(Yt) The flair, the rythm, the humour of 'Lady vanishes'; but not as perfect. This has some irregular ups and downs, plays with time and has a great ending with the killing of a dead man. Lom has a good segment...

(Mu) Lacks the wit and the joy of other Rohmer's, but has the quality of an essay narrated in off, with the bonus of a dream. It has the quality of being disturbing

(C) The narrative of astonishment, this is the kind of film/spectacle where you can number in an add the epic segments: look at the fight with the giant squid, look at ta submarine burial, look al the race of the canibals....

(OK) Nelson Pereira hace sentir el agotamiento del agua y la energía, en la primera parte, la violencia natural contra los animales (la muerte del loro), la civilización brilla en falso esplendor en la incursión en el pueblo con ropa incómoda y una noche en la prisión, y vuelve al ciclo de la supervivencia en el desierto de piel y arena

(Mu) A discovery, a gem of two worlds clash (in fact one world with displacement of tle little master from city to sea village, from prosche to girlshome); a tragedy predicted by all but asumed by its characters...

(Mu) Has all the images of policial abuse, well studied and selected, but has too many one sided opinions (only one police speaks) on violence of state and not a wide explanation on violence os society...

(OK) Apart from a weak actor as Scipione; everything is brilliant. From Cabiria to this Scipione mass action in italian cinema is in its peak. Hannibal is so moving loving theforeign land he figths for; Sofonisba is the perfec Cleopatra, her king is a 'don´t ask a madman for his madness' great support character, Isa Miranda is tragic...there are elegant touches between action (as a siluette of a ship depicting the bitter return of Hannibal)...

(Mu) Not only a rounf Rohmer in 4 chapters, but a study of so opposed and complementary characters : a stubborn, naif, intuitive girl from the country and the cold, rational, sometimes anarchic girl form the city...Le heure bleu in the first chapter is as miracolous as le rayon vert

(Mu) A subtle irony (in the story because in style and acting is more obvious) illuminates and warms the film. One of the less documentary Varda's...

(Mu) Conventional love story wih bonus track of nice songs in the making and Dublin setting and pathos...
