@lnero nonsense. As powerful today as it was when it came out.<br /> Also, if you are going to judge performances from that era by today's standards, you're going to dislike a lot of classic movies. <br /> (not that there's anything wrong with M's perfume. Joaquin Phoenix just won an Oscar for Joker, ffs!)

@the_argentinian I think that really depends on the culture, and partly personality. Perhaps if I had been born in Argentina I'd agree with you. I'm only saying that for me it didn't work, but that it was a great performance. Every review either judges based upon what they guess would make it good, historically, or how well it works now. I mainly use this space for my opinion on how well something works today.

@the_argentinian What? It's just as I said. Your culture determines what you consider to be normal or strange, or even palatable. So does one's personality.<br /> <br /> For example, German films and series tend to have a completely different sense of humor than, say, British, or American. I don't think most Americans would get German humor, but I appreciate its dry subtlety. Most "serious" American TV shows I consider to be hyperbolic and stupid. Shows I've seen made in Spain seem to be overdramatic and melodramatic. Still, I enjoy _La Casa De Papel_ despite that. <br /> <br /> A lot of people get bored with slowly paced films with long establishing shots, and subtle character drama. Films like that are among my favorites. That seems to mainly be dependent upon personality. On the other side of that I find extreme emotional displays to be disturbing and hard to watch.
