Stroll, The (Progulka) (2003): If someone started yapping in my ear whilst I was enjoying a walk I would tell them to –––––––––.
All About My Mother (1999): The screenplay has some humorous touches but unless Antonia San Juan's character of Agrado is involved it doesn't rise to any great heights. Agrado is a step up from anyone else on show.
Happy Prince, The (2018): The drama is shot in half light or more appropriately in the half dark – even in the daylight scenes, the camera goes in search of shadow. A somber but interesting piece of work.
Colette (2018): The story is an interesting one and it deserves to be told. Although the screenplay got sidetracked at times it covered the main issue, that of her ghostwriting, okay. The production values were excellent.
Asphalt (1929): The segments of men laying asphalt, the intersection traffic scene, the seduction scene, & the way lighting was used are memorable. The film was made toward the end of the silent era & no doubt it benefitted from the experiences gained over those years.
In This Corner of the World (Kono sekai no katasumi ni) (2016): It is a good example of animation being able to tell a story efficiently. Our plucky heroine is a delight and the animation impressive particularly the believable air raid segments.
Date With An Angel (1987): It is a bit too silly to be funny.
Turbo Kid (2015): It tries a bit too hard & too often to shock its audience so it probably would be more appreciated as a comedy. Some of it is okay but there is always that underlying feeling that you've seen bits of it before and that it has borrowed from elsewhere.
Don Giovanni (1979): As well as a couple of memorable musical segments everything is well designed and wardrobed. The subdued photography of the outside locations uses soft colours and is superb.
White Zombie (1932): It is one of the few zombie films where they have cast real zombies.
