(OK) Even with no subtitles, so adult, straigh, castrati exploitation, good acting (Vittorio Caprioli as Matteuccio is excellent), transgender in a unique way; brilliant in every aspect, including hairstyling (the giant 'perruque' of Anouk Aimée), a surprise...In Rome ypu buy 'tuto' says Ferrari...

(Mu) Delicate, playfull Varda's approach to Aragon and loving wife Elsa. 'You always escape from me, never know what you're thinking' tells he poet to her ans to us...

(OK) The fantasy is excellent, but the town is too poor minded, doesn't help the spectator to be amazed in front of Lao...

(DVD) In retrospective, seems an early pos feminist film. Streep is a woman looking for her life after suffering patriarchal Hoffman, abandons her child twice, but gets a life while Hoffman becomes an excellet loving father housewife. Good acting an directing...

(Mu) Long secuences, climbing in interest and tension, building a young widow profiel with daughter and son, some details (the bycicle and the mute owner) catches the attention...

(OK) Ray Harryhausen at his early best, including a fencing skeleton that anticipates the skeleton army in 'Jason', the serpent shiva godess, the cyclops, Torin Thatcher as magician, a charming little spectacle...

(OK) Overvalued but anyhow valliant and modern. The genre perspective has force and -there is a problem- collides with the strike itself. Some paralellisms (heroine in labor and his husband) are lousy; but the picketing women are great

(Mu) British realism at its best, in just one situation, a mother that dates her old flame hiding his 3 sons outside the disco....and its convincing

(Mu) Varda is a good art critis, so listen to her narration/description in off. Is always better than the interviews. The murals, well, is always interesting to compare them with ehat would've look if they were simple paints hanging...

(MU) 3 munutes, anything goes, and for Agenes here is the stairs of la Cinemateque with scenes with stairs in films...
