Sparrows review

(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)...

Through the Olive Trees review

(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...

Presentation, or Charlotte and Her Steak review

(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...

Bérénice review

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

The Kreutzer Sonata review

(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

Véronique and Her Dunce review

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

The Coward review

(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...

Smiles of a Summer Night (1955) review

(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'...

Lingui review

(Mu) In the world stream of feminist extreme cries for help; but has some masterful elegance in composition and direction...

Griffin and Phoenix review

(OK) Great story for a tvmovie. Terminal love story with hiperhistrionic but excellent Falk and Clayburgh. Well located in LA, vibrant , a pity was not made with a film budget...
