(OK) Guitry, one scale up in his maturity. Less joyfull than in the 30s, playfull but serene. Her character goes to death but happily, enjoying even a beautiful agony. The namedropping of historic celebrities heightens with La Fayette

(OK) Fine, elegant, precise, horror film without blood. Characters are complex, specially Julie Harris and her sexual, guilty, anguish.

(OK) De lo mejor de Torre Nilsson. La represión sexual erotiza y da significado y hasta suspense a todo, El baile de Elsa y Lautaro resulta más erótico que la 'violación consentida' del final. La idea de los duelos en la casa es fabulosa...

(OK) A sort of latinamerican or italian popular comedy in Canton, prerevolutionary china. Everything is rotten but funny and tha bad couple nevers succeeds in doing evil, and thatá a kind of running gag...Extrange combination of moods, the 60s of the film and the prerevolutionary one...

(NX) Cierta frialdad, academicismo en la ambientación, mucha confianza en que la mirada de los personajes dirá lo que la puesta en escena no puede; pero todo se enciende cuando entramos en la intimidad de las reuniones de los 42, y en la casi indolencia con la que el protagonista recibe los golpes físicos y simbólicos la final...

(OK) Daddy Tourneur had, as his son Jacques, a flair for fantastic tales, for demonology in a fine narrative way, ith anguished Fresnay and a funny little old man...

(OK) Here Maigret/Gabin has a past, a motif, nostalgic excesses. The castle with empty walls, the corpse of the countess (tender Valentine Tessier when alife), Auclair underacting, great photo and music...

(OK) Attenborough is so effective here playing in the edge of psycological crime thriller and fantasy horror maniac film with a proto Chucky model. Hopkins ans wonderful magret and even frank Lauter, improves everything. Burgess Meredith is excellent..

(OK) The appearance of Mr Hartmann from the false lecturing letters is charming, an indea for an adult romantic comedy with a fantasy touch. De Sica is so skillfull...

(OK) A light frivolous comedy on marriage, suffering the early talkies heaviness; but the extravagance of the long zeppelin party is worthwhile...
