Benigni in Hollywood, less ambitious, better inspired. 'It's hard to be a nazi' phrase in the minf of little fat Yorki, is captivating; the indefined mood is well definde in climatic mom,ents as mothers Scarlet hunging (just Jojo embracing her legs) and some others...

Good character, good Natalie, somo nice touches (the sky from her house roof, form her car roof), the special effect shot of her visiting the hospital with the Beatles/title song...

Ok, is a good character because in his naiveté he invented or reshaped something (rappin) that was going to be used with non naive meanings; but its narrated in an too illustrative non inspired way

One long scream with the f word in the centre of all; a bit fatiguing, stressing, monochord in a way but the end not to be spoiled; just a few anthropological observations...

Rare, Melville right now in an abstrct historical lighthouse; but there's the spirit of metaphisical hard landscape New England...

Buen efecto Roma: la mirada se empoza en una camarera, sin más futuro que cambiar de piso y rogar qu ele den un vestido rojo lost & found. Sueños pequeños, mundo pequeño, pero porque la cienasta es honesta al ver que no sabe como ir más allá...

This little hitchcockian ego of Castle, filmmaker and showmaker inside the film, is a good narrator, sober within tis limits...

Two actor accomplice/duel, two point of views on huge universal matters (the church and its dilemmas about sex abuse and power and other stuffs). Its too washed up, there's no true anger, desorientation, but is smooth and makes its goals...

No point of view, no recollection of history or story, just the lineal account of the trip with a selection of a mountain of visual and audio information. But that's its usefullness.

Yimou is a nice, beautiful, aestitacally imaginative, shadow of whta he was decades ago. Nothing to envy Hollywood blockbusters not even based on its history. Chinese has roots.
