(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...

(BLU) Aldrich so early made this small perfect noir with atomic alibi; as a proof that he later could make "Kiss me deadly". Duryea is impeccable, Marian Carr an unsuccessfull debutante. Better are the support by Knowles, Keye Luke, Gene Lockhart...

(PA) Realismo emocional hacia el vacío....mamá se muere...un bebé demanda atención...y una sensación de gravedad impostada que no se desprende de la historia...

(MU) Lars von Trier in one of his ars filmica, granulated manifestos (as his debut "Elemento of crime"), here around a film on an epidemic. Some stunning scenes with Wagner's soundtrack, the harge of Walkirias, and there are Hollywood quotations, a strange scene with Udo Kier...

(OK) Apart from the much publicized Truffaut's 'Antoine et Collette', the romantic pahetic douce amer coming of age of Doinel; there's a voluble romaticization of a hero by Wajda, love and interest in Renzo Roselini's, Marcel Ophuls tries unsuccessfully to be modern in an episode on a child and love with no marriahe, Ishigahara with a pycho is unworthy of commentary...

(Blu) As simple for Bergman, here just with photos, as his episode of "Stimulantia" about his son Daniel. From there he uses a video of mother Karin and grandson...

(OK) Some surprises, much better than Bergman doddying with his child Daniel. Molander, in his last, have Ingrid Bergman and Bjornstrand in a quick, tight, impecable "The collar" by Maupassant; Harriets Andersson in a perversion higinical softcore by Jorn Donner, Sjoman room fantasy with a black gils is less interesting, The episode on Chaplin is better than the one with the opera singer. Good idea the stimulus alibi...

(BLU) Bergamn compleed whta he made fresh and with no ambitios ten years ago. Here, there is history and facts on Faro that puts the interviews in context...

(Blu) Nice, very little, a few information and just Bergman chatting, in a classic doccumentary interview frame, with his neighbours...

(MU) Last Wajda film, the tragedy of a disabled artist pushed to misery and death by stalinism in Poland. In his end, wich is the films ending, he stumbles over mannequins and stays in the floor under an arm, in a composition that makes you recall the upside down christ in "Popol i diament"...
