“(MU) Technically astonishing for being a student debut (the choreograpihc movements inside the frame, are non plus ultra). Narration is weak and confusing.” read more

fernando posted a review of Odete

“(MU) Joao Pedro tends to melodrama fou here and Odete tends to be evil not wanting to. A queer look on melodrama with fatalist, masochistic, absurd, laconic ways, already developed in "O fantasma"” read more

fernando posted a review of Armageddon Time

“(OK) Anything from Gray is more than good. Not just nostalgia and coming of age, there it is an 'americana' in NY, multilayered and has a lovely secuence, with our hero and grandpa Hopkins launching a rocket before the old man's death. The friendship with the subversive afroamerican boy is touching” read more

fernando posted a review of Short Sharp Shock

“(MU) Fatih Akin's debut is this goodfellas of multicultural Hamburg. The hero's dream (he's 'innocent' by oposition to his crooked friends) is his return to Turkey....that's not noir not too realistic, but the film has his interesting undertones and deviations...” read more

“(MU) 3 stars because there's a director planting his temes and obsessions, shining in some scenes (a man caressing a mannequin wth organs), using voice in off to describe -in a sort of mockumentary- processes of sex and behaviour...” read more

“(MU) Zanussi gets an entire new film on the edge of "Life as sexual disease..."; alternating the story og the young doctor with vocational crisis with scenes of the other film.

“(OK) A masterpiece made on and about Ireland, the folk theme is an alibi to amuse and shock on emotional plot points that go to extremes: a man doesn't stand his friend and even cut his fingers to avoid him, each character each punchline, is full of innuendo and simpleton philosophy. How sympathetic” read more
