(MU) Well structured, crescendo in and out a train, atmosphere, good texture, colour b/w matches, good acting, nice hero....

(BLU) Saw this after Alex Gibney's doc on Hunter Thompson; and yeah, there's a neat effort by Gilliam, Depp, Del Toro and script, to cope with Thompson's gonzosploitaition. Its not irreverent, is cruel and depravating and somehow structured and with limits. Even the limits are overacted...

(PA) The real Sissy, deconstructed, dry of passion, bur suicidal, kinky, cruel, bad person; confined to a secondary role (there´s gender fight here)...

(PA) Pacific, paix, fiction; pas colonialism, pas neocolonialism, pas postcolonialism, mais transcolonialism en hommage a Shannah. Nature, facts, topics, everything contributes o a state of mind, where there's no room for naionalism, buts it s for corruption, militar abuse....

(PA) Honour and glory to the donkey's point of view, even to his dream of being the center of the circus ring. Instead he is a football team pet, a dilettante's friend, a donkey boy, not bad, but everything is ephimere, even life for EO...

(MU) Complete, comprehensive account of Thompson's life and creation, with the character in precise videos, ex wives and only son interviewed, and extract from "Fear and loathing in Las Vegas"...

(MU) The ambition of a good telefilm based on a big intriguing case; but Egoyan knws how to enrich such stories, planting doubts, distorting characters...

(MU) LIfe in a rich polish suburb, from the point of view and magic hands of a masseur; some disorder and irregular rythm but Szumowska has her style...
