I came late to the film, as if I get stoned not in the first but in the second smoke. Everything is more stoned than cool, aged, noble, acuarian, pre post modern stuff, innocent. Phoenis is excellet, bieng explained everything as a dummy but actinf firmly. But Big Foot is the best.

It's not easy to put yourself in historic context. You see how laboriously, in early days of sound, Lang anticipates so much of scientific, psycological and filmic noir police.

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.
