(OK) One of the best films on the occupation, sans heros, sans sang, sans la guerre meme. Gabin is excellent, bogger than life, amusing, shouting and intimidating Louis de Funes and Bourvil is so humble and natural. Great secuences as Bourvil playing music to hide the killing of the pig...

(MU) Apichatpong can make anything appealing, even with this lousy stop motion camera. At least the girl painting her toe nails with blue is cute...

(MU) Subtle Wang study on a family that represses the loss of an unborn child; and understands that has to produce a farewell...

(Mu) Excellent documentary on a dictator and a period of extreme violence very well depicted by thier victims...
