(OK) Tourneur amuses himself with Milland in foreign welsh and scottish land looking for the secret of a dead brother, who is forgotten in the end, as if he were an alibi for fun...

(OK) Puzzle of a dead girl (non alluring Donna Reed), wth noir tones by the men who loved her. Ladd in one of his bes roles, even Arthur Kennedy can't seteel camera frm him. June Havoc is good...

(OK) Lorre makes a good composition and China and Shangai and San Francisco chinatown are good ficitional locations; but there isn't enough rythm, humour and stylised action

(OK) Kind of late neorrealism and early Hiroshima drama, in japanese cinema. More subtle tahn shocking, the tragedy and the location impregnates everything...

(OK) Conventional infdian melodrama in a way, but reaches epic and denonciation, int the exodus to Calcutta. Musical excerpts are in the margin...

(ok) First of Pialat, naked and cold and impossible to judge childhood. All of that makes it moving, and the realtionship with the old woan, the other extreme, is an important detail...

(ok) Alexei reaches adulthood with more doubts and depression, ans consciousness, that´s why the bread factory of Semionov is such meaningful. The intent of suicide is as surprising as subtle with the kitty detail...

(oK) Same quality of the first part, but some contemplative moments added, as navigating the Volga demmands. Grandmother is still there....

(ok) The intense russians , here's is the primal learning of Alexei, in the home of his first parents, with the wonderful grandmother. Best part: nice Ivan dying woth the cross...

(OK) The first part is great, iconic for inmigration to the land of liberty, while rocking dreams and miseries in the boat. Then is pure good cafe routine with Charlie and Edna.
