(BluR) Harold Robbins, producer Joseph Levine and director Lewis Gilbert, trivializes everything, love, fortune, revolution, identity, adventure....Pretentious production (3 hours!!) in Colombia giving all of its locations (Bogotá main square and cableway, Cartagena, Villa de Leyva, ) , undeserved by results. De Havilland goes unashamedly in a most trivial role...

(BluR) Morricone explained by himself, with support of other musicians and filmakers, and selections of his works, what else? His works for Leone are the best, no doubt. Take a hearing and a look for Petri and Roland Joffe´s "The mission"...

(MU) A film to be deciphered, hmmmm, and accidental minimalism, all houses and sky the same, pointless life and struggle of the characters, phobias of suburbia, real state practices...

(BluR) Troubling after a bit confusing beginning, the story and the introducing of the theme of pedofilia takes its time. There's style in each shot of this early underrated Seidl...

(BluR) A different 'housemaid' than the 60's classic; this one always a victim, unavidable victim of a rich family viewed with manicheism. 3 stars thanks to Yeo-jeong Yoon excellent support as the old surviving housemaid...

(MU) 3 strar just for the funny comment in animation, the breath of the film. Plot and characters and the unsimpathetic actress have no charm, even if they are in Lisbon.

(BluR) 4 families mixed in a building, an accident, fate, 5 years, 10, 15, years elipsis and story advances to a kind of happy ending. Moretti has a dignified lousy character of an intolerant judge...

(BluR) Un hito para el flamenco visual, luego de "Los Tarantos". Gadés tiene lo auténtico y lo académico y Saura nos ahorra en tratar de entender la obra, ¿para qué?, y nos lanza a la danza. Cristina Hoyos sensacional, los ensayos previos tan buenos como el ensayo general, sin parar...

(MU) Good idea, a man that for existential reasons don't want to go home and stay with his parents instead, even in bed, return to the uterus in NY. Not deliberately funny but tender anf funny in a way...Jacobs uses his own parents and you can feel it...

(BluR) Nice theme, Frears, more light than corny, with excellent Sally Hawkins goes digging Richard III, rescuing the value of Sally from the circus of oportunists when Sally's idea wins.
