“(Mu) Another too perosnal essay in the bundaries of fiction and doccumentary by Varda. She projects some themes, as loneliness and anonmity , in her assintant. One of the LA based Vardas' films...” read more
“(YT) Keaton goes in and out of the frame, as normally as he makes a gag. There´s some lovably well constructed long gagas are the one with the money in the pile of garbage or Buster evading through a windoy with an old woman's cloth...” read more
“(Mu) Round anecdote, and in the long middle part, Rohmer just follow, wanders with his character, till he beocmes a clochard, a kind of Michel Simon in the edge of la nouvelle vague...” read more
“(Ok) Honour the kitsh! Montez is thrilling in her cobra dance pointing with the finger the ones who are gonna be thrown to the vulcano. Idiot plots, deus ex machina silly solutions, sexy actors (Sabu tortured, John Hall seduced) and glamorous technicolor...” read more

“(OK) Why it lacks pefection? Story and rythm and well conceived amd composed scenes; but there are some flaes as the color hallucinations of the harsh acting of some seocndary characters. Breck is just ok, Towers is better.” read more
“(MU) Is the entre excerpt form "Cleo", a day jiking with frends collaborators. Varda has made quite a part of her career with friends colaborating as here. Not a big deal” read more
“(MU) One of best Varda's in her late revival (or her neverending carreer), because she focuses in an extraordinary theme, that is core and margin of society, poistion of body for work and survive, for transform or just recolect, and she finds good testimonies...” read more
“(DVD) In this one and "Dirty dozen", Aldrich helped to redefine action star packed extreme achievement film. To build a model airplane from a wrecked one and leave the desert...schematism in characters, but strong actor and well crafted tension scenes, flows...” read more

“(Mu) Kiarostami in 90s Tokyo, an old man decides to live the extreme double life of a hooker with a naif but violent boyfriend...and he is serene ans passionate about it...” read more
“(Mu) Rohmer proving nothing, as nothing is the favorite word of the characters. To fiends insult and play with a girl stronger than them, and the hero remains alone, with a broken chinese jar...” read more
“(OK) Even with no subtitles, so adult, straigh, castrati exploitation, good acting (Vittorio Caprioli as Matteuccio is excellent), transgender in a unique way; brilliant in every aspect, including hairstyling (the giant 'perruque' of Anouk Aimée), a surprise...In Rome ypu buy 'tuto' says Ferrari...” read more

“(Mu) Delicate, playfull Varda's approach to Aragon and loving wife Elsa. 'You always escape from me, never know what you're thinking' tells he poet to her ans to us...” read more
“(OK) The fantasy is excellent, but the town is too poor minded, doesn't help the spectator to be amazed in front of Lao...” read more
“(DVD) In retrospective, seems an early pos feminist film. Streep is a woman looking for her life after suffering patriarchal Hoffman, abandons her child twice, but gets a life while Hoffman becomes an excellet loving father housewife. Good acting an directing...” read more
“(Mu) Long secuences, climbing in interest and tension, building a young widow profiel with daughter and son, some details (the bycicle and the mute owner) catches the attention...” read more
“(OK) Ray Harryhausen at his early best, including a fencing skeleton that anticipates the skeleton army in 'Jason', the serpent shiva godess, the cyclops, Torin Thatcher as magician, a charming little spectacle...” read more
“(OK) Overvalued but anyhow valliant and modern. The genre perspective has force and -there is a problem- collides with the strike itself. Some paralellisms (heroine in labor and his husband) are lousy; but the picketing women are great” read more
“(Mu) Varda is a good art critis, so listen to her narration/description in off. Is always better than the interviews. The murals, well, is always interesting to compare them with ehat would've look if they were simple paints hanging...” read more
“(MU) 3 munutes, anything goes, and for Agenes here is the stairs of la Cinemateque with scenes with stairs in films...” read more

“(Yt) The flair, the rythm, the humour of 'Lady vanishes'; but not as perfect. This has some irregular ups and downs, plays with time and has a great ending with the killing of a dead man. Lom has a good segment...” read more
“(Mu) Lacks the wit and the joy of other Rohmer's, but has the quality of an essay narrated in off, with the bonus of a dream. It has the quality of being disturbing” read more
“(C) The narrative of astonishment, this is the kind of film/spectacle where you can number in an add the epic segments: look at the fight with the giant squid, look at ta submarine burial, look al the race of the canibals....” read more
