Simple, ilustrativa, narración clara a pesar del juego con el presente. Gnecco es convincente y Münchmayer, como su madre, en una sola escena, marca bien el contexto ideológico. De todos modos, falta diálogo, gesto, tensión en el sexo; falta riqueza.

New millenium's Fellini meets Wes Anderson´s Hotel Budapest. Sorrentino has gained our respect, whatever he does after "Il divo". Caine is excellent discussing with the queen's emissary; Keitel is convincing as an selfcentered decadent artist. Maradona´s parody is the funniest thing in the movie.

Handsome but poor cast. Bocaccio's stories doesn't match woth the present story of the group escpaing form the pest. The best: the 'falcone' story, Is really sad. Taviani bros. doesn't find the picaresque Pasolini found in Bocaccio.

The Bocaccio stories told by the guests doesn't match with the present story of them escaping from the pest in Firenze. Handsome but poor cast. The best is the 'falcone' story. It has aytenthic sadness. The others doesn't find the picaresque found by Pasolini in 'Il decameron'.

too long and deceiving in the first part with too much voice in off; but you engage to tyhe strictly cronological as Amy with the stuff. Beisdes, Amy's footage is better than any narration. The concert in wich she touches and beat her cheeks to sense how drugged she is, is the premonitios of the last concert in Belgrad, the stage death of a star. Moving in spite of the drugs star stereotypes.

¿Why success spoiled Giorgos Lanthimos? Artificial, incoherent, confusing, it is not a convincing world as in "Canino"; the stars are wasted. I preferred the unknowns -for non greeks- stars of his first films.

OK Haynes, you make the films with the topics we couldn't find explicitly in the 50s. But here you lack the intensity of "Far from heaven". Its some low key dramatism that I find somehow deceiving

Melodrama simple, prejuicioso con coartada originaria (Pedro viene del campo y es muy muy macho), pero con fuerza y encanto en close ups de Pedro, que está intachable hasta de payaso (un motivo clásico) y Marga que es como una Irene Dunne de Churubusco. Silvia Pinal está espléndida, es lo mejor de la pela.

Bardem suele ser provocador pero aquí es meramente efectista. El semental Stokes confundido con serial killer por Seberg y Marisol (que está linda de veras); es a la vez una confusión de giallo con terror erótico.

In spite of terrible make up and acting of the entire cast when aged in the present; Duvivier is ok using Hollywood set design and glossy movments for his 'bal' scenes. Oberon ok, but Cotten better. May Oliver has the best part and dialogues.
