(OK) Las historias son buenas y salvan a Alazraki (junto a los actores naturales), del maniqueismo que lo hace subrayar los contrastes. Pero hay una curiosidad hacia la estética indígena incluso en los peores personajes de gringos prejuiciosos que, en realidad, no desprecian, sino se apropian...

(OK) Newman made some wonders with wife and accomplice Joanne. Here a character movie, under Joanne skin and intimate visualized thoughts, son natural, so repressed, so credible...

(OK) De Mille in his more moralist, social reflexion driven, paralell to some of Griffith's best films, first phase. Hatton makes credible his extreme character...

(OK) Mmhh, Clair is so aged in a second view. There´s no popular charm here, vcharacters are not redeemed firm its imposed wildness, are non moral, non intelligent. Just elegance of sets and coherence of music...
