(MU) De lo mejor de Almodóvar, crece con nueva visión; melodrama de amor terminal y eterno, entre romántico pervertido, enfermero voyeur y bailarina muerta en vida, replicado en otro caso sin perversión pero con amor. Y esos diálogos maravillosos donde los personajes se desgarran con naturalidad y lucidez desarmante.

(MU) Pervertion is the other side of perfectionism here. Big freaky surprises hide in schools -a conservatory here- where tutoring 'virtuosism' is the goal. Isabelle is right for that, mom Annie Girardot knows it.

(Mu) Mi-so carrying her 'house' to ohter friends home, is in a margin; always in the edge, even in her romance to other lazy looser. Nice character moving...

(OK) Good opportunity to see a Grimault antology, as one can see in equivalent films of Disney and Chaplin, with the bonus of Grimault talking to some of his characters, as flmed by Demy. And visited by Anouk Aimée...

(MU) Meditation, on different places (Japan, Guinea, Iceland, France) and topics, by a very wise man, Marker. Images are not gratuitous, narration and reflexion are stuck to them, but they lack order....

(Mu) Maybe this was the first film in wich I found those images. The setting (just seren travellings and shots on the ground) ant then, trying to be normal knowing its imposible, the images, the voice in off description...

(Mu) A world of themes and more than themes: fantasy, daly life, a city, intimis, futball and cinema, summer, poetry.... When the narrator tells that the horoine had been told by 3 things (a plant, a camera, the wind) of a spell, then she and he chane looks; whnen boys see a ball in the sky (the only secuence referred to tha title)...

(Mu) Vard just in her neighborhood, where the stores and its tennants are the stars. 'Bread, milk, butter, are the stars' she says when filming people buying in a grocery store. The magician stuff is an excelletn happening to structure the film...

(Mu) Maybe, the best Varda. Bonnaire is so marginal that camps in winter; but each of her staings is a commitment with she doesn't know what. The 'enquete' style doesn't bother too much; each Bonnaire secuence is above all...

(Mu) Happy bullying if it is possible. Or revenge of the nerds with so many differences between them, from just being 'le nouveau' to disability...
