Four Roads review

(OK) Just a good and simple idea for the lockdown: take an old 16mm camera and use the zoom to maintain social distantiation...

Repast review

(OK) Naruse sees women and family with purity, care, serenity. Rebellion is as noble as obeying. There are two women, young and not so young, oposed and equivalent (wife and niece)...

Cargo 200 review

(Mu) Dammed cult film by Balabanov. Kaurismaki with Tarantino y russiand cold settings. The idea of the pokicmena son unexpressive obsessed with a girl, ann throwing he coprse of his boyfriend un the bed where she is rapted and handcuffed, is shocking and great...

Shiva Baby review

Rendezvous in July review

(OK) Versatile Becker, this time, with subylety and passion depicts youth loves and dilemmas of foreign proyects. Gelin is convincing. A great scene in the party in a room with a girl singing the blues, and making the right atmosphere for decissions of love and life.

Harvest review

(OK) A song to the country, to people, to attraction, to aspirattion. The 3 inhabitants ruined town is planted and harvested in the glorious end. There´s even sex, extremely light and firm, in the night Orane meets Gabrio...

Remontons les Champs-Élysées review

(OK) A light Guitry as he is always light and bright; but this time, thereps no time to get insidde somo characters and thier moods. Well, the king obsessed with his friend's death, the fighting marriage; but everything told in a way that you can't develop a Guitry story...

Looks and Smiles review

(OK) The realistic religion of Loach (similar to french naturalism, but better in depicting social young unemployment, and with the eternal look of industrial revolution cities); all is aged...
