fernando posted a review of The Cisco Kid

“(YT) Conchite Montenegro is very seductive and is credible that Cisco returns to her, but he prefers the widow.

fernando posted a review of One in a Thousand

“(Festival de Lima, virtual). Toal apuesta por la calidez, más sexo y libertad de opción que violencia y desgracia. Ni los prejuicios ni la pobreza limitan tanto, Navas sigue con mucha comprensión a sus personajes, y sabe reunirlos.” read more

“(OK) Could a trumpet be romantic? Lombard says no, MacMuray demonstrates it is romantic, and rounds her neck with him and his instrument. Bizarre image that swings and ends brilliantly this love affair.... Lamour and Quinn in small roles...” read more

“(NX) La corrección, los temas del momento desde un trabajo de campo tan riguroso como el aprovechamiento del folclor y el paisaje. Cierta debilidad y pasividad delperosnaje principal frente al padre, aunque hay una resolución final coherente. Ayacucho es inspirador...” read more

fernando posted a review of Ran

“(OK) Even the stagey sequences are so rich and full of nternal action and gestures. The main King Learesque character goes wrong in every decision and even that he is so human and caring. The chorus around him is great, the clown, the blind boy in the edge of the abyss....” read more
