Granier Deferre knows that Gabin is enough in the house and the space, rest of characters are weak. His presence is colossal

Wajda maintains the rythm, the despair, the nihilism; the war reaches a basement phase here and has strong images

Apparently a good satire, but everything is predictable and stereotyped, even the politics in background. Koscina and De Sica help the proceedings

Well set town for two good characters. De Sica obligues Monicelli to dignifie the stregone. Merlini is better than ever with Sordi in good cameo.

Los posibles estereotipos de refugiados se van transformando en algo más sutil sobre fantasmas y herencias de dolor social. Cierta plúmbea gravedad, fastidia y traiciona el paisaje y la gente.

Ascaride, Guediguian's diva, is a nice pretxt here to see the decadence ande illusions of a bunch of intersting characters in a pretty small place not touched by Cote d'Azur commerce.

John Cameron Mitchell is impelled to excess, but here he has an idiot tale of a sadist cult agaisnt a gooh hearted boys of the cult of punk...

Little last Taviani, some romantic compulsion against war partisan (no the same as militar) background, wher civils are less obedient and fight in thier land. I like the moment the hero see his paretns...

Melville, la vie et la mort et la resistance parmi les deux. Le fausse froideur de Ventura, le fausse douceur de Signoret, makes the only love affair in the film. The other one is with the absolut, the number one, the chief Paul Meurisse, the 'cause'.

It lacks some progression, the main character is too overpassed by Rush/Giacometti, but makes some good observation, that's his value
