(MU) Zanussi depicts a decadent, sardonic, acid family of aristocrat Olbrychski for amusement of his peasant friend. Alluring character his sister...

(MU) Rareza con Christopher Lee paseando por el Madrid franquista, museos, calles, fade outs de una España que Portabella despide antes que otros. Lee se divierte a su gusto, incluso canta...

(MU) Tired of the clise´s of the competitive world of models. Ther're so cold to deaht, bound for suffering, pfff.

(MU) Little film, coming of age with a father and an absent mother, a girl matures so much in the film that she throws her bear toy. Best scene: when dad, mad with fury, doesn't want to ener the Great Canyon in spite of his boy's tears...

(MU) As effective and terrorific as possible. Good expositios of characters and feelings before they entered the cave and fight with uncertainty, darkness and a strange species of hominids...

(MU) Surprise? Not only a fulm on Lourdes and handicaped 'pelerinage' (or religious tourism) but an essay on miracles and the unfairness and ansurd and envy involved in that. Why she? asked everybody about a woman's miracle, but don't ask sametime why she? was handicaped...

(OK) 5 years in a rela lifetime, naural actors, specially, two girls and thier moms, throwing everything in the process. Interesting and warm...

(MU) Tense short on cominf of age boy provoking his faher being humiliated by a stranger. Well, the father deserved it and the boy reamins unpunished

(OK) No possible loss with Risi, Romy and Marcello in Pavía. Haunted in a realist romantic drama, in a provincial closure; with a politica tone, a climax in a historic covered bridge, what else?

(NX) Began and ends in war, subtlety (de)dramatized (its a german film!), you feel something siffeent as simple fear and exasperation, its a kind of alienation form home... Good beginning with tha recycling of uniforms...
