(MU) Holistic in a prosaic, small urban way; but choral protagonism focused on two lesbian directors of a cultural center melted with the commnity against the trendy, confusing, imposing, publicized, corrupt, new art...a world in one small city...

(MU) A nain, good actor, just finding a place, enthroning himself, dignifying himself against pomp and circumstance, funny, bizarre, natural...

(YT) Experimental, feminist, vanguardist, well acted by Arquilliére, the plot of the gun is a good devise, circular; inside is the woman imagination, but a bit confusing and chaotic...

(YT) Two delicate birds or feathers rocked in the storm of history. The action is better than in Intolerance and rounds beautifully the heroines. For instance, when Lillian see Dorothy from the balcony, when Danton and Robespierre apears for the firt time and Lillian leaves the scene...

(MU) Lovable because begins with a little conte d'eté, then the main body is the conte d'hiver in paris and Nevers, and ends in the miracle....

(OK) Really a lousy Ray, bad story where you don't understand the volatile characters, Ray avoids some clises to fall in bigger ones: Wilde as a dancer who dances far in the dark is so miscast!!

(MU) Pioneerism, complexity of themes, good decision of havong good and bay guys within the balck comunity, gossip, ambitios, betrayal, even a bribed preacher...

(YT) The last sequence is in another dimension, abstraction when you see just two figures in a changing, melting, landscape, Barthelmess ging from one piece of ice to another, heroism and romance as bonus...

(OK) How to rate this? Compostion and direction is primitve, but storytelling with contrast, even suspense and crescendo, is seminal.....there´s pure history...

(OK) Last musical by Donen, sober, tender with rthe characters but never corny, Gwen Verdon at her best as actress, and dancer (his Lola gets what Lola wants is divine, even better than her number with husband Fosse)...
