Carnival in Flanders review

(OK) Just love this, as humorous as an Azcona for Berlanga but astounding plot for a 30s film. Rosay is wonderful as always and his husband Allermรฉ is better than soft Murat. Feyder great directing...

Karl May review

(OK) So long depicting the numerous trials that yoy lose the poin: there's a great german supporting powerfull imagination of a another worlds, but being repressed by malice, prejudice, blackmail....Even Hitler understand that...

Just Imagine (1930) review

(OK) Too stupid plot, gagless, but the futuristic musical fantasy s funny. El Brendel is a lousy comedian.

Justice is Done review

(OK) Law on film, good stories around a jury around a big case. No surpirses, an ambiguos right ending. The sotry of middle aged Valentine Tessier and young Auclair is excellent as Noel Roquevert.

The Green Mare review

(OK) Rare story, the green horse is just rhe beignning to set the story of men and women and their natural miseries. Irreverent but not grandilocuent. Bourvil is excellent when his mother is raped above him (he's hidden under the bed)...

Run of the Arrow (1957) review

(OK) Moralist. grnaidlocuent en scope and theme, and correpondances (Steiger kills Meeker with the same bullet he hurted him in the beginning) but not in direction and acting.

Days of Youth review

(OK) First preserved Ozu. Just for the shenanigans and frustrated romance in the snow, and the ambivalence of the extroverted character....Ozu's is slowly making his way and style

Diary of a Schizophrenic Girl review

(OK) So attached to science and respectfull of its characters, that ir more moving than expected. Big effort to get inside minf and simbolism of schizofrenia...

Diary of a Lost Girl (1929) review

(OK) This is after Pandora's Box, but could be a kind of prequel. The melodrama well extended in time and places, each a world itself, produces a careless lost girl next tu lulu...

Pandora's Box review

(OK) Pabst's and Brooks's Lulu is an anticipation, the flapper meet the femme noir and the 60s heroine. Men are poor thing around her, even his father ans his husbands, Some scenes are so well mounted is space and tension...
