“(OK) Great style and camerawork, composition and acting, the film flies as the cranes till the formalism, but there´s passion associated with the style, and a extreme torn character, Tatiana between a lost love and repentance...” read more
“(OK) Daves dramatizing romance and familiar intolerance (Beulah Bondi is the heavy mother, Travers is the gool father), with Eleanor as sensitive girl just in love with Morgan. Secondary characters are a bit distracting...” read more
“(OK) Swan song of Wise is a TV film woth a Rod Serling teleplay, good cast (Falk in a histrionic jewish grumpy old man), Nastassa in a small role, Ruby Dee idem. Contrast of characters with dramatic tender ending (both have a similar loss) and stripping hipocrisy always functions...” read more

“(OK) Rush is a poor director for this Carver material. The man stuck with his things in tha yard, selling them, total looser making some friends...sans brio...” read more
“(OK) Little big scope, small star cast (poor harsh hero Gene Barry, lovable Angie the big heroine, Lee Van Cleef as an amoral communist, Marc Dalio, non actor Nat King Cole), soldiers looking for wars, inventing one with the passion of fighting against commies...” read more
“(OK) Requiem for the duel of war; a soldier harpist, becomes a monk, the post war with a few acrios, d¿fields od corpses and peacefull music, more comteplative than moving. 3 years later, Ichikawa changed mood and filmed the horror of war in "Nobi"...” read more
“(YT) Not enough for swan song, this last Donen, his only tvfilm. The teathrical background could be transposes to the city and the senate, but this is austere. Laura Linney is good actress, but Weber is so bad....” read more

“(OK) Fuller dignifies the not so bright stuff of scientist in stubborn mission and a more stubborn mercenary captain (a woman in the submarine awakens bestial machism). Francen is a gentleman, Widmark is hemsielf and Darvi is nice....Fuller makes some pretty dramatic compositions with the scope and ” read more
“(OK) Disney style, Orwell stuff, well told helped by narration in off. There are some nice montage secuence, and the collective feeling of singing in gutural syllabes near the fire...” read more
“(OK) Episodic, irregular, the birth of Israle in soties of almost accidental figjters, one with englisg flegme and romance, the other with irony and conversion to faith (the ticker of a booked tour to Jerusalem is an irony in itself), the third one with kind of humour, with a nazi lost in any war.

“(MU) Electrifying real time account of a terrorist attack on a summer youth camp island, just following in long takes (is it one or a few of them?) an extrem responsible Kaja, a vjaracter on the border of solidarity and stupidity...” read more
“(OK) Donen's swan song, with vitalism of old man, imagining a Rio more liberal than it is (there's no such topless fashion, not even today) . The dialogues are too sharp , too sophisticated regarding some heavy scenes...” read more
“(YT) Just a description in off, in fact a great narration, of a extreme ritual of possesion, kind of violente camdomble near Accra...” read more
“(OK) Too serious, almost naif in its metaphisic in a hop on hop off planets ride. In one stop , enters Dr Spoke Nimoy) the best and enigmatic character of the series. The rest is as somber as the film....” read more

“(OK) Visonti and Pasolini are he best by far. Mangano is a star 'burnt alive', his dead beauty in the shadow, losing conscience and being touched by the guests to the party (great scene) , ending as a zombie over the snow and climbing to the helicopter....Pasolini sketch is a kind a moder uceellacci” read more
“(OK) A bit of Visconti, as much text as images. A gurl is raped and kiled and Visconti goes to the place wher life goes on, no more...” read more
“(OK) O'Brien explains his 'crime' to Gwenn as explaining a murder by self defense. Each detail is meaningful, as alibi or mitigating circumstance. Lupino associates with the false explendour or the chines resauran and Fontaine the pefect wife with o child, are so sad...” read more

“(OK) A pity, the director of "The haunting", just for evoquing his only terror film, had to make this. The argument and the dialogues are lousy. Marsha dignifies her character, Beck is lousy; not even Hopkins is ok” read more
