“(MU) Irresistible. Una secuencia con las prostitutas en segundo término y en primero un lacónico grupo musical de un joven, un niño y un viejo cantnado "Trotacalles" hace recordar a Pedro Vargas cantarle "Aventurera" a Ninón Sevilla. Pero acá las putas reflexionan sobre sí mismas. Solo escena ” read more
“(MU) Pirates, greek tragedy revenge dialogue, nirish touches of a matriachal gang, deocnstructions of all this; but you can see that deconstruction of genre with equivalent touches in shorter and more pleasant fashion...” read more
“(MU) real tiome apparently one shot post scalp assasination in a hairdesser's deluxe impeirum. Sensacionalist but never gory (there's no body, no cirme scene), problems of credibility (where's the police and its rules?), but never decaying...” read more
“(MU) Small Schrader with an unusual profession in films: gardener. Edgerton is rare, has a ominous past and an ominous relation with dominant Sigourney Weaver. The corny aspecto is his relation with Quintessa Swindell....” read more
“(BluR) Elegant moody terror thirller in old London, just a home and Mia, a hideous truth (a german boy massacred buy a monster girl and her bulies) , and everything going fatal...Good support by Conti” read more
“(MU) El guión de Alcoriza aproxima este film del artesano González en un sucedáneo de "Ensayo de un cirmen" de Buñuel. Arturo de Córdova está impecable y Amparo Rivelles pues se defiende bien...” read more
“(MU) Paula Hernández expande 'Las siamesas' a más personajes pero concentra locaciones en una gran casa de campo y busca un final de choque...” read more
“(IMaX) Don't ever seat in first row in an Imax. Sound was more opressing than image. Good charatcers, Oppie and Lewis Strauss (Downey is impecable) , and Oppie's women. Good 'cameos' by Einstein character...” read more
“(MU) Good Babenco debut, before he went to realist social exporations. Here, with Orlando Senna script (I remember a long talk with Senna in his Rio's home) he amuses himselg with melodramtic masochist characters, wondelfull kings of nothing. Pupi sins beuatifully the tango Nostalgia...” read more
“(BluR) The MGM fell in love with afrincan locations and fauna. And he tension between Kerr and Granger, the best british romantic pair in Hollywood, is genuine...” read more
“(BluR) Harold Robbins, producer Joseph Levine and director Lewis Gilbert, trivializes everything, love, fortune, revolution, identity, adventure....Pretentious production (3 hours!!) in Colombia giving all of its locations (Bogotá main square and cableway, Cartagena, Villa de Leyva, ) , undeserved ” read more
“(BluR) Morricone explained by himself, with support of other musicians and filmakers, and selections of his works, what else? His works for Leone are the best, no doubt. Take a hearing and a look for Petri and Roland Joffe´s "The mission"...” read more
“(BluR) Troubling after a bit confusing beginning, the story and the introducing of the theme of pedofilia takes its time. There's style in each shot of this early underrated Seidl...” read more
“(BluR) A different 'housemaid' than the 60's classic; this one always a victim, unavidable victim of a rich family viewed with manicheism. 3 stars thanks to Yeo-jeong Yoon excellent support as the old surviving housemaid...” read more
“(MU) 3 strar just for the funny comment in animation, the breath of the film. Plot and characters and the unsimpathetic actress have no charm, even if they are in Lisbon.” read more
“(BluR) 4 families mixed in a building, an accident, fate, 5 years, 10, 15, years elipsis and story advances to a kind of happy ending. Moretti has a dignified lousy character of an intolerant judge...” read more
“(BluR) Un hito para el flamenco visual, luego de "Los Tarantos". Gadés tiene lo auténtico y lo académico y Saura nos ahorra en tratar de entender la obra, ¿para qué?, y nos lanza a la danza. Cristina Hoyos sensacional, los ensayos previos tan buenos como el ensayo general, sin parar...” read more
“(MU) Good idea, a man that for existential reasons don't want to go home and stay with his parents instead, even in bed, return to the uterus in NY. Not deliberately funny but tender anf funny in a way...Jacobs uses his own parents and you can feel it...” read more
“(BluR) Nice theme, Frears, more light than corny, with excellent Sally Hawkins goes digging Richard III, rescuing the value of Sally from the circus of oportunists when Sally's idea wins.” read more
“(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
“(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
