(MU) The right testimony of a troubled short creative life. McQueen goes from selfasuring savage rupturist designer to unsufferable diva; his friends and victims talk, and the shows talk great for themselves. Lovably the model in white being painted by two machines...

(MU) Terayama in shangai whoresploitation, with Kinski amusing himself (well, half the film is grumpy) as voyeur and fucker. The heroine is a lousy actress, Dombalse is better and the wasted pretty chinese boy...

(MU) Nice texts, even in its apparent lack of order, but poor quality of images in black and white. The alobi of being illustrations of an epistolar text is not enough...

(MU) Joao Pedro with text and personal story of Joao Rui Guerra, thriller and essay, tragic and noir but without seeing the main characters. Just seeing Macao with the colonial nostalgia of cool portuguese...

(YT) Black humour, against a heavy boy, less baroque than Melies, with seems more realist in its fantastic subject...

(MU) Joao Pedro is the best portuguese director alike, even better than affected Miguel Gomes. This is a wide melodrama, mythical in the last trip of Tonia and Rosario (the scale in the home of the trans is so) , moving, excellent in each close up...

(MU) So moving little story, the fallaing leaves in the backgrund and in the mind and action of little girl believing she will save her sister's life tying them to a tree; makes you forgive the forced happy end and the anticipated texts...

(OK) More than sins are human weakness satyrized, good approach for Godard mocking Constantine tired to lace his shoe or undress to have sex with a star; de Broca making chaotic and constumbrist eating out of death travel and rituals; Chabrol mocking a whore de luxe; Molinaro with the sexy Dany Saval, Demy having culture and imaginatuon of lust (Terzieff and Trintignant good pair). Ionesco a disaster destroying earth sans humor...

(MU) A small discovery, this almost sci fi black comedy, with 4 Tildas, engaging, romantically or vampirically with men, has charm...

(MU) Story of Israel and Palestine as background with pacifist point of view, a selfish heroine, a too conscious one (Mama Hind), 3 or 4 stories behind them, long cameos by Dafoe and Redgrave, brightless direction. The best are the authentic Jerusalem locations
