Dance of the 41 review

Posted : 4 years ago on 8 June 2021 12:53 (A review of Dance of the 41)

(NX) Cierta frialdad, academicismo en la ambientación, mucha confianza en que la mirada de los personajes dirá lo que la puesta en escena no puede; pero todo se enciende cuando entramos en la intimidad de las reuniones de los 42, y en la casi indolencia con la que el protagonista recibe los golpes físicos y simbólicos la final...

Posted : 4 years ago on 8 June 2021 12:38 (A review of The Devils Hand)

(OK) Daddy Tourneur had, as his son Jacques, a flair for fantastic tales, for demonology in a fine narrative way, ith anguished Fresnay and a funny little old man...

Maigret and the St. Fiacre Case review

Posted : 4 years ago on 3 June 2021 11:08 (A review of Maigret and the St. Fiacre Case)

(OK) Here Maigret/Gabin has a past, a motif, nostalgic excesses. The castle with empty walls, the corpse of the countess (tender Valentine Tessier when alife), Auclair underacting, great photo and music...

Magic review

Posted : 4 years ago on 3 June 2021 11:04 (A review of Magic)

(OK) Attenborough is so effective here playing in the edge of psycological crime thriller and fantasy horror maniac film with a proto Chucky model. Hopkins ans wonderful magret and even frank Lauter, improves everything. Burgess Meredith is excellent..

Posted : 4 years ago on 3 June 2021 11:01 (A review of Maddalena, Zero for Conduct)

Madam Satan (1930) review

Posted : 4 years ago on 3 June 2021 10:58 (A review of Madam Satan (1930))

(OK) A light frivolous comedy on marriage, suffering the early talkies heaviness; but the extravagance of the long zeppelin party is worthwhile...

Gambling Hell review

Posted : 4 years ago on 3 June 2021 10:55 (A review of Gambling Hell)

(OK) Couls be a Hollywood noir with 'von sternbergerian' location. The casino with the little baskets carrying the bets from the second floor isn irresistible. A french fatalist ending but in between Von Stroheim amuses being a lovable rat using Mireille Ballin.

Dr. Mabuse: The Gambler review

Posted : 4 years ago on 3 June 2021 10:51 (A review of Dr. Mabuse: The Gambler)

(OK) 4 1/2 hours of intrigue and a picture of deep amorality. Elocuent dialogues in a silent film: the countess explains Mabuse her unbeareble ennui and he says that his only amusement is gambling with other fate. The prosecutor, his enemy, is a sort of gambler, too. The little casino disguised as a show is wonderful.

Broken Blossoms (1919) review

Posted : 4 years ago on 3 June 2021 10:47 (A review of Broken Blossoms (1919))

(OK) Extreme Gish victimization, but shw knows momentarily a sort of love. Griffith, at least this time, shows affection for diversity (well it is Barthelmess, but you can't ask more from DWG)...The Gish half smile is a label...

City Lights review

Posted : 4 years ago on 30 May 2021 04:06 (A review of City Lights)

(OK) Charlie perfect comedy drama mixture. The tramp never more moving than in the end, playing a sort of chaplinesque abnegated Stella Dallas. The boxing routine, could be itself one of the best Chapliln´s shorts...
