(Mu) Ferrara hits the mark, Pasolini is surrounded by friends and relatives (la mamma, Laura Betti in thin Maria de Medeiros version, Ninetto Davoli himself and an actor playing Ninetto), discusses a new project, is interviewed and goes arounf with a gay boy and you know what happens. ..

(dvd) A lonely fight of one policmen against corruption, moreintimate than politicla, and political in fact. The demoralization of Pacino is great, een if it is long and takes too many episodes and races and arrests...

(Yt) Pickfor in her essence: she is asked about the 10 orphans around her and replies that they´re hers, ignorisn the sexual facts of motherhood. Action with crocodiles and lethal sands in he bayou, chase of criminal, mystical melodrama (they send a kite with a message to god)...

(Mu) Tender metafiction, great characters in an on camera, specially Hussein and his impossible love...Kiarostami's alter ego is always surpassed and laughed at, by reality...

(Mu) First Rohmer. Yeah, not becuase of Godard as an actor,but has, in his nonchalance and pace and naturalitic , a pre nouvelle vague condirtion...

(Mu) Rohmer plays with a Peo teeth obsession, and has an experimemntal look, in editing and acting, that makes you forgive the poor techniques...

(Mu) The narraon in off doesn´t match the scenes in most of he film. Brialy is just playing in an amateristic way. The scene in the Cahiers du Cinema office (its Tuffaut there! ) is a cameo in itself

(Mu) So simple, at least is well acted and directed, not as the first silent Rohmers with narraton in off...

(Mu) Short, straigh, elegant, great acted, Satyahit Ra´s sympathy for the woman piece. The man who doesn'y risk to love, the woman resigned to a comfort marriage, the harsh but intellignet husband and a great ending...

(OK) Great stoy and direction and everything by Bergman. He already had a world for himself. The comic touches (as the bed with a musical mechanism) are placed with charm, while characters are great frivolous manipulators as in 'liaison dangereux'...
