(ok) La migración es una gran narrativa de arrastre, road movie con contenido y fin; aquí se mantiene el interés una vez que pasan la frontera, si hay denuncia es a ambos lados, el clise es uniforme y no mina la película

(OK) The best of the trilogy. Ante the best of thte 3 stories is the cruise with Kay Walsh, teneder and sad and comic and full of understatement. The firs sketch wth Nigel Patrick as the crooked brother is ok, and the last one with almost tragic Glynis is good but washed up in the happy end

(OK) 2nd of the trilogy and 2nd best. The verger's has a rounf nice ending; Nigel Patrick as Max Kelada is superb and Sanatorium is a short repressed film more than a good sketch,

(OK) First and less interesting of the trilogy. 'Facts of life' is the most tricky with the mischievous but loser Mai Zetterling, The kite is poor, Alien corn has a good hard ending and The colonel's lady is a good picture of a surprised patriarchal society with a poor happy ending

(ok) So relaxed that is kind of difficult to see, a recurrent theme in Renoir, of people being surpassed by their affections, and powerfull charaters longing for another kind of live as Marais in the end. And Bergman and Ferrer staging a kiss, love that moment...

(ok) Vodevil with no visible ambition in the beginning, but adds to a snesible protrait of a cocotte being victim of her frivolity while other characters assuming thier autentic feelings...

(OK) Some corny moments, but there's the era of the renewal of teaching in a rural school, apprehending life and universe from the little town...

(OK) Elegant, pauses rythm, long exposure of blood and vomit; perfect locations, pauses acting... sexy moments...

(OK) The drama of having no country and dying going almost nowhere. Two films in one, the first confusing intro and the route in the dessert...

(OK) Mirande behind Lacombe; all star cast (Rosay dominates even over Morlay), with some good choral scenes, even the films advances in huis clos scenes...
