“(OK) A light Guitry as he is always light and bright; but this time, thereps no time to get insidde somo characters and thier moods. Well, the king obsessed with his friend's death, the fighting marriage; but everything told in a way that you can't develop a Guitry story...” read more

“(OK) The charm and style of any Woody's film but qith the looks of San Sebastian and its own inner light as it seems in Storaro' photography. Wallace Shawn is obviously Woody's alter ego...” read more
“(OK) El Indio más o menos minimalista, una mujer que atrae todas las miradas, dos hombres que pulsean por ella y con su código de amistas y deuda, la playa por la que caminan. Más erotismo que nunca en el indio y eso no está fastidiado por la estética.” read more

“(OK) Charming Ozu, unique in his filmography, bacause of its straigh story based on tender child/hard woman feelings playing with audience sensibility. Unforgettable the harsh gestures of the woman...” read more
“(OK) Not just a continuity of Siodmak's Hollywood work; its a kind of retpru to things he feared, to lousy people as Jurgens, but with sincerity in last stand...” read more

“)OK) Not 5 stars because there´s too much still photos in the recosntruction. Great characters sedimented in long story, specially Zazu Pitts sex repressedbut gold and greed obsessed. Men are more forces of nature and lust, not as repressed as Zasu...” read more
“(OK) The last of Ghatak, is an autmnal indian new wave, with Ritwik himsel, babbling his love for Bengal and lauging at politicla exteemism and his wife conformism, gathering his own group...” read more
“(OK) Las historias son buenas y salvan a Alazraki (junto a los actores naturales), del maniqueismo que lo hace subrayar los contrastes. Pero hay una curiosidad hacia la estética indígena incluso en los peores personajes de gringos prejuiciosos que, en realidad, no desprecian, sino se apropian...” read more
“(OK) Newman made some wonders with wife and accomplice Joanne. Here a character movie, under Joanne skin and intimate visualized thoughts, son natural, so repressed, so credible...” read more
“(OK) De Mille in his more moralist, social reflexion driven, paralell to some of Griffith's best films, first phase. Hatton makes credible his extreme character...” read more

“(OK) One of the best Taverniers, history approached in whimsical, suggestive, picaresque, scenes, as the son of the regent first noght orgams on his sheets; two mascarades in palace, the vital Pontcallec (Marielle) in each of his scenes...” read more
“(OK) Can't make an complete statement on this not knowing the long parts in Africa, with Swanson as a madame in the brothel. The log scens in the castlel are too frivolous, but ends excellent in the raging and whpiping of Gloria by the queen...” read more
“(OK) Dreyer is so mature here. Dame Margarett is so moving whan became aware of the young pair martyrdom, that dies for them poetically. Everyboy is good in the end, in the deep inner soul here.” read more
“(OK) Best of Dwan's western, action condensed (almost in real time), with moral impact on hipocresy and awakening to a complex charater as Payne. The character of the whore (Doloeres Moran) is great...” read more
“(OK) Mmhh, Clair is so aged in a second view. There´s no popular charm here, vcharacters are not redeemed firm its imposed wildness, are non moral, non intelligent. Just elegance of sets and coherence of music...” read more
“(OK) fregonese got his 'Pampa bárbara' in Hollywood, thanks to Val Lewton. Simpe, directo and stylish same time; the half an hour attack on the church has everything effective in western history. Tha last minute cavalry rescue is even justified!” read more
“(OK) Rare and excellent, and in a way representative of Laurel and Hardy possibilities. Is there the archeology of Marily'ns great blowing of dress scene in "7 year itch"? Here Laurel has no lingerie and two women dismay, jaja” read more
“(OK) How Jeff Musso ended in Peru filmins a few bullshit films, I don't know; but his naiveté and energy is astonishing here. Barrault helps a lot, makes everything convincing. in this puritain killer...” read more

“(OK) Lourcelles consider this in his Dictionnaire, but don't sure if as an example of meta lingusitic humour, of the pilling up of clises wiht the alibi of humour. Grahame is not even turpid, not even sensual....some moments and gags kind of fun” read more
“(OK) Just fon once I've seen a chines film abstracted from its social actual grounds, even if its locates before the revolution. Has intimism till individualism, frustration, delicate cruelty, contention, romance...” read more
