		Arau was generally on the set with the actors, using a small, portable video tape monitor, to keep an eye on composition and performances from the perspective of the camera lens.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: A Walk in the Clouds (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The film requires a leap of faith into "magical realism" that few regular moviegoers can probably muster, and while director Arau — whose previous film Like Water for Chocolate met with critical raves — applies a similar surreal beauty and sense of the fantastical here, the story is far less intriguing.
		At this point, Arau take the opportunity to infuse the film with lavish and sensuous scenes of the harvesting and crushing of the grapes and the general merriment that goes along with wine-making.
		Arau manages to create a fairy-tale world that is sometimes enchanting, but unfortunately his style can't make up for what the story lacks in substance.

	El Aguila Descalza (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		In 1968, Arau and Héctor Ortega collaborated on a new comic book, "El Aguila Descalza," which ran for somewhat less than a year (on a weekly schedule).
		The working-class barrio superhero was translated to the screen in 1969, with Arau making his feature directorial debut (in addition to playing the hero and the villain, and collaborating on the script).
		[Mascalzzone is played by Arau wearing a "bald wig" and a false nose; his voice appears to have been post-dubbed at least part of the time] Meanwhile, Poncho, who works in a factory and lives with his aunt in a humble working-class neighborhood, is secretly "El Aguila Descalza," who spends his nights righting wrongs.

		Instead, Isaac and Arau create a pastiche of the numerous venues of the era, just as Arau's character "Tiliches" is a combination of Cantinflas, Resortes, Palillo, and other comics.
		Some of the men's hairstyles aren't quite 1950s, and some of the "period" performers look a little long in the tooth, but for the most part the period is pleasantly and authentically evoked.
		Arau is clearly the star, with Córdova holding his own; both men are excellent in their roles.

		Multi-talented Mexican artist who began as a dancer before turning to acting and eventually writing, directing and producing motion pictures.
		Arau made his feature directing debut with the Mexican-lensed "The Barefoot Eagle" (1967), before playing what would be the first in a series of somewhat stereotypical characters for Hollywood in Sam Peckinpah's landmark Western "The Wild Bunch" (1969).
		Subsequently, the thin, handsome and often mustached Arau alternated between acting assignments in the US and producing, directing, writing and starring in his own projects in Mexico....

	Wellesnet: Old News
		An incredible story begins that night, a story of love, of a never tiring attempt to remain true - "true to one's true love" -, of the entanglement of love and jealousy: between children and their parents, among the children themselves, among the parents.
		Alfonso Arau does not fear comparison with Orson Welles, nor with Visconti - the ealy Amberson ball sequence is perhaps only half as long, but certainly as splendid as the great party at the end of "Il Gattopardo".
		Arau has used Welles' original screenplay, and its spirit is indeed palpable in his film - all the more so as he succeeds in NOT doing a copy.

	Committed Movie Review - MovieWeb
		With a little help from her brother Jay (Casey Affleck), his new girlfriend, Carmen (Patricia Velasquez), Carl's tantalizing neighbor, Neil (Goran Visnjic) and a Mexican medicine man (Alfonso Arau), Joline discovers the ups and downs of being the most committed woman in America.
		I walked into the screening of Committed with low expectations, having acquired some taste for Heather Graham though her appearances in Drugstore Cowboy, Swingers, Boogie Nights, and, perhaps most notably, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, but bearing little hope for a good story.
		The premise of the story is lame at best, but the combination of on-screen talent and resourceful writing and directing manage to pull off a better-than-mediocre movie.
