Good cheap natural in its exotism noir from John Farrow. Ladd has good dialogues against beautiful untrustful Gail Russell.

Too light, too easy comedy pushing Paris clisés to a idiotic extreme that converts the city in a small resort where everybody meets anytime by hazard.

Has its moments, especially with Richardson's hidden death, but resumes badly in the end. Knox is a lousy detective and Gina a stupid italian nurse till the happy end

Marrakech as never seen before, in and behind turism. Whores arent idealized, just depicted, followed in their routine. Not victims, not bitches. Even when they try saudi clients.

Too manipulating, but very well paced. Girardot is excellent in close ups, with just one tear. Pradal is too old and too miscast.

Vadim plays Ophuls in a lighter and sexier way (too many gentlemen with tricky hands while delivering good dialogue). Spaak is prettier than ever transformed by Bernard Noel.

Subtext is much bigger than text. You can't know theré´s a criminal mind there, even the trivia says that director Pallaoro based the idea on a criminal case. Nothing happens with mute Catalina betraying his husband with the gas station man.

Lousy thriller, with naif political background even it is based in interesting real facts. Emma Watson finds comfortable to express nothing as her role demands.

Ok feel of period. Some stereotipical guys in the edges and corny sides (the death of little boy), but gets intimate in the main family, in Anna's crisis and Erick's affair.

I won´t discuss Chomsky's abbility to explain and teorize, adding examples and references and 'historicizing' at the same time. It's a pitty, directors don't pause to resume or contrast. They just count 10 principles.
