(Mu) Nice simple clean happy ending story of a family suspecting and then embracing a relative that teaches a lot og global lessons, including the rediscovery of cultural roots. The uncle, naturally, speaks of many great topics...

(Mu) Humor conmovedor, personajes que se encuentra relacionados y hasta repetidos, se emocionan y mienten por idioteces; sin alardes visuales ni de estilo, no es extravagante, es rara, cada detalle es una joyita como el saco Armani

(Mu) Pasión y un poco de amor loco, con fondo de identidades y talentos literarios contrapuestos y una fuga al campo reparador donde la Chus Lampreave, mamá de todos, le dice a Marisa que es una vaca sin cencerro, hermoso....

(Mu) Jia Zhan's first. The depression and psychological escape of a picckpockt after seeing that a close friend of his hasn't invited him to his wedding, because he's ashamed. His rlation to a whore, and the first time he sings, all thar is a kind of dostoievskian; great moving ending...

(Mu) What doesn't happen (a friendly or even sexy catarsis between friends), or what happenned (an old and mysterious youth joy), is more intense that what you see, but there´s interest in it...

(Mu) Oh, Assayas amuses a lot with this parody with a neurotic director (Leaud) who abandons the film and the whim of having Maggie Cheung in the lead, and some characters behind camera are immatures and gossipy fellows...

(Mu) The false smile, as a rictus, of the main character, makes sense when the film, taking long time but never boring, advances. Farhadi doesn'y deliver all the pieces, so you have your own doubts about the character and his mystified honor, and more than that, about iranian social hypocrisy and confusion...Nobody is entirely bad or good here...

(MU) Me reconcilié con esta de Pedro que parecía que se ató camisa de fuerza porque el secuestro constreñía mucho, pero un momento (Victoria pidiendo que la ate por si acaso) y algunos diálogos con esa 'asertividad y franqueza que disuelve y regenera el melodrama', que lo celebra y lo supera a la vez, me convencieron. Al final. provocá cantar 'Resistiré' con ellos...

(Mu) Kar Wai goes with his aestetics to martial arts historical genre and he diffuminaes the clarity of the sotry, even time and identity of characters. Even so, there's tone, texture, sediments, good action secuences with stop motions and then good dialogues (all the women woth the eggs stuff and the dalogues between friends is ok)...

(Mu) A 'fresco', not at all a 'fiasco'. Malcolm is always marginal and fanatical, when founds his own group and become more politial centered, is too late. He planted all he received and Spike is not too worried in the final balance.... The woman has a very strong character for the 90's...
