(Mu) Godard amuses with Leaud and pretty maif popular Chantal Goya singing anything. Macho Leaud is confronted, deconstructed, mocked, saved, privet jocked (he is general Doinel in one scen,e theres Brigitte Bardot in other, and so on)...

(OK) Freda antipating peplums and in the same time making a political film with more intrigue of power than action. The race track of 'cuadrigas' is Ben Hur Style but that is an unreachable reference; Freda is better with Gianna Maria surrounded by shields trying to escape the blind man...

(OK) Great even difficult, because Dovjenko wants elements, gestures, edition and poetry, telling everything.

OK) Capra with no great clown (Langdon or whatever), finding his romantic vein against social background, even a comment on enterprise and capitalism, the ham is cut thick or thin...

(OK) A short that lasts a long feature: great idea, a master of gags, the guys trying to get to Hardy's appartment when the elevator runs off...

(Mu) Rozema has her flair, her charm, her great character here, Polly in love with she doesn't knoe exactl what. She is pure light against snobbish boss, art and arty prejudices an background...

(OK) Losey never more effective director: Redgrave and McKern in one of the best male character duels in british cinema. Suspense and big drama when Redgrave and Todd visits the condemned son. Even a overexposed light improves everything...
