(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...

(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...

(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...

(OK) Rare theme for such an adult director a Nichols and a star as Scott. That gives the roccedings a dimensuon that in other hands would remain a small thriller with speaking dolphins...

(OK) Te couer of french humour learned form Hollywood and from its own little village heaven. The postman is the soul of it all and the idea, no subligned, fo making him see the documentary of postmen in USA, makes wonders...moving

(OK) The first great Eastwood, all his past and future themes are here, with humour and bitterness when it has to be. He's fatherly with Sam Bottoms, but friendl or even guided by Chief Dan George.

(OK) The play inside the film has the entire charm of W.C, it even forces him to show his craftmanship as circus man. The duel with Baby LeRoy at dinner and all his ridicule apperances as a great actor, are so consistent...

(OK) As moral a western as some from Anthony Mann or "Bad day at Black Rock". ;ahoney put thw little village upside down in an unpretentious way...

(OK) Bergman repeats her Joan's passion exercised for Victor Fleming before, but for a such different mise a scene, that words weigh more than gestures. Carminati is all the chorus, the other ones are accesories...

(OK) Clement in perfect almost suspicious equilibrium. It's enough adult and irreverent and absurd too avoid the children menace. Fossey ir irresistible, and a bit perverse too...
