(Mu) Another Varda romantic documentary around a place, a statue, texts and letters and people in park benches...and a Varda cameo

(OK) Golden evocation of gay sensitive Paris of the early 1900, when movies and love were made in such wordless expressive ways. Great scenes, as in most Clair's; for instance the wings of the girl hanging in the room, as she is laid with the studio owner...Perier is excellent, Chevalier is just a nice fellow

(OK) One pace ahead of Hollywood romantic comedies; there´s some melancholy and criticism in the way Max/De Sica is followed in his impostation...

(Mu) The explanation of varda and Ydessa herself of her exposition is so compelte and clear that the documentary adquieres an descriptive dimention enriched with Agnes never bad texts...

(Mu) The couple , the text and the arquitecture of Iran, other Iran, for occidental tourims when it was welcome; other Iran than the one you see in irianian contemporary films;

(Mu) Another too perosnal essay in the bundaries of fiction and doccumentary by Varda. She projects some themes, as loneliness and anonmity , in her assintant. One of the LA based Vardas' films...

(YT) Keaton goes in and out of the frame, as normally as he makes a gag. There´s some lovably well constructed long gagas are the one with the money in the pile of garbage or Buster evading through a windoy with an old woman's cloth...

(Mu) A documentary essay, so personal, the story of a photo she took, nice texts, but goes round ans roiund the same ideas and characters next to her (the child model was her neighbour in Paris)....

(Mu) Round anecdote, and in the long middle part, Rohmer just follow, wanders with his character, till he beocmes a clochard, a kind of Michel Simon in the edge of la nouvelle vague...

(Ok) Honour the kitsh! Montez is thrilling in her cobra dance pointing with the finger the ones who are gonna be thrown to the vulcano. Idiot plots, deus ex machina silly solutions, sexy actors (Sabu tortured, John Hall seduced) and glamorous technicolor...
