Posted May 1, 2012
7/10 —— I Compagni (The Organizer) (The Strikers) (1963) " The style often features broad comic performances against a background of despair and defeatism; these were not comedies with happy endings which seems to be a contradiction." — Movie Metropolis
Posted May 1, 2012
7/10 80% The Flaw (2011) " (The film) makes a series of points rather than an argument... Think of it as a Festivus-style airing of grievances. " — Movie Metropolis
