Cine di contadino. Rural fatalism, but with a special feeling of the herd, you can feel tne importance the sheep has to everybody,till the end when the 'wrong man' turns bandit.

Anticipation of 'Avatar', spirit of the forest against human exploration of minerals, but with a huge little force, Ashitaka,trying to reconciliate everybody. best image; Mononoke sucking the blood of the big white wolf and the forest full of 'kodamas'

Good intertwinned stories of love, savings for nothing, fascism, in a Firenze´s neighborhood. I like the sort of not affected but relaxed mood, as in the dialogues of the whore of the street (Cosetta Greco) and teh sincerity of Mario (handsome Gabriele Tinti).

I love the characters, so tenderly approached by Comencini in its contradictions. The almost stoic Nullo (¡he has that name because os son of anarcchists¡)and the passionate stubborn surprising Stefania, knocks you down. The political stuff, even you have Stefania victim of capitalism, is not the main thing.

I like the angry young man (excelletn Placido) converted into a macho soldier stuff. But the triangle between Nero, wife Miou Miou and Placido, in a bit concocted. Yes, I prefer the militar stuff.

Anything about drugs before 70s is aged. Zinneman films as a minor Kazan, street realism, strong performances (Franciosa is the best, Murray is ok crawling on his bro). The two day scrremplay is a bit forced, buy Mama (Hnery Silva), yeah he is nos aged, he is an anticipated character.

Anticlimatic,corny for moments, semi biography of the cuisiniere of a french president, je ne sais qui. Don´t, like the part in Crozet islands. I just like Catherine Frot and the real love for haute cuisine you can feel.

You can achieve and try everything with this concept of animation. I like the recall and research of th epast style,the protogonist talking with friends and psichiatrists, trying to discover his role in a heavy national issue: the guilt of jews commiting a massacre of palestinian lebaneses in Sabra and Shatila, bieng compared with the holocaust. Great moments, the tanks over Lebanon with music a la 'Apocalipsis now', the waltz among the bullets, the dreams.

Ninotchka in the air, stuffed with Hughes cold war pretentions not asimilated by Von Sternberg in his last sad film. Wayne is pure routine, Leigh is nice but too american, a real miscast in a role for a exotic beauty as Lamarr or Gardner.

Blak comedy so light that you don't feel death and blood. Luc Besson proves is a good Hollywood artisan. Can´t stand the amaricanization of France and french language. De Niro mocks himself.
