The Man Who Came to Dinner 1941
The man who came to dinner is a great example of fine, strong, eloquent and classic room comedy. Monty Woolley is the absolute star of the show, powerful, energetic and vitriolic, sidelining even the great Bette Davis who in this role, although performs well, does not surmounts the type. Ann Sheridan gives a fresh and colorful acting, perfectly matching her character in the film. All in all a very pleasant comedy and a great choice for Christmas season.

Ivan's Childhood 1962
In a great journey to a child's soul during the German invasion of the USSR in WWII, Ivan's Childhood shows us glimpses of Ivan's personality in wartime. War has played a pivotal role in composing a childhood that remains childish only in dreams whereas in reality it has put on the coat of man's attitude in order to cope with the deep trauma and grief. Everyone's trying to survive by playing tough, while Ivan continues to play hide-and-seek in wartime settings. A master study by a true master of the cinema.

The Bridges of Madison County 1995
Self-reflecting, deep and bittersweetly frank, The Bridges of Madison County is a product of great storytelling skills and authenticity. The lion's share of credits for this should be awarded to Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep. For the former, it was the beginning of a great career as director whereas for the latter another of her widely celebrated triumphs.
