Queen Christina (1933)
One of the best Garbo's
Queen Christina was one of the most impressive and one of the most personal films of Greta Garbo.Her inc edible beauty mixed with a Swedish historical theme, lesbian subtext (one of the first films at the time) and her previous lover John Gilbert, makes this film not any special, but inc edible! One of the most famous scenes (noticed in Bertolucci's Dreamers ) where Garbo's remembering details of the inn's room and the ending scene, where she's nothing but a body, make this film unforgettable. You can remember Garbo as a silent-star.You can remember her as Anna Christie.But you can never forget her as Queen Christina.It's one of Rouben Mamoulian's masterpieces, maybe the first and the last. Maybe there's also a sound of Garbo's affair in 1932 with Mercedes De Acosta, which makes this film so impressive, or it's just her face.Bible for all the fans of Garbo.
Gilda (1946)
Hayworth in her best
There are so many reasons to see Gilda.Which one should be noticed here.Ít's one of the best film-noir filmed in US during 1940's'. That's the first.One of the Rita Haywoth's best-I would like to say the best one, but I like more The Blood and sand, where she's excellently lovely.But that's the second.If you need a recommendation for this film-you won't like it.You just have to see it and you'l get crazy about it.Anyway.Anyhow.See and you'lsee.
I used to be bored sometimes, some scenes are too simple for a contemporary audience, maybe.But those dance scenes, which are amazingly seducive, will make you watch that film till the end.
Kristián (1939)
greatly played M.Fric's movie from 30's.
Unimportant Czech officer spends one evening in month seducing women in Orient bar.He's married and usually leaves his one-eve company before she recognizes his real occupation. Once he meets lady (A.Mandlova) who doesn't want to leave it this way and tries to discover his own personality. Kristian begins to lie, playing his own brother and uses all possible solutions to keep on living the way he lived before - cheating his wife and changing'for one evening in irresistible Don Juan. But is his love to bar lady stronger than to his wife? Is he able to move from usual and (really)boring lifestyle to high class living? How much will his meeting with this amazing woman influent his personal life?
Kristian is one of the best M. Fric's comedies from the 30's and became an icon in picturing 1st republic society in Czech republic. Very softly and sensitively written comedy, which characters are really greatly casted with all the stars of that time (O.Novy, A.Mandlova, N.Gollova etc.). Relaxing and sweet romance.
