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.

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)

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.

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.

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

Deceiving. Widmark is ok seeming to be a very bad guy in the beginning, bot in th eminute you see he is the fantastic heroe; the film becomes corny.

God save Gordon from the oblivion. O'Brien fading hieratic while his ruined palace is exploding is the nearest to Leone Hollywood could get in tne middle sixties.

Bolognini at its best; decadence in people that hasn't even reach luxury or modernity. Claudia (excellent) and Jean Paul so condemmed lovers that become tender when harder they pretend to be. The feudal background of the heritage is just that and ok.

After this, now I know Sontag, even with some ideas well explained. Good testimony of previous female lovers.

Sincere. Nahid is really stupid to tolerate such mysoginistic system against her. Iranian conformist realism.
