Pretentious and corny in its romantization of german anarchism, with glamorous ex activists twice bombing Berlin...

Pretentious in its wide historic anarchist twice bombing romantic effect. Besides that and its glamorous anarchist cast, not much else...

All the latin Hollywood clises, all the charm of them all, Turner ohk as the independent rich womna who lacks love, Montalban reivindciates at the end...

Salvo cierto problema de volumen, buena visión en Netflix. No caeré en la trampa de qué tanto sigue la tradición, pues toda gran película con visión de sociedad e historia cae o se nutre de eso. Lo que no veo, por obvias razones, en esa tradición, es la posibilidad de tomar con la perspectiva de hoy el punto de vista, sin forzarlo ni declamarlo, de la empleada, como parte de una comunidad de afectos y disrupciones, de la que también participa la madre de familia. Roma tiene su ángulo para cada uno, y yo escojo esa confluencia, en el plano conjunto emotivo y climático en la playa (recogido en el afiche), de la historia de Cleo y el aborto no deseado del embarazo tampoco deseado, con esa mujer que anuncia que empezará a trabajar por independencia y necesidad. En ese México postletalolco se incuban los sentimientos y posibilidades de contar ese historia, no en el melodrama ni en el Indio Fernández, como he oído por ahí...

Nouvelle vague out of place, in comunism, in the spirit of a relatively young mother refusisn to understand why her son wants to abandon her...When she writes a letter for an old father, you understand everything

So Hollywood on England, war efforto and drama ai its best. The disparition of Redgrave early in the plot is effective, because Mills and Rosamund (wonderful as bride with the noise of planes over her face) act their sadness superbly.

Movement and landscape, harshness of charatcer and plot, Marquand is ok mistretaing Schell even Schell is always mistreatable running on the space

Pupi and Delle Piane, always work; thriller of cards and revenge, fortune and luck, trick or treat; Delle Piane is fantastic

Imnot even sure if this is this undistinguised color Hong's story: 3 or more stories of an artist deambulating between women and particpating in a drunken brawl; a man in a hotel with a prostitute and then (or before, there is some strange time lapses) murnig his wife with a white cup on his head (supposedly corean funerary tites), and a woman assiting this and a sort of mass murder...

The origin of the cycle, enough for my taste. Turkish ability to turn on hollywoodesque horror with religious references (coran instead of the bible) as they have turned on latinamerican telenovelas
