“(OK) Not a 'pasteurized' Guitiry bus a Pasteus with a Guitry humour and passion...but an ocassion for the master, just beginning his lonf feature career, visit some topics as war and scientific academic prejudice, not frecuent in his cinema” read more
“(OK) Japanese awakening to such topics and forms and styles and audacious approaches, are earlier than otther so well known cinemas... The senaual noirich melodrmatic tragic stuff here culd semm aged but has its charm...” read more
“(OK) More experimental than any other thing, close ups trying to replace the dialogues wich are so great because of its documented preservation; great in the brink of the silent art agony...” 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

“(OK) So elegant, glamorous in locatiosn and actors, full of little 'Clouseaus maladresse gags´that Edwards indulges in long verbal sequences and in the end, a very long masked party and car crash...” read more
“(OK) Fregonese estaba apuntando a Hollywood y haciendo su primer gran western, Demare estaba algo extraviado en su épica gaucha; peor vaya qué colonialismo románticamente genocida que muestra pudorosamente la cabeza del indígena Huincul en manos de Petrone. No he visto nada así en westerns grin” read more
“(OK) Ivoru introduces you to places and epochs and characters; they're so vivid, intimate, funny and human as Maggie Smith nad her probably tempestuos self proyected in young Helena Bonham Carter through Judy Dench storytelling. Forster has wonderful material for films...” read more

“(OK) Pabst makes some wonders with the camera and the sets and the dialogues and music. Ironically the best song, Mack the knife, is sung in the background. The brude singing is a great moment...” read more
