The Life of Matsu the Untamed review

(OK) Yeah, better than the more ambitious colour remake. This is as modest and firm as his character. Not a simple man, netiher a simpel story, because there´s too much socilal prejudices unexplicit...

Gate of Hell (1953) review

(OK) Action, ful spectacle, and, yes, there's petry in the unveiling of swords and cirmes in he beginning, in silent suffering of Machyko Kyo, in la amour fou of the hero...

Poison review

(OK) Te complete auteur, Sacha presents his cast, amueses himself with a great piece of cinicism depitcting social life and marriage and crime...with a strole of genius in the momento of the stroke of a knive in Michel Simon´s wife

La Pointe Courte (1956) review

(OK) Bad nouvelle vague and good documentarism, all in one, even in the same scenes. The match of the ancient strange game in the 'venetina' canal, is so rare, that you expect a miracle as in "Viaggio a Italia", but wait, Agenes in her debut is too far from Rosellini

Poil de carotte review

(OK) The silent version is less pure than the 1932, but Mme Lepic is an excellent monster. I would've loved to stay more sequences with little 'Poil de carotte' in his solitude, before and after being bullied by mom and brothers

Forbidden Planet review

(OK) A rare gem of early space opera, wonderfull 'earthly' settings in space, good argument; poor cast for a great production, but Pidgeon is excellent

Pirosmani review

(OK) All the sadness of the world, the peculiar world of Tbilisi georgian taberns, itn the look of Pirosmani. While in life, just the curiosity of othar painters to shy to drink with him...

The Black Pirate review

(OK) A wonderfull choreography of swashbuckling, boat climbing with swords cutting the veils, and extreme violence of the pirates. The early less colured technicolor makes wonders here.

Western Union review

(OK) All the charm of an early technicolor western; with a tragic Scott, suffering in silence; a comic touch with rhe drunken indians ends in violence (Chil Wills is killed/crossd in the post)....

Pinocchio (1940) review

(YT) It has not the social poor backgrund of Collodi, but Gepetto is as humble and naif as Pinnochio is arroant in his tenderness. 'Pepe Grillo' is the real conscience in the pretty animation...
