“(OK) ¿Qué tiene el cine de Portugal que produce cineastas exquisitos, abstrusos, grandes estetas de la culposa reflexión poscolonial como Oliveira o Costa? Aquí, un viejo caboverdino (ocasión para una sola interrupción musical) ve la puesta en escena cuartelaria clínica de fábrica abandonada” read more

“(OK) Lourcelles says this is an expression on the long vein of 'realism of mediocrity' in british cinema, yeah. If that´s so Ivonne Mitchell is a diva of it, and Quayle a good companion. The radio music is a noisy good touch...” read more

“(OK) Vive Pagnol, vive Raimu, vive le peuple. The collectiv scenes around the impasse of Raimu, his wife and 'le berger' (an 'imbecile' for the repentant wife) , are unique in films, maybe they anticipate, in a way, "The quiet man". Dialofues are great ant the final touch with the return of the cat ” read more

“(OK) Simple, neat, but with an interesting twist, 'l'inconnue' Eve gracis changes opinion and advises the young mother to abandon child and husband, good touch...” read more

“(OK) Maybe the great intuition of Lang here is playing all the argument to a dream/nightmare; deceiving some expectations...well, Bennett relfected in the window is a dream....” read more

“(OK) Siodmak builds the film in the first half, everything is smooth, even Corey cheaing his wife woth Barbara. But, when the crime occurs, intrigue and passion rules and goes beyond noir topics...” read more

“(OK) Marc Allegret is strong here: era depiction, psycological romance, social climbing. Dauphin is excellent acting as a bad actor, Presle is good as a good actress, Jourdan just makes the triangle” read more

“(OK) Everything ok, directing, acting and writing, but lack of originality (Valentino like stuff) and conviction. Nissen is ok as socialite romantically shred to pieces in Arabia. Dhie in the harem is quite interesting...” read more

“(OK) Oh Huston at his human heights, so inside the shoes of loosers and drunkens, and thier dreams of grandeur. Winnning is snothing,living is as painful al heraing Susan Tyrrell.Men understands each other deeply...” read more

“(NX) La mayor violencia no es la de los cerros y pandillas de Monterrey sino el desarraigo de Ulises en NY. Lo identitario manda y ya no es patriótico, es la cumbia colombiana, sin referente nacional...” read more

“(0K) Great Technicolor, loose adaptation just to fir there Nelson Eddy in many operatic renditions. Helas, Rains is so good actor that doesn't allow Eddy and company and comic scenes steal his drama and his poor phantasmagorie.” read more

“(OK) A masterpiece where each part, directors justo for once, innovations (duo technicolor), story (great Ledoux), Chaney and the best of productios wirth elegance, and timing and progression (there's no hecatomb or burning of the opera, just a chandelier falls)...” read more

“(OK) Love hate this Donen till you see again the leaping nuns episode and thats surrender. But, before, that you have Raquel 'the body' in her lazy splendour, and the episode with the old lady deceived with a date with Hitchcock...” read more

“(OK) Versatile Christian Jaque, excellent pace, Philippe at his splendour (more than Lollo), and the tongue in cheak, occassionaly poignant (when king and court mention with indfiference the number of deaths) script...” read more

“(OK) Oh, Panahi the nice, slefish, intelligent, imaginative, funny, heavy iranian, who has the spark to catch stories and approaches, and, as here, rendering all of himself...” read more

“(OK) Loach in a thesis film, everything, even the most documenary aspects, is puto to reinforce the thesis of psycosis caused by milieu and unsufferable parents and a wrong professional approach (therés even the reunon in wich autorities cancel the correct human approach favoring the electroshocks)” read more

“(OK) Great melodrama, familiar pariarchal saga with a conformist suffering man in the middle. The vicious ones that obbeys the patrich and the rebels are better than the conforsmist one, that, in th eclimax, leaves his wike to die in labor, outisde the city walls for attending tha patriarch funeral.” read more

“(OK) The street dance scene, a flase climax in the middle of the film, retains its force, its 80s iconicity; but the rest of the film is cheaper. What flows is the force, the tone, the style of it , full of unknown characters...” read more

“(OK) La eficacia de la popular pieza, está allí, a la que apenas se le suma, el balo y las escaleras; pero la multipsicosis orquestada por el falso doctor, tiene una vena cursi, sin locura, sin frenesí...” read more

“(OK) Gets better on earth, but the square hell/heaven/limbo stuff, weighes too much on the plot, as wieghes the duality of characters, the cat and the man....” read more

“(OK) Delicia de narración lineal entendiendo que cada flashback es un relato de un personaje a otro, que termina refiriendo un próximo encuentro con alguien que le contará un secreto. Pudo ser suficiente esa pureza, pero hay detalles bizarros, fantasías de época (le criado y sus saltitos, los d” read more

“(OK) Five uneasy pieces with easy violent solutions, including suicide. Jia is classic and an action director in a way, because there's is some intimist shared between non loving characters...” read more

“(NX) Tamizada por todos los constreñimientos del taller, mirada y producción con mcuhas manos. El B/N, la ambientación histórica que no aporta al drama de una mafia que vive del sistema no de la coyuntura, el periodista de una gravedad extrema que apaga mucho, el folclor, el set rebuscado en lu” read more

“(OK) The ending and all the proceedings are so happy (we have the eternity for us, no, we have better than that, ¡two days¡), as Guitry having what he wants...” read more

“(NX) Kind of tv documentary femenist approach on motherhood and loss and stereotype on what a woman must feel and deal with it; but there are fine details on directing and writing (the unfinished bridge constructed by the husband, the long violent beginning in labor)...” read more

“(OK) Al least short don't know is goodbye to a form of language or goodbye to a career. Its more the first choice because these essays, planted with great funny coprolalic sexy poignant quotes (the best of Godard) are very godardien...” read more
