(OK) The Clouzot/Jouvet is the most poignant, but the simpler Cayatte/Blier with the wrecked ex lady prisoner is ok, too. The Frnacois Perier sketch could be better and funnier and sexier; Noel Noel is more than ok and the Serge Reggiani is ok.

(OK) Tue surnatural is not even a main theme, here is the human drama, the search of a compensation for the wrecked Ellen Burstyn. Sam Sheperd is a simpathetic young mad man...

(OK) A minor one in one of the best parts of Dwan's career. Brady is a too contrived hero, some good moments, but his revenge side is too simple. Sets are simple too, and the story makes too many concessions for reaching the happy end, Deaths are indifferent...

(MU) Bright debut. Those two characters live another life, and progressively cares about it, then loses faith in it. All that matters is sirviving and betting. Nice actor the boy...

(Mu) Comedy without gags, everything is little nightmarish accidentes, asfixiating space, a filmmaker trying in vaine to get a style, trying naively to shock, bah...

(OK) Versatile Becker, this time, with subylety and passion depicts youth loves and dilemmas of foreign proyects. Gelin is convincing. A great scene in the party in a room with a girl singing the blues, and making the right atmosphere for decissions of love and life.

(OK) Spielberg choses the point of view of a non ET and a non scientific who knows the clues of close encounters (Truffaut, who doesn't even speak good english) ; the drama of being obsessed and lossing his family its to present in a moment, but then Dreyfuss and Melinda Dillon goes the main theme...
