Critica Retro Posted by Lê on Nov 30, -0001
A Divorciada (1930) / The Divorcee (1930) As heroínas dos filmes feitos antes do Código Hays eram quase sempre personagens femininas admiráveis. Navegando em um mundo masculino e tendo como principal arma seu corpo, elas eram sensuais, ousadas e provocantes. E estes três adjetivos são read more

Critica Retro Posted by Lê on Nov 30, -0001
A Fúria dos Justos (1955) / Trial (1955) Quando passamos a assistir muitos filmes, vemos além dos grandes atores de praxe e começamos a prestar atenção nos coadjuvantes que roubam a cena. No pouco conhecido “A Fúria dos Justos” (1955), um desses coadjuvantes brilha: é Anthony read more

A Caixa Mágica / The Magic Box (1951)
Critica Retro Posted by Lê on Nov 30, -0001
A Caixa Mágica / The Magic Box (1951) Na minha opinião, o melhor cineasta ainda em atividade é Martin Scorsese. Não apenas porque os filmes dele são de excelente qualidade, mas principalmente porque ele ama os filmes antigos. Scorsese é um admirador e apoia as campanhas de conservação read more

Vênus, a Deusa do Amor (1948) / One Touch of Venus (1948) Há muitas atrizes do cinema clássico que poderiam ser chamadas de deusas – atrizes demais para citar aqui. Mas foram poucas que de fato interpretaram deusas nas telas. Uma delas foi Rita Hayworth em “Quando os Deuses Amam& read more
