“(OK) Good Lourcelle's recommedation. Straight attack on sororities are evil and stupid and undemocratic as fraternities. No political, just nice and dramatic. Jeanne Crain so convincing...” read more

“(YT) I like to see more Flaherty storytelling with natives among their elements (a la Nanook), than tragic Murnau themes. There´s no spilled blood, theres transgressión, juts totems and tabus, we could imagine another escape by the girl...” read more
“(OK) Intensity and intention, delicacy and hard look on everything: a story of class and love struggle in a decadent Wien. Each secuence has its crescendo, its timing its details, as the love scenes near the Danube, seeing through the vegetaton” read more
“(Mu) Maybe the highest peak in Chabrol anti bourgoisie subversive eork. The tale of two ambiguous female killers, going high in the scale with a crimen so wonderfull and brutal - a model family livng isolated near a small village” read more
“(YT) Everything is top in the film but specially acting: Laughton is already a mature star, Rosalind Ivan is an anthological bitch worth killing, Henry Daniell is great as a drukard blakmailing neighbour...” read more
“(YT) Modest in cast but not in set designs and scifi aestetics. Even the forehead of the extraterrestrial is a happy choice. Domergue is sexy even when the direction tries her not to be...” read more
“(YT) Great, when frivolity was an art becuase expressed sex and drama so well. Andre Beranger losing his nude torso, no muscled, just tonified, seems the body aestitics of another era. The party secuence is a little masterpiece...” read more
“(Mu) An quick and simple amorphological, unproportioned essay on female ass figures; big ans slim according to diets and the rythm of the short itself...” read more
“(Mu) Sexy, whimsical, fashionable, too pretty people, good storytelling in despite of its arty spirit, some stroke of romance and there´s the core of the film: she leaving his man for the ghost of a past love, and then tries to get it back...” read more
“(Mu) Docuficción, lindos personajes que hacen lindro grupo anarco musical, Chiquilín es el niño grande que comete una barbaridad por nada, el rockero mayor es un predicador que zanja todo, el marimbero es llevado a la marginalidad pop, estupendo...” read more

“(OK) The sensation of a chopped and unfinished film is disturbing. The decadence in the first half is bearable, and Ingrid is beyond ridicule (the Boyer cameo is perfect), but her rapport with Liza becomes unbearable...” read more
“(OK) Heinrich George trascends and supports the film in literally one hand (his character loses one), all of them are as dumb as evil asnaif (sauf the guys of the criminal band), and there's vivid modern Berlin vibrant stuff and an excelletn secuence of Geroe singing in the cabaret...” read more
“(Mu) Not so inspired, but correct, with good escapes from the theatrical home set (the assembly and its violent end is excellent), nice acting...” read more
“(Dvd) Lovable photo and set desing, and colour and fluent recreation of Touluose-lautrec style; but some heavy dialogues, too produced Ferrer's handicap, risks the enterprise. Lack of good secondary cast...” read more
“(Mu) A surprise. There's a natural innocence in the boy's look, a dazed and poetic and reflexive (he writes a letter) wandering; a guilty accident, with a man chopped in two (great image just once) ad subtle comments on social struggle erased in the cruves of Paranoid Park. For the police, the boys ” read more
“(Mu) Great text and illustrations compiled by Marker and Ruspoli. Fron the antiques to Melville and huge contemporary whaling boats...” read more
“(Mu) Too long dialogues, but it adds to a good end. The women reclusion is a state of mind, not just genre and politics, as the 'swadeshi' or nationalist cliam to forbid foreign products is too. There's tension and grey zones in the photography; but takes time too cathc interest. Its the time of the” read more
“(Yt) Long and irregular, but gets interesting in actions scenes, when japans arrives to the village, when the protagonists have to run, the mining accdiente, the fight; not the mining docummentary part...” read more

“(Mu) Ray in the edge of comedy and satire. The introduction of the holy man is a classic scene, with the cult and the trick, in the station, the 'babaji' giving his foot to his loyals, great. Then, the group that tries to unmask him as a political complot...” read more
“(OK) Two no connected stories, with some sordid and 'noirish' touches, specially when the girl is 'killed' twice, first almost drowned in a sac, then naked; finally strangled by his boss. Blier is a commisaire against type. Madame Olga, a good tragic character...” read more
“(Dvd) Some splendour in scope (a battle, the river, etc) and good secondary characters (Sylva Koscina as a vipher, Francoise Fabian vengeful, the left and right journalists) but lacks de vibrant drama an action you find in the director of Scipione. Good Verne tale.” read more
“(Dvd) Kate and Hank are really good and moving, specially when she believes he is dying. The boy catalyses well the drama of father stranged form his only daughter. The landscape, the pond, the sharp dialogues battles with some corny stuff...” read more
“(OK) The origin of "Coda" has all the stuff: the sex maniac parents, the moment of silence (just one in a film on deaf people), the muswic teacher; but adds a campaign for being mayor of town that has a loose end...” read more
“(Mu) A Rohmer summer is special season of cinema. You not only ander but take a lesson. The proverb ('don't tell too much') is thesis and theme. Pauline is as sensitive as Arielle Dombasle is a fool...” read more
