(Blu) Harryhausen had lot of reosurces here, it's an hommage from him (as coproducer) to his skills; but he ges no further than the wonderful "Jason" or even his "Sinbad". The character of Calybos, the punsishment in the sea are better than Medusa and the Kraken...Firt part is better....Olivier is better than the ladies

(MU) Pialat stumbles with Bonnaire here, the relaxed happy ending somehow contradicts the uneasy comming og age and the familiar violence around Sandrine; chaotic love affairs, chaotic motivations, wait for another Pialat's...

(PA) Favio siempre sorprende por versaitlidad de enfoques y estilos; su Aniceto y Francisca fue al teatro y a la danza y con decorados perfectos, secundarios y temas abstraidos, escogió algunas escenas del original para amplificarlas. Se confirma décadas después que el gallo era más importante para Aniceto que Francisca...

(PA) Favio acabó por establecer su estilo, ambicioso en el lenguaje, minimalista en la ejecución, corto; pero sensual, con diálogos algo ampulosos. Cine de autor, nueva ola que tiende a los folk en "Nazareno", anti romántico. Más triste le es a Aniceto separarse de su gallo que de Francisca...

(PA) Favio es un mundo aparte pero con los pies en la tierra. Vuelve simple y digerible esta historia ampulosa, la convierte en nueva ola folk con incrustaciones de licantropía, softcore rural, y un diablo que habla en quechua....

(OK) Srickland has style and dubious taste but not too much humour. As academic and abstract based on abrasive details (farts, food, sound) as Greenaway. Great idea taking a colonoscopy as art performing....

(MU) Where were we when Gray made this, where was Gray when making this? More tnah a policial drama, its a melodrama of filiation. A son trascending his father, betray of his woman (even Eva Mendes is great), big ending in nature....

(PA) The top 1 in the last list of Sight & Sound. A hazardous casual pick to confirm the divorce of film critic and popular taste. Besides that, an amazing Akerman, cold, well structured, comprehensibly reiterative, pudic routine of an sranged widoy housewife and his uniteresting son....till an ending not worth spoiling...

(Blu) So rich, so fantastic, so great theme the love and care of animals; but Fleischer seems effortless in spite of production values and impeccable Harrison and Eggar...

(MU) Self indulgent, character that goes in circles but being Dafoe, well he's excused. His point of view is the only that matters till you see him exploding...
