“(OK) So simple, so deep in its auterity, so great. The device of the ritual meeting of two people to remember an era, a lost Indian mahajarajahs system, is pure Ivoy & Merchant.” read more

“(OK) Lorre makes a good composition and China and Shangai and San Francisco chinatown are good ficitional locations; but there isn't enough rythm, humour and stylised action” read more
“(OK) Kind of late neorrealism and early Hiroshima drama, in japanese cinema. More subtle tahn shocking, the tragedy and the location impregnates everything...” read more
“(OK) Conventional infdian melodrama in a way, but reaches epic and denonciation, int the exodus to Calcutta. Musical excerpts are in the margin...” read more
“(ok) First of Pialat, naked and cold and impossible to judge childhood. All of that makes it moving, and the realtionship with the old woan, the other extreme, is an important detail...” read more
“(ok) Alexei reaches adulthood with more doubts and depression, ans consciousness, that´s why the bread factory of Semionov is such meaningful. The intent of suicide is as surprising as subtle with the kitty detail...” read more

“(OK) The first part is great, iconic for inmigration to the land of liberty, while rocking dreams and miseries in the boat. Then is pure good cafe routine with Charlie and Edna.” read more
“(OK) The best of the trilogy. Ante the best of thte 3 stories is the cruise with Kay Walsh, teneder and sad and comic and full of understatement. The firs sketch wth Nigel Patrick as the crooked brother is ok, and the last one with almost tragic Glynis is good but washed up in the happy end” read more
“(OK) First and less interesting of the trilogy. 'Facts of life' is the most tricky with the mischievous but loser Mai Zetterling, The kite is poor, Alien corn has a good hard ending and The colonel's lady is a good picture of a surprised patriarchal society with a poor happy ending” read more

“(ok) So relaxed that is kind of difficult to see, a recurrent theme in Renoir, of people being surpassed by their affections, and powerfull charaters longing for another kind of live as Marais in the end. And Bergman and Ferrer staging a kiss, love that moment...” read more
“(ok) Vodevil with no visible ambition in the beginning, but adds to a snesible protrait of a cocotte being victim of her frivolity while other characters assuming thier autentic feelings...” read more
