(OK) Raimu is so great that could be sympa even when leaving his little girl abandoned to die. Aimé Clariod tries to copewith him, but that's impossible.

(OK) Not aged a bit, strong in its barroquism, elegant functional set design (by Derek Jarman) and with the revulsive material of sex and religion and tortures. Reed's tragedy steals protagonism to Redgrave and the nuns stuff.

(OK) Castle, the lesser Hitchcocl, as personal as him, presenting the film and before the climx pausing for a warning with a clock. First 30min are great with 'trans character' Jena Arless.

(OK) Early anti nazi film, early Alan Ladd's protagonism too, even he is expendable here. Stock stuff as always, but theré's some seconday characters with german flavor, doing the heil Hitler sign, first time in Hollywood.

(OK) Mazurky's 70s 'nomadland'. He gets the right mood in the beginning and the rest flows wonderfully, even when he visits Geraldine Fotzgerald in a retire home or when he leaves his grandoson to go to a comune. The encounter in jail with Chief Dan George, is pure Mazurky's humour...

(OK) Great storytelling in a suspension of life and death, in one in a lifetime film. Perfect plot points and two stories that adds to the end, real japanese misery and false chivalry...

(OK) Strong Losey, no nonsense depiction of a hell town, very comprehensive direction, love affair (Carey and pretty Gail) in perfect parallel with social thesis...

(OK) Nice, trepidant, good dialogues with a graps on satire. Popesco in excellent as the frivolous duchesse with a new affare that unveils her world. The gag of the love letter read in his husband speech (great André Lefaur) is excellent. Jues Berry amuses himself as always.

(OK) Another 'I erase myself in behave of how society functions' Wiseman, without limit of time and topics. I prefer "In Jackson Heights", less time and more concentratios of themes in space

(OK) A sort of late Resnais film: passions narrated and doing so anothrr passion is born and burnt out amd protagonists survive. The simulation fo the marriage is a pretty anecdote..
