“(OK) Mature, social background, multi topic; but with two solid characters and a precious bond between them: compteition of power, church and marxism, and friendship. Too much for just one film...” read more
“(OK) Marc Allegret in the best of his charm. Choral, romantic, well balanced between voluble even hideous Odette Joyeaux and Blier, and other good people in love. Good atmospher for the debut of Gerard Philippe” read more
“(OK) Some gothic touch, dickensian, in a little Temple vehicle. The music in not well integrated, as some secondary characters...” read more

“(OK) La comedie noire et absurd reaches a sublime point, as a a sunrise ending after a nightmarish night, in the zoo.” read more
“(OK) Good beginning but then, becomes so selfconscious, humour forced, reiterative... Undefined point of view, not of the 'twice hanged hero' that doen't recognice himself, not of the idiotic gardian capable of killing a woman...” read more
“(OK) The plot becomes lousy, but is so well narrated and directed and acted by Chaney, that you forget it. Chaney climbing with his hands to see his women workers, is just great...” read more

“(OK) Gremillon is great wiht a perfect story as "Le ciel est a vous" and with a harsh one as this, with characters fighting for protagonism, and becoming hosts of strange passions..., some baroquism on limpid waters as in "Lumiere d'ete"...” read more

“(OK) Some of the best of De Oliveira. Story is buñuelian and metalinguistic and 'meta telenovela', circular and vicious,and with deaf humour. Cast is irrelevan in this early 100% portuguese Oliveira's because of his declarative style...” read more
“(OK) History ans story, charater and action, saga in construction, violence and subtlety, the film where seuences equally great as the horse´s bloddy head and the death of Godfather playing with grandson....” read more
“(OK) Theatre went to the movies at it best. Cocteau has the real of writing, directitn actors and everything; the plot points conceibed by Gabrielle Dorziat to involve wonderful Ivonne de Bray are so ingenious...” read more
“(OK) Jessua here is a kind of french Michael Crichton, but more into character tahn action, building slowly his thessi and mystery, more psycologic scienci fiction, than anything else. DEwaere tragic and great...Stephane Audran amuses herself...” read more
“(OK) Pretty fist 'legere' romantic part, then the war makes it a lost paradise wirh gravity and all. But a very good balance after 'Fin du monte' and 'J'acusse' heavy stuff. Gravey and Popesco and Presle, excelletn cast...” read more
