All star cast always catch my eye. Irving Allen is mere efectism bur has good collaborators as Sterling Silliphant who knows how to tale in the limits put by Allen.

Lean's splendour. The poetic, melancholic, a bit corny and egotistical Zhivago´s point of viex. Landscape and set design and photo (the sunflower almost crying in a somber interior) are not formalism, are moving.

(Thanks Air France to put in your stock). Luchini, with his silly pace and hand gestures, 'directs' the simphony of Dumont. It goes form scatological and canibalistic to pure fantasy: Machin, al a globe flying over the entire group. Julitette is so happy eith all this that enphasizes her pathetism at the end.

Streep is great, no kidding. She is in th wake of making noble the egotistical ridicule of a woman that lives thanks to the sillyness oothers. So, where´s the sin. But it's a bit of seriousness disguising in comedy. The siphilis and the pain of a bad review, makes a great image: Meryl stumbling in the street.

I takes some time to be on the skin -not neccesarily on the side- of Cassey Affleck. He's weird before and after the tragedy of losing his sons. The forced adoption of his nephew is so obvious a 'legacy' of his brother, that teh character suffers of some idiotic conduct.

Effective! When terror has the quality to create abstrac/schematic and same time meaningfull images: hundreds of zombies chasing the then 3 survivors heading to a trian, and then embracing it provoking it to brake, til the hero gestos off the hand of the first zombi. Perfect structure.

La pretensión de que el background de punk duro y violento, le da un sentido adicional a la historia, se cae de saque. En un thriller violento más, con bueno y malos y perros y nothing else.

Kind of cute, naif, stupidly and selfconsciously heroic (Beatty is such a thing after speaking with lawyer William Devane); north west reveals some secrets (you can sell and if you don't want then the gunfigther´s come; its cheap to waste the life of a china man; it is manly to shoot looking in the yes, even if the victim doesn't understand what's all about)...

Tear jerker with some 'quest of identity', deep reaons betwenn adopted children and adopting parents.

Duvivier and his sketches,worse if they're relates as this time. But it's imposble to despise such a cast and tue weirdness of the stories: The mask in Betty Filed, the drunken equilibrium in Boyer and Robinson trying to kill somebody...
