John Waters
 
88 min.
John Waters could very well be called John DeMented Waters. In actual fact the Cecil B. in the title, played by Stephen Dorff, is just a reflection by Waters himself, who has always had an iconoclastic "demented" sense of humour. On this occasion he is helped by a marvellous Melanie Griffith, who will stop at nothing to make Honey Whitlock's latest role a complete success.
Ralph Zondag, Eric Leighton
 
82 min.
Bernardo Bertolucci
 
325 min.
Bertolucci's first historical fresco covering 50 years of life in Italy. A politically-committed spectacle; historical memory converted into film images. A century that is born, a period that dies. From innocence, to fascism and freedom. De Niro and Depardieu are magnificent. "My intention was quite clear: to make a popular film, and communicate with the biggest possible audience. Although I don't think it is a political film, I think that it is, above all, an ideological film". (B.B.).
Uli Edel
 
94 min.
Bryan Singer
 
104 min.
The famous superheroes from the mythical Marvel Factory comics have reached the big screen at last, and have been brought there by the director of The usual suspects. The result is a film that combines entertainment and thrills with the dark touches provided by the struggle between Profesor Charles Xavier and his mutant pupils against the wicked Magneto and his cruel followers.
