(OK) Five uneasy pieces with easy violent solutions, including suicide. Jia is classic and an action director in a way, because there's is some intimist shared between non loving characters...

(NX) Tamizada por todos los constreñimientos del taller, mirada y producción con mcuhas manos. El B/N, la ambientación histórica que no aporta al drama de una mafia que vive del sistema no de la coyuntura, el periodista de una gravedad extrema que apaga mucho, el folclor, el set rebuscado en lugar de la ciudad reencontrada...

(OK) The ending and all the proceedings are so happy (we have the eternity for us, no, we have better than that, ¡two days¡), as Guitry having what he wants...

(OK) Ophuls caligraphy in its Hollywood welcoming, in the beginning and int the fabolous mill set. Fairbanks is agile and smooth, and Montes ravissante in a short appearance...

(OK) Small korean incursion in american agriculture, with a vintage grandma, a hideous and funny and doomed character; but corny end in a way...

(OK) Oh, Ming Liang and his long sequence shots and his wandering characters, lost in the world. Here a father and two children lost to a strange woman; and a shot longer than the other where he senses the loss and eats a cabagge personifying the daughter...

(OK) Good man, Apichatpong, dealing in such a warm, daily, natural way with fantastic themes. The soldiers of a hospital are, medium, of ancient souls, and a nurse knows it...
