“(PA) Pacific, paix, fiction; pas colonialism, pas neocolonialism, pas postcolonialism, mais transcolonialism en hommage a Shannah. Nature, facts, topics, everything contributes o a state of mind, where there's no room for naionalism, buts it s for corruption, militar abuse....” read more

“(PA) Honour and glory to the donkey's point of view, even to his dream of being the center of the circus ring. Instead he is a football team pet, a dilettante's friend, a donkey boy, not bad, but everything is ephimere, even life for EO...” read more
“(MU) Complete, comprehensive account of Thompson's life and creation, with the character in precise videos, ex wives and only son interviewed, and extract from "Fear and loathing in Las Vegas"...” read more
“(MU) The ambition of a good telefilm based on a big intriguing case; but Egoyan knws how to enrich such stories, planting doubts, distorting characters...” read more

“(MU) LIfe in a rich polish suburb, from the point of view and magic hands of a masseur; some disorder and irregular rythm but Szumowska has her style...” read more
“(MU) All the feeling of loser's naturalism, but at least Lavidi triumphs in Lyon (maybe the change of scenery from Paris, helps) and everybody is happy....” read more
“(MU) Kelly Reichardt couldn't made tgis ecothiller as personal and charming as her other films; but with Jesse and Dakota here's sure somthing going inside tha characters never judged...” read more
“(Blu) Harryhausen had lot of reosurces here, it's an hommage from him (as coproducer) to his skills; but he ges no further than the wonderful "Jason" or even his "Sinbad". The character of Calybos, the punsishment in the sea are better than Medusa and the Kraken...Firt part is better....Olivier is b” read more
“(MU) Pialat stumbles with Bonnaire here, the relaxed happy ending somehow contradicts the uneasy comming og age and the familiar violence around Sandrine; chaotic love affairs, chaotic motivations, wait for another Pialat's...” read more
“(PA) Favio siempre sorprende por versaitlidad de enfoques y estilos; su Aniceto y Francisca fue al teatro y a la danza y con decorados perfectos, secundarios y temas abstraidos, escogió algunas escenas del original para amplificarlas. Se confirma décadas después que el gallo era más importante p” read more
“(PA) Favio acabó por establecer su estilo, ambicioso en el lenguaje, minimalista en la ejecución, corto; pero sensual, con diálogos algo ampulosos. Cine de autor, nueva ola que tiende a los folk en "Nazareno", anti romántico. Más triste le es a Aniceto separarse de su gallo que de Francisca...” read more

“(PA) Favio es un mundo aparte pero con los pies en la tierra. Vuelve simple y digerible esta historia ampulosa, la convierte en nueva ola folk con incrustaciones de licantropía, softcore rural, y un diablo que habla en quechua....” read more
“(OK) Srickland has style and dubious taste but not too much humour. As academic and abstract based on abrasive details (farts, food, sound) as Greenaway. Great idea taking a colonoscopy as art performing....” read more
“(MU) Where were we when Gray made this, where was Gray when making this? More tnah a policial drama, its a melodrama of filiation. A son trascending his father, betray of his woman (even Eva Mendes is great), big ending in nature....” read more
“(PA) The top 1 in the last list of Sight & Sound. A hazardous casual pick to confirm the divorce of film critic and popular taste. Besides that, an amazing Akerman, cold, well structured, comprehensibly reiterative, pudic routine of an sranged widoy housewife and his uniteresting son....till an endi” read more

“(BLU) Aldrich so early made this small perfect noir with atomic alibi; as a proof that he later could make "Kiss me deadly". Duryea is impeccable, Marian Carr an unsuccessfull debutante. Better are the support by Knowles, Keye Luke, Gene Lockhart...” read more
“(MU) Lars von Trier in one of his ars filmica, granulated manifestos (as his debut "Elemento of crime"), here around a film on an epidemic. Some stunning scenes with Wagner's soundtrack, the harge of Walkirias, and there are Hollywood quotations, a strange scene with Udo Kier...” read more
“(OK) Apart from the much publicized Truffaut's 'Antoine et Collette', the romantic pahetic douce amer coming of age of Doinel; there's a voluble romaticization of a hero by Wajda, love and interest in Renzo Roselini's, Marcel Ophuls tries unsuccessfully to be modern in an episode on a child and love” read more
“(Blu) As simple for Bergman, here just with photos, as his episode of "Stimulantia" about his son Daniel. From there he uses a video of mother Karin and grandson...” read more
“(OK) Some surprises, much better than Bergman doddying with his child Daniel. Molander, in his last, have Ingrid Bergman and Bjornstrand in a quick, tight, impecable "The collar" by Maupassant; Harriets Andersson in a perversion higinical softcore by Jorn Donner, Sjoman room fantasy with a black gil” read more
