(MU) Sweet melancholy, someone has to al least try to leave the reservation, condemned indian patriarchy and rodeo masochistic culture, fading folklore, reenacting another folk culture...

(MU) It has the harsh Chahine touch of his late films; also the pesimism. Not only the prodigal but the family and society and even religion he comes back, are doomed...besides some poor musical numbers and social struggle background...

(MU) ¿Why Portugal has a so deep, dense, philosophical, filmakers? Here there are ruins of not just buildings and monuments but thughts, stories and history.

(MU) Nice cute and also deep debut by ambitiuos Gomes. Here is coming of age, tone, hommage to musical in a generic way, sexy, everything...

(MU) Good title, good central plot; but Nair tends to simplify which is complex and elegant in essence. The CIA agent character is weak...

(MU) The end of the calabrese trilogia is less conemplative, more accion than "A Ciambra" (there´s Pio Amato in a cameo) and a kind of pedagogic when faher explains Chiara the survival by crime, befroe she parts for a new life...

(MU) A surprise, Kusturica of Rumania, in a little town in the middel of war, corruption and some tender rituals. The heroine is so sympathetic as the doctor, thier friendship i so romantic, beginning and end has other style and approach...

(MU) Gran historia en la que Rip se concentra y se agota en la ambientación y la minucosidad del relato; no hay grandes actuaciones,; pero el gran y largo final, más estilizado, ritualizado y con un dramatismo de otra dimensión lo vale todo...

(MU) Pure Angelopoulos in a existentialist road movie through greek little cities, and two curipos charcters, Mastroianni evading, suffering, liking, chasing and being chased by that girl, healthier than him in the end....the bess are just a buzz backgound, theres no honey here, but some suprises as the truck invading the cafe...

(MU) So dynamic, agile, full of elipsis and some violent action, building Omar Shariff male sexy stardom acompanied by a fierce sort of gypsy and a white pale princess...Hollywood nurturing a dessert epic in the real places...
