fernando posted a review of The Immigrant

“(MU) Good plot, twisted characters masquerading a love hate story, Cotillard fascinates men and destroys them and everything, is not a neat heroine, is a woman of hatred and revenge, but the film treats her as the natural beauty inconscious of her looks, mmmhhh. The more 'ilustrative' of Gray's film” read more

“(Mu) Too long and sans brio; Ai Weiwei, amuses and plays with his characters, quotes islamic poets, and make som good interviews as the princess of Jordan, a good heart country, is there is one...A big effort on the subject of refugees” read more

“(OK) After "Dirty Dozen", Aldrich did what he wanted, and was, as a contradiction to DD, this antibelicisto, heroism as a realtivist stupidity, as a mishappen of psycho, yellow or brutal men. Robertson is as good as Caine...” read more

“(OK) Tha McBride debut is so fresh, so funny and spontaneous in some secenes, so cinema verite fake in others, he covers many statements of Godard and nouvelle vague dogma. Some long scenes in which David improvises and repeats himself...” read more

“(MU) Bizarre, contradictory: in a way is interesting the normalization of the alien making a human life with a purpose of going back theme; but the style, and deviations with the support characters, is distracting” read more

fernando posted a review of One Way or Another

“(MU) Me gustó más que la primera vez que la ví en Cuba en los 80. Sara Gómez rompió varios moldes, sin salirse del principal: el rollo revolucionario enfrentado a maneras de ser disfrazadas de antiguas, pero más humanas, sinceras, actuales y con 'filin' que todo el rollo ese. Una sutil y simpl” read more

“(OK) Can't forgive Aldrich made so grotesque, pretentious (or wasn´t and the ugly plot and twists are tongue in cheek?), prejudiced, topical....Novak is as bad as the film and as the character's profiles” read more

“(OK) Extremely funny, Germi goes right to the always well acted gag. Some overlooked difficult of adapting a very french vodevil, with most interiors; it begins better than it ends, and has the frivolity of the genre, but its so joyful...” read more

“(OK) MGM and George Sidney trying to convetr this glossy drama in romance and melodrama, but is not easy. Dialogues are too literary for Tracy and Turner, always correct but not bright here. Zachary Scott is better...” read more

“(OK) El clásico cubano que no envejece, porque se quedó en le umbral de todo, en el mundo que se iba y el que venía, poética de la curiosidad disfrazada de indolencia, viendo a la familiar y amigos que se van a USA, soportando el juicio por supuestamente violar a Daysi Granados...” read more

“(OK) Really bad in plot and dialogues and gags.
