(MU) No big deal, but tight and tense, try to avoid the exploitation of its theme, tries nos to be hard on the guy, Mara is not convincing, Ahmed is better in a supporting role...

(PA) Pure Chabrol, la respectabilité bourgeoise avec feu and a crime simialr to "Postman rings twice". The little town, the mayor, his wife and the right hand of the mayor, the mayor trying to use the adultery, the daughter as a spirit of righteousmess or revenge...

(OK) No watse woth Ivory. He een makes Raquel Welsh a good acting star, her character is the soul of the film and Coco is superb. The calm sordid night before the big ending (won't spoil it) is divine....

(PA) No, I can't agrre with the overratinf of this; so corny, so predictable, so bitter trying to be tender, ufff

(MU) Wajda lost his brio in the end, but tries hard here to construct a faithfull and rich in details and sincerity Walesa, uses a standard Oriana Fallaci interview fort that. No much more...

(MU) Lars return many many years after to the craziest hospital and finds a good clue in the evil chara cter's son, importnat to make the funniest jokes on swedens (always carrying the tire rings of his Volvo) and goinf sraight to the fantastic stuff with the fantsdtic medium granny...

(MU) Von Trier at his funniest, most direct, clearest, storytelling, wiht all the resources to make a hit (the hospital is a perfect place for drama, terror, fantasy and more...)...

(PA) Sick film disguised in linnear good narrative, with decadence of a porn star engaging in a nystery, with good support (the directro, the police brother envy of his sister in law, the child coming of age) and then the porn inside turning a slasher movie with the director crying !new porn baby porn! (and seeing it! among other perversions)

(Blu) So personal and well done, cinemas hisotru at his feet, Spielberg's financial aid, Scorseses big cameo, love for meaningful detail (in the Van Gogh segment you see tha value of a simple touch of fresh cheap paint)... I love tha simple, great, spacial/existencial dicotomic (in/out the tunnel, the shadow) dream The Tunnel....

(MU) Varda looking for a veru authoral semi doccumnetary semi fictional voice in a dense space in Paris. A bit disorganized...
