Town Without Pity review

Impossible to see it neutrally in the light of actual currents about rape and sex harrassment. Here the big criminal is the gossipy town and its intolerant mayor, father of the raped girl thrown to suicide by everybody but his boyfriend.

Ghost World review

Deservedly cult film and more cult deserves the wonderful Bollywood clip of the beginning. Enid/Thora Birch is the soul of all it, and her ability of become engages with oddities as Buscemi is the only thing worth living, worth moving for her.

Land of the Pharaohs review

Great great story but Hawks directs it af Nathna Juran of one of those honest 50,s artisans. The theme of death and eternal live with wordly treasures, ant the futility of it all incarnated in snakish cleopatrish Joan Collins end, is marvellous.

Phantom Thread review

Literally sick love theme, enters a bit late, after long exposition of Day Lewis's style of love, of work and live. Alma's character has to convince not only Day Lewis, and sis Lesley Manville, but the spectator that she is a flame for him.

Band of Angels review

I wanna think that Walsh would've survive the war and the secession as Gable here, with every contradiction and affection. He's superb when confrotns De Carlo with every test and true. It's more effective than making love to her.

You're Missing the Point (1940) review

El último tercio es magistral. Todos hablan como cantinflas (juez, abogado y fiscal) cuando se llega al paroxismo de su estilo, destruyendo la formalidad de la corte. Más vulgar y marginal que el Cantinflas que viene luego.

Devil and the Deep review

Surprise. Underwater early Von Sternbergian Gering, with affected Tallulah going with Laughton and Cooper (impossible to compare such differents ways of acting) in a submarine. Just the looks of a woman there is subversive.

Casanova Brown (1944) review

Stupid comedy, because they do and undo its adult premise: Cooper and Wright are and are not moderns. Anita Louise and Frank Morgan doesn't count, neither Wright fathers, that survive the fie (onlo interesting scene) don't know why.

The Fortune Cookie review

It's the firsti time of Lemmon with Matthau but the couple is already perfect. Tue cinisicsm is on Walter, Jack is sincere in last reel, splendidly. A lot is in background details (Judi West is always with a object of desire in frame)...

Coco review

Todos los clichés de México, en especial los de la necrofilia, a los que se suman y se fuerzan unos alebrijes demasiado fantásticos, en una sola historia que lo mejor que tiene es su tinte melodramático.
