(MU) Underrated non Hollywood non Del Toro fantasy, 3 great stories, melodrama with fantastic touches (the giant bug, the twins, the ugly husband), Garrone hisees any arty asporation behind the action...nice cast...moving non gore bloody woman....

(OK) Great first part, with the elegant retroted Fox; then in Jagger's pit is more counterculture stuff with psicodelia and sex; but Fox is still a greta character and actor all over...

(MU) The close up of an ambiguous girl/boy identity after a one take forest landscape, has enough force and mistery...

(MU) Excellent framing, thorugh a monument and a dialogue bwteen a burocrat and a curator, og legacy and history and contradictions in rumanian identity...

(MU) Antiepic, but acumulative, fluid account of Tiradentes coming of braislian consciousness, after suffering discrimination, seeing a quilombo, wasting his life looking for gold and reading independentist books....there it ends, with no independentist action, but an intorductory voice in off explains everything...

(MU) Intimate account, through sis and bros and family firends of the suicide of Camilo in 1968, Marco Bellochio's twin brothers. A serene, sincere, exorcism of an old trauma and guilt...
