(MU) Pretty sweet swan songs, with envolving effective intense travellings, an agonic cameo by Marianne Faithfull, some explanations of creative process by Cave and Ellis...

(MU) Effective Sergio Grieco's nunsploitation, with interesting finale of the nuns straving in the walled convent. But that's not the ending, there´s a happy one in a Romeo and Juliet lost trace...

(OK) Wise is a wise man, as bad man Cagney, reddemed in the eyes of Papas and Dubbins, after the barefeet martyrdom of McNally, Dano and Vic Morrow. Great scenes of the frustrated lynching and the effective lynching, Cagney meditative while Papas plays piano in the distance...

(OK) Laurel & Hardy in domestic abstraction (a bit 'WC Fieldiesque') and a funny, intense escape to a convention....

(MU) The last film of husband Nick Ray (We can´t go home again) didn't deserve a documentary by widow Susan, divorced from the best of his filmography, a waste...

(OK) Donen at his most theatrical film, even if he looks for park and neigborhood. But Burton and Harrison are too verbal, they describe everything in a sardonic way that leaves nothing to another kind of action...Maybe was a way to cold down the too hot topic for 1969

(MU) Great documentarian, Rosi doesn't need words and explanations in this somber yet vivid, exploration in war territories and borders. The great scene of the mother in the cell of his death sob is worth the film. The therapy piece of history essayed by the mental partients is perfect for make some explanations...

(OK) Oh, how it gets bigger¡ While viewing it for the 2nd time and afeter viewing it: sex and ethics till the end, Stanwyck and Asther copulates not touching theirselves, just to the end, when he 'tea suicide'; Connolly is the bad conscience, this is Sternberg with deepness...

(MU) Cult film, three layered, two multi characters (they are friends, gudes, cat and mouse, surfer bank robbers, anti system) ; iconic and glorious with the presidents masks, aged in the gratuituos fights...

(MU) Matt Dillon has a replicant, anfer he asks her a quiestion and takes her to his family; the plot gets reapeted: fantasy form daily life...
