“(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. Ichikawa versatili” read more
“(MU) Amat Escalante cobra más cuerpo, actores profesionales que parecen naturales, sutil tensión que escala al crimen doble, sin 'ceremonia' como en Chabrol...pero con extraños rapports entre víctima y victimarios...” read more
“(OK) Big surprise, imagen and a peom a pray a call for attention to this god forgotten souls, making thier life going on. Don't feel tha pain, just one to share some of its beauty...” read more
“(YT) Existential mediatation on things big, in this side of life and wordl, the Mediterrean (Egypr, Greece, Sicilia, maybe french coast with barbed wire), some recurrent images (the girl in the hospital and combing her hair)...” read more
“(Mu) Amat Escalante debuta en la senda de Raygadas con una historia más redonda de matrimonio posesivo que no soporta la disrupción de su rutina...la indolencia de él y la intemperancia de ella simepre lavada con un perdón, son un bucle sangriente y, a su modo, erótico...” read more
“(OK) Lousy image, yo can guess bodies and body parts, specially tits and bones, some penis; lot of travestism with a nice soundtrack but not a musical spirit; camera panning over intertwinned bodies is great...” read more
“(OK) One of the best Ritt. Scope, wasteland, men and cattle, a disfunctional home (the hate between Newman and dad Melvyn is biblical), Patricia Neal is an excellent bonus, De Wilde is more than ok, and the killing of the cattle is superb...” read more
“(OK) (A pity I saw a lousy copy). Clarke makes an inmersion in black Harlem world, alternating brilliantly off and on, boys finding thier horizons in crime (there's one ouncin in a rock over Central Park, between good and evil), jazz and ratatazz....” read more
“(MU) Herzog's last masterpiece. Ferrera's original shrinks while we see how Nicholas Cage (never better) involves his life, and in the second half lives a paralel reality with his prostitute yonki friend (Eva Mendes). She tries to rehab while not always bad Nick goes to hell, before that resumes his” read more
“(OK) Keitel puts his chest and mind and cries in the decadence of afrugged shitty policeman. Ferrara involves it in a religious crime, but the dialogues of the fforgivving raped nun and the yunki Keitel's friend are kinda philosofic while Keitel and plot are more anguish...” read more
“(OK) Shot and easy and modest and elegant George Sidney debut, with a precode kind of 'lubitsch' argument of foturne hunters, not in Paris though. Cummings is very sympathetic courting Judith Anderson for money and Ruth Hussey for love...” read more
“(YT) Just for the segments in black in which there´s just the narration of Jack Smith, the provocative, lunatic, arty, sexula undefined, whatever rotagonist who could be somebody or nothing...” read more
“(OK) Bresson essays his scherzo, harsh edited, elliptical, meaningfull style, with Sanda mystery. The fatality that begins with the suicide and spoils the end, is so sad that attempts to the mystery. We don 't see Sanda double life, but participate in husbands jealousy...” read more
“(OK) A sort of 'Big carnival' in Salvador, open air, with the victim/hero in the middle of chaos. The theatrical origin doesn't bother the style and composition, but is a bit heavy on dialogues. The force of direction imposes over the many thesis of the story...” read more
“(MU) Cronenberg summa teologica. Flesh, sex, art, distopia, all the combinatios between those essential elements, with a bit of thriller (thats the less inetresting, but dinamizes the narration), ambiguity, excellent Mortensen. That's a 'no pain' society that because of that indulges in self cuts an” read more
“(OK) Powerfull trio. Lombard is as lovable as Grant sees her; and Francis is a bitch with conviction. Dialogues are a bit indicative; but actors and Cromwell make them dramatic The exteriors hace some charm...” read more
“(YT) In this Harry Smith figurative images are a kind of abstraction, fresh and not so random surrealism (there are recurrent figures), no edition, figures apear and dissapear in the frame and transform inside...” read more
“(YT) Some new figures, as a baby and the religious stained glass, takes its place among the disgregation internal movement stuff...” read more

“(OK) As influent as execrable. Episodic and ambitious, good doccumentary camaerawork, good eye for stories and locations, but so prejudiced and cinic and distorsive, that today would be impossible to finf such a piece...” read more
“(MU) Película sucia, irregular, con números muy mediocres, incluso Pérez Prado ya delata su decadencia a pesar de que pone en escena los grandes mambos de siempre...le humor y los diálogos son pobres, los actores son mejores, Lyn May es pésima actriz pero le mejor cuerpo de México...” read more
“(OK) An essay on morality with malice (the girl propiciates every bad thought) and a sort of scrifice of the evil (the liberation og the black one) to obtain the unfair prize of the young one.” read more
