(OK) Shot and easy and modest and elegant George Sidney debut, with a precode kind of 'lubitsch' argument of foturne hunters, not in Paris though. Cummings is very sympathetic courting Judith Anderson for money and Ruth Hussey for love...

(YT) Just for the segments in black in which there´s just the narration of Jack Smith, the provocative, lunatic, arty, sexula undefined, whatever rotagonist who could be somebody or nothing...

(OK) Bresson essays his scherzo, harsh edited, elliptical, meaningfull style, with Sanda mystery. The fatality that begins with the suicide and spoils the end, is so sad that attempts to the mystery. We don 't see Sanda double life, but participate in husbands jealousy...

(OK) A sort of 'Big carnival' in Salvador, open air, with the victim/hero in the middle of chaos. The theatrical origin doesn't bother the style and composition, but is a bit heavy on dialogues. The force of direction imposes over the many thesis of the story...

(MU) Cronenberg summa teologica. Flesh, sex, art, distopia, all the combinatios between those essential elements, with a bit of thriller (thats the less inetresting, but dinamizes the narration), ambiguity, excellent Mortensen. That's a 'no pain' society that because of that indulges in self cuts and so....

(OK) Powerfull trio. Lombard is as lovable as Grant sees her; and Francis is a bitch with conviction. Dialogues are a bit indicative; but actors and Cromwell make them dramatic The exteriors hace some charm...

(YT) In this Harry Smith figurative images are a kind of abstraction, fresh and not so random surrealism (there are recurrent figures), no edition, figures apear and dissapear in the frame and transform inside...

(YT) Some new figures, as a baby and the religious stained glass, takes its place among the disgregation internal movement stuff...

(YT) Oh, Brackage take its time to repeat and advance a little his abstraction and image disgregation, scarcely composing another figures, you see more of the mand, dog and mountain...

(OK) Second part is too similar to the first one, continue the disgregation and internalmovement of image and its traces, and some glimpses of the man, dog and mountain only theme...
