...casi tres d?cadas, la ficci?n latina de EE.UU. fue dominada por el realismo m?gico, emparedada entre visiones clich? de abuelas, mangos y el mar. Entonces en el 2003, Alisa Vald?s-Rodr?guez puso pluma a papel y produjo una novela actual sobre seis chicas latinas que tratan de abrirse camino en la oficina y en la cama. Las seis mujeres de The Dirty Girls Social Club son inteligentes, c?micas y, los m?s importante, profesionales. Entre ellas, una reportera, roquera y locutora -y ninguna entra en pesados debates sobre la experiencia del inmigrante...
...colored lenses. His new film. The Company of Wolves, reels off variations on the Red Riding Hood theme developed with imaginative cittematic flourishes but little psychological subtlety.

Sunflower cannot totally extinguish De Sica's guttering genius. A scene of returning Italian soldiers, for instance, is a fine reminder of the noon of neo-realismo.

A bigger puzzle also lingers: Why should so many proven talents squander themselves on Sunflower? For pane? Certainly-but also to counter the sexual revolution with the kind of romantic movie they...
What is strong and moving about Two Women stems from the unblinking Italian taste for realismo and Author Moravia's vividly tactile imagery, which makes the reader smart with the sting of his heroines' indignities.

The only emotion more persuasive than pity that he displays in Two Women is self-pity. When it comes to man's fate-the tragedy that lies too deep for tears-Moravia, the master weeper, refuses to open...
...standards, Woman of Rome is an unusual movie, but its grey-toned realismo is hardly a match for the novel's. In its transposition to the screen, the story retains its rather sudsy plot but has lost the perceptive insights that stitched the novel into a meaningful tale. In fleeting images, however, the movie does at times catch the heroine's fatalistic amorality, the pathos of her situation, and even the sense that this ignorant girl has capacities of emotion surpassing those of her "respectable" lovers...
