“(OK) Rare Kurosawa because of its close ups and very long intense conversation weel staged pieces, always in the winter. Snow and ice are always accompanying fire inside characters, especially Setsuko Hara...” read more

“(OK) Thank Lourcelles for pointing this as a great docufiction. It embraces and celebrates life in the plain, all accidentes are happy solved, with music, essential men dancing, horses culture; but bicycles and education also...” read more

“(OK) It flows so easily western routine excepcionally staged and filmed, with great acting: Douglas in one of his top perfomances, Trevor matches his height in some scenes. Even Jeanne Crain is ok, well the film is sexy...” read more

“(OK) Rare story, the love story, the colonial epic (medical agaisnt lepra, and engineering for the poor) , wastes the filming in location. Baur is excellent agianst a limited actor as Francen.” read more

“(OK) Pirandello's Matías Pascal is a really great story, with 3 or 4 parts or dimensions (in Monicellís non ambitious Tv adaptation are more visible), but Chenal has a guignolesque touch that makes some wonders” read more

“(OK) What a dayly fight to get food and soil: they have to finf just plain soil, earth, to pill it up and have a little place to plant something. Respect to the sea. No documentary traditional background.” read more

“(OK) Surprising Wilson doing what a good director may do with a western: all is a set up for the duel in the bg street, with a fat man and the ambiguos hero, the girl and the noble kid. The fury of Mitchum after harsh Jan Sterling tell him thier daughter is dead, is great.” read more

“(OK) Raimu is so great that could be sympa even when leaving his little girl abandoned to die. Aimé Clariod tries to copewith him, but that's impossible.” read more

“(OK) Not aged a bit, strong in its barroquism, elegant functional set design (by Derek Jarman) and with the revulsive material of sex and religion and tortures. Reed's tragedy steals protagonism to Redgrave and the nuns stuff.” read more

“(OK) Castle, the lesser Hitchcocl, as personal as him, presenting the film and before the climx pausing for a warning with a clock. First 30min are great with 'trans character' Jena Arless.” read more

“(OK) Early anti nazi film, early Alan Ladd's protagonism too, even he is expendable here. Stock stuff as always, but theré's some seconday characters with german flavor, doing the heil Hitler sign, first time in Hollywood.” read more

“(OK) Mazurky's 70s 'nomadland'. He gets the right mood in the beginning and the rest flows wonderfully, even when he visits Geraldine Fotzgerald in a retire home or when he leaves his grandoson to go to a comune. The encounter in jail with Chief Dan George, is pure Mazurky's humour...” read more

“(OK) Nice, trepidant, good dialogues with a graps on satire. Popesco in excellent as the frivolous duchesse with a new affare that unveils her world. The gag of the love letter read in his husband speech (great André Lefaur) is excellent. Jues Berry amuses himself as always.” read more

“(OK) Another 'I erase myself in behave of how society functions' Wiseman, without limit of time and topics. I prefer "In Jackson Heights", less time and more concentratios of themes in space” read more

“(OK) A sort of late Resnais film: passions narrated and doing so anothrr passion is born and burnt out amd protagonists survive. The simulation fo the marriage is a pretty anecdote..” read more

“(OK) Very hard to see and follow, the text is too rethoric, empty sometimes, even the themes are important. I don¿t see a mise in scene of text and passions,suaf in the middle, after the false massacre, when they walkin the snow...” read more

“(OK) Big Lumet, complex and choral; feminism thought in the sixties buy placed in the thirties. Good dialogues and storytelling, good cases in sepcial tragic Kay (Joanna Pettet) and Larry Hagman. This tragedy holsd the film and comes to a great ending...” read more

“(OK) A sort of draft copy for Potemkin. Briliant images and edition, but some disorder in facts and process. Lacks a collectiv protganism, sauf in the scenes of struggle...” read more

“Dante and Spielberg, irresisitble pair. Dante has an eye (as a minor Burton) on grotesque humour with tender reductions (as the gremlin made juice)...” read more

“(YT) Trepidant, impressive action concentrates in gorgeous Colorado gorge: train horses and humans and river are so well 'staged'. Great Mix vehicle” read more

“(OK) Becker excells in many fields: direction ( the groupal scenes with different actions) the acting (Le Vigan as Tonkin is great when becoming mad), the realis and depicitng the micrcosmos with the Goupi code...” read more

“(OK) Even in he long solo career to the wedding (less comic and flamboyant than Keaton's "Seven chances") a comedy of character, with lod evolvinf frm naif an shy and fanstasious to a guy in love, with bright moments, as the affaire near the lake with the reflection of the girls face and the turtle” read more

“(OK) A hawksian early Hawks. The essence of his code of masculinity friendshipand responsability above women is there, rambling, fighting an with tender and funny moments too.” read more
