fernando posted a review of Full Moon in Paris

“(Mu) Pascale Ogier character is all: affirmative, audacious, experimental, loving, caring, egotistical, impossible with his boyfriend, so tolerant with Octave (Lucchini); moving when loses his love for wanting everything at a time. Moralist in a playful degree” read more

fernando posted a review of Scarface (1932)

“(Usb) Gran Almodovar, summa teológica de su sinceridad y sertividad melodramática, con solución activa, más la historia de espala en una fosa revelada, las familias y amores alternativos, la maternidad asumida y no pero nunca culpable, Penelope más allá desí misma, eterna...” read more

fernando posted a review of The Good Boss

“(USB) Redonda ironía del patrón que intenta asimilar todo lo bueno y en realidad es un paternalista mandón. Un toque de absurdo, bien llevado, como un running gag, el del despedido que monta una protesta sin ton ni son; los giros de Bardem tan buenos como su actuación...” read more
