fernando posted a review of Al-Ard

“(MU) Too many chracters, reiterative topic condensed in a final confusing fight, Wassifa is so beautifull but lacks of romance, more dramatic is the betrayal of Hassouna, some scenes (as the enhatic, primitive last one) seems russian cinema...” read more

fernando posted a review of The Wolf House

“(MU) Expresionismo deconstructivo de la imagen animada, que se construye con y apartir de los elelementos y texturas colindantes, hay escenas notables en ese snetido aunque dificultan contar la vaga historia de la chica que escapa o pretende escapar de la colonia y alucina chnachitos como hijos...” read more

fernando posted a review of Remorques

“(MU) One of Gremillon's marterpieces, his 'bete humaine' and 'quai des brumes' a la fois; Renaud is his piece de resistance dramatique, as she is in "Lumiere d'eté"; here with a tragic aura, while Jean and Michele have an impossible and quite on going affaire...” read more

“(OK) Powerfull, non manicheist (terrorists are terroists, even the women leaving bombs in the worst ways and places), non lineal but comnprehensive structura, even sexy and startling...” read more

fernando posted a review of Mediterranea

“(MU) First of Carrpignano's 'trilogia calabrese' is the most weaken, but starts some theme and characters (there it is Pio Amato, two years before coming of age movingly) . All is black and italians surge in ambiguous ways...” read more

fernando posted a review of Tokyo Olympiad

“(OK) Ichikawa brights accordinf the sport : in the water is confusing, but the strenghtens muscles and the effort in the faces, in the races in slow motion, with the excellent photo and camerawork overall the film, is worth the viewing. A dry narraion, with enphasis in japanese sports; there´s no t” read more

“(OK) Good, great story, but pathetic main characters. The old lady is too naif, the 'hero' or 'antihero' is too stupid...but the travellings following them inside the shop or in the street, some scenes ascending in dramatism...” read more

fernando posted a review of Vinyl

“(YT) Warhol asks too much if he wanted the spectator to understand it is an Anthony Burgess adpatation (the sound and lousy actors are not well understandable) ; but in trying so, has an fashionable underground tableaux vivant of sadomasochism, clubbing and drugs, and rock...” read more

fernando posted a review of A Ciambra (2017)

fernando posted a review of Caprice

“(MU) In fact, this is 1986 and Tilda sings as Mathilda in the credits. Joanna was very pretentious, this is a expensive film, with choregraphy, costumes, many decors; she tries to catch something (nostalia, new style, glam, glam) she can´t...” read more

fernando posted a review of The Big Street

“(OK) Lucille Ball was right for being proud of his role here. She is startling in her btichy and victimized 'her hignness' in wheelchair. Damon Runyon's world is a bit heavy here, when askes to believe in miracles and then in whimsical noir endings...” read more

“(OK) Brilliant, excellent, elegant, circular Corman, nice strong coloured photo, with shades of red. Price as prince Prospero, a satan lover, tells satan that christian Jane Asher rivalizes with him in faith, that sums up the essential plot; but there are great details as the pair of little man and ” read more

“(OK) Michener has everything for Hollywood: war, drama and strong characters. He even put the bridges in Holden and Kelly's bed. Robson dramatizes brilliantly the action in ground and air, specially with Mickey and his green hat and scarf...” read more

fernando posted a review of Lancelot of the Lake

“(OK) Bresson al large, scherzos, short dialogues, best of all the metal, sadness and bloof feast. The austerity its a pity because youd don't see the duels, and the actors are lousy, but unit of style and somber tale of the never found grial and idiot Arthur is ok” read more

fernando posted a review of Woman in the Dunes

“(OK) Takes long time and lot of sand, to build his tale. The woman is imposibble to catch that's the idea, is as 'unsaisable' as the sand. The hero is imaginative to make devises to escape but not to establusbh human relations, that burdens the film...great photography...” read more

fernando posted a review of An Actor's Revenge

“(OK) Too many characters and plots, thieves and actor friends, and the enemies ot the enemies, makes it a bit confusing; but the travestite actor and unexpected samurai, brights among everything and you can take the license of believing the pretty girl is deadly in loves with him.
