“(BluR) There´s 'la froideur' by Melville. Deneuve is perfecto for that, and Crenna is excellent, better than Delon,playing a fantastic ganster directing 2x1 coups. The secuence of the assault of the train is pure tecnique; but the first assault in the bank is atmosphere, tension, character, everyth” read more

“(BluR) Lean is irresistible. The plot is as fine as locations, photography and Maurice jarre music. Davis is impeccable, as Bannerjee is not. Fox never fails. The secuence with the monkeys is an excellent anticipation of the false sexual assault....” read more

“(BluR) Round, sharp, a militar prison on absurdity of regime more than cruelty. Each character poses dramatic and moral dilemmas beyond thier instincts of survival.Connery is pure star charism but not richess of detail. Redgrave is ok, Harry Andrews and Bannen are better. Alfred Lynch as Stevens, th” read more
“(Festival Lima) trabajo virtuoso con actores aparentemente naturales en fiesta de aniversario para un enfermo aparentemente terminal...demora en armarse y molesta la cámara muy cercano a los personajes, perdiendo detalles y dejando mucho espacio en off, pero tiene momentos, con encuadre abierto, de” read more
“(MU) RDA is a mystery for barbara and for Petzold. She rahter stay in her duty as a doctor than flee to the free world, sending an alter ego instead. A light romance in the backgrpund explains something, communism is neither ominous nor luminous...” read more

“(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
