Performance
James Fox, Mick Jagger
Warner Home Video, 1995
Christmas present for my sister, Marilyn, as she longed for Performance to own
+ A Weird but Rewarding Trip Back in Time
+ CRITERION, PUT THIS MASTERPIECE IN YOUR COLLECTION!
I thought I was just giving this a rating, but my sister, who is sixteen years older than me, says that Performance with Mick Jagger is one of the best, most original movies of its times, early seventies. So, perhaps that would perk your interest. I know she is not wrong!

Valentino (1977)
June Bolton, Leslie Caron
MGM/UA Home Video, 1998
Deserves to be watched and bought for you home collection
+ Like Sextette....
+ Rudolph Valentino was the sheik of love.
I am not gonna talk about "Valentino"'s cinematic merits or Ken Russell's ones, for that matter. Previous reviewer has done a pretty good job on that. I'll just say that I own this movie and I watch it every so often. I enjoy it, because it is full of satirical images and it DOES take me back to ...

Maxima Expresion del cine Frances.

Valerie Kaprisky, es bella, intrigante y sensual. La mejor muestra de la vida en las playas francesas, en los años 80. Una joya del naturismo y las intrigas pasionales.

Reds
Warren Beatty, Diane Keaton
Paramount, 1998
Magnificent achievement
+ yes
+ One of few
While this is ostensibly about the Russian Revolution, it is really about unbounded youthful enthusiasm and the ultimate brick wall it hits when experience sets in. Ignorance, youth and over-confidence are a lethal combination. Made shortly after the similar youthful outburts of the 1960s, the ...
