(USB) Just part one, with enough time to forget so many tribes and concentrate on Timothée coming of age and surviving in the desert, father dying; Vullenueve reaches some core in the sand

(OK) Great story, noir with social ambition as a plus. Cummins works and Mature, well, his wide back resist critics. Barrymore is convincing even in her caricatural ending...

(OK) Un relojito de almodovarismo, melodrama puro con arrebatos de pasión, perosnajes que se explica y hasta dicen lo que no hicieron, incecencia e ingenuidad con eficacia total; el héroe es un hijo del transporte de Madrid, la ciudad y muchas cosas habitan en él...

(MU) Texture, tone, fantasy, Tilda 'mu son is a monser' Swinton, satanic handsome Ezra Miller, a happily distracted faher, real rotten spanish tomatoes...

(NX) A musical in progress, a professional autobiography, that is as ineresting as frustrating. The HIV early nineties stuff, the essays, the one and only who can win, those topics are more american than universal...I wann see "Rent"

(OK) Fuck Griffith social and moral observation, he'll always be late in that; the romantic and melodramatic mood with the glorious articulo mortis wedding, that the film..

(MU) More 'simply bad' than 'film maudit', but who can resist such a cast? Varda must've felt guilty to have such great people doing nonsente (¡Denueve and De Niro improvising an idiot scene, Moreau and Schygulla looking each other trying to do something, Belmondo and Lollobrigida in lousy cameos, Bonnaire ridiculing her role in "Sans toit ni loi"!)...

(MU) Gorgeous restauration. Chaplin as a royal witness of America's materialism ans lack of nobility, not in the monarchial way but in the humna. Just see his sober silent expression when he realizes the boy has benn blalckmailed to accuse his parents comrades...

(Yt) Ophuls is already an excellent 'caligraphist' with camera and sets, and same time as romantic and fatalist -with small town Goethe's angst- as in "Liebelei". There´s some pathos in each romantic impossible encounter...

(Mu) A working man in a small rural place (the poor working man is so close to the tramp that his sunday clothes... are those of the tramp), with a naif Edna, fightinf for her with some weak gags. The best part, for its lyric naiveté, is Chaplin dreaming a ballet with nymphs...
