The Impostor review

Duvivier is not so comfortable in the propaganda stuff. Neither Gabin, who doesnยดt know how to look when he has to be a heroe. He is better when he is not ans says so to Ellen Drew.

Poil de carotte (1925) review

Un enfant que arrive tard. The old housekepper gives to the new one, this great definition that encloses the entire film. Charlotte BarbierKrauss as Madame Lepic is the french Margaret Hamilton.

Francesca e Nunziata review

Great story. Melodrama witn industrial boom (pastificio topic) and unavoidable decadence. The legacy beyond blood between Francesca and Nunziata is well finished

The Black Knight review

A poor Garnett. Ladd is a imposible, cold, heroe. The romance of poor servant and noble Medina is wasted. The Stonehenge battle is a false climax but at least is campy.

Court review

I like the sort of distance, non commitment point of view. The lawyer is not a heroe, is a looser masochist unable to discuss and to advice his stubborn client. All this is expressed in fixed shots of the court.

Microbe and Gasoline review

I'm not sure if Gondry wanted a youth film with one foot in french naturalism oe if it is result of some weakness or indefinition. Anyway the wheel ouse is a nice moving image and Theo/Gasoil a nice character.

Shoot Loud, Louder... I Don't Understand review

I saw this for love of Rachel, familiarity with Marcello and respect of Eduardo de Filippo and his napolitan way. Poor story (more dreamy than absurd as it pretends to be)

The Unforgiven review

Underrated Huston in spite of its lousy treacheroos everybody saved but the indians at the end. Great story, really unforgiven heroe Lancaster risking his family for love of sis Audrey.

The Boy and the Beast review

Nice animation, better in the human modern world ant the interface; not so much in the beast world. Hosoda imposes his rythm, his codes of honor.

Slingshot review

Brillante is not brilliant; just dinamic, violent, effective. The false doccumentary style is a little tiring.
