A City of Sadness (1989) review

Too long and paced, confusing relation of relatives and friends when they seat at the table. But lovably idea of the story -and history- view through a deaf guy nad a nurse.

Darby's Rangers review

Wellman y la guerra como nostalgia del Hollywood macho y noble. Solo Walsh, Ford y Hawks harían esto. La larga exposición de los soldados interactuando en hogares cobra sentido con sus poéticas pero sobrias muertes en la niebla.

The Search (1948) review

Hollywoodesque, even with 'Roots' documentary fan Zinneman, "Germania anno cero". Even the corny stuff, the ruins are as authentic as Zinneman efforts to dramatize the surroundings with ruins and river. Better than the french remake.

Crisis in Six Scenes review

Well structured, a film in 6 parts, very domestic, with a nice Brooklyn adventure, good pairing with Elaine May. Best line: Patriot friend: "I have a purple heart". Woody: "I have a yellow streak".

To Forget Venice review

Aunque afectada en su bergmanismo, más natural, imaginativa y divertida que algunos 'sauras' que pecaban de lo mismo. Le sumo su sexy homofilia, la prima donna decadente, la nana tajante y el viaje a Venezia que nunca se concreta.

Heartbeats review

Love it. Dolan at his most genunie ageless intergeneration no matter sexual preference impossible triangle. The end with Xavier screaming funny too platonic love is great.

The Scarlet Letter (1926) review

Puritanism against love. Sjostrom doesn't need to portrait Gish as a Boston or Salem witch; she is too pure for that. And too dignified when she stand people's judgment and is punished with the A for adulteress.

The War Wagon review

Tongue in old Duke's cheek. Kirk is better since a great introduction as Lomax. Bruce Cabot a good bad guy. Tiomkin's score and location an Clothier's photo are too much for Burt Kennedy's unispired direction.

Spies review

Great Lang, inventing, amusing, dramatizing and romanticizing whrn he can or he must. The japanese deceived stuff is excellent to proof that is possible a romance between other too spies.

The Night Affair review

Descubro tarde a Grangier. Audiard le sirve la mesa en diálogos de los que hay bastante buenos para perdonar los obvios y malos. Con Gabin se entiende de maravilla y Tiller esta estupenda confundiendo a todos, empezando por Gabin.
