The Tales of Hoffmann review

(OK) Pretty, really pretty, pure musical ballet almost going to abstraction; each tale is independent but has a romatic agonic feeling, as the doll torn to pieces or tge literally agonic singer...

The Hunger (1983) review

(OK) One the most interesting vampire deviation. Great trio Deneuve, Bowie, Sarandon. More elegance than gore. The best of Tony Scott

Coming Home review

(OK) Taking apart the too loud and gratuitous soundtrack of covers; Ashby has feeling for social themes in a conventional narration, Fonda is convincing as a veteran wife, becuase in fact is in love with an antiwar hero...

The Mad Miss Manton (1938) review

(OK) Justo a few moments, of Barbara and Fonda (in her bedroom in fortn of the window looking at NY, almost film noir photography for a frivolous second rate comedy)...

Rope review

(OK) All Hitch in an experiment that is just a background, a wall paper, for one set character suspense entertainment. I love the long secuence of Mrs Wilson cleaning the stuff above the box where the body is, while everybody is chatting in the space in off...

A Man and a Woman review

(OK) Lelouch had his own nouvelle vague, with colour anb b/w, improvisation, ralentis, changes of edition style, but there's affectation in the profiles of the manin charecters (she workf in exoic films, he runs cars,mmmhhh)...chabadabada, Francis Lai had his vague too...

The Lover review

(ok) Affectation, and softcore well staged at the edge of a busy street; good vietnamese locations and a sense of decadence that is the best od the film...

I Met My Love Again review

(OK) Good beginning, arcadic, romantic, naif, then the parisian intermezzo is pure clise, and improves when Bennett returns home....

The Human Condition III: A Soldier's Prayer review

(OK) Erratic as depicts a painful errance through hell. Episodic in opposition as I and II, including sex. The best is the relationship with Terada who dies for Kaki. Thatยดs hopeless...

The Human Condition II: The Road to Eternity (1959) review

(OK) I like the war and horror inside the war:Japan militarism is hell. The suicide of the bullied soldier reminds (evoques "La ciudad y los perros"), humanism in the exact circumstance, when Japan is losing...
