a terribly unpleasent tourist postcard from Lisbon, something around Carlos Saura's FADOS and Manoel de Oliveira, only in the comic version of Herman José... first film about my hometown that makes me wan't to move out!... and I already have a title for an article I'll never write: ON THE WHITENESS OF MR. GREEN (go figure!)
I must say this sticks to your head, perhaps because it's so inventive. But it also embarrassingly reminded me of WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT?, with dear André Dussollier somewhat playing Judge Doom. So, go figure!
Resnais obviously has a lot of fun doing his own films, but perhaps he should quit American TV series for a while. I've got nausea from so many crane shots.
Literally, a historical hard-on with Mussolini's fascism (for those who appreciate it).
Instead of “Eine deutsche Kindergeschichte”, this awfully manipulative film should have as subtitle “The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Nazism” (by the way, has anyone remember to blame Protestantism for the Gulag yet?).
Why aren't THE BURNT THEATRE and S21 here?
