“(MU) Jarmusch's masterpiece, a wetern oda that trascends the genre and goes to the roots, moving west with european naiveté, finding native american naiveté ('Nobody' thonks Depp's William Brake is the real Blake) and vising the first indian wonderfull simple city I know” read more
