Evoking the films of Carlos Saura in its allegorical portraits of culturally entrenched social and psychological landscapes (most notably, in The Hunt) coupled with Luis Buñuel's wry excoriation of the bourgeoisie, Mario Camus' The Holy Innocents presents a caustic and potent indictment of the inhumanity (and corruption) of privilege, class stratification, and marginalization.
The film opens to image of a soldier, Quirce (Juan Sachez), recently discharged from the military, writing a letter to his sister at an empty café in what would prove to be a procrastinated homecoming.

 THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- THE INNOCENTS
While there are supernatural films in which the presence of phantoms is unquestionable, yet said ghosts are never seen, THE INNOCENTS takes a completely different tact by vividly portraying these ghostly apparitions, without ever confirming that these visitations are real or simply within the imagination of the central character.
For an early 1960’s film, THE INNOCENTS is rather shocking in nature, although the shocking aspects of the movie have very little to do with the supernatural aspects of the story.
The film elements are in great shape for their age, displaying very few blemishes and other signs of wear.

 eric dodson - post-apocalyptic film
Ultimately then, the appeal of post-apocalyptic films is not that they depict distant, utterly outlandish realities, but that they illustrate a critical tension that is part of the world in which we are already living, where we find ourselves suspended between existential and post-modern world-tendencies.
In the final analysis, this may be post-apocalyptic film's greatest message; perhaps post-apocalyptic film's ultimate significance is that it implicitly asks each of us how he or she is participating in the larger revelation, in the larger apocalypse.
Post-apocalyptic films present the apocalypse itself as a fait accompli, whereas apocalyptic films focus upon the events surrounding the unfolding of the apocalypse.

 Classic-Horror Review of The Innocents (1961)
So convincing is her performance that, by the film's conclusion, Kerr's character seems to have aged, despite little change in her appearance.
It becomes apparent early on in the film, through the heavy use of point-of-view camera angles, that much of the on-screen experience is seen strictly through the eyes of Ms.
Further, since the film's soundtrack consists mostly of harmonious, complementary tones, those times the music takes a turn for the dissonant are exceptionally jarring, providing as much of a shock as the visual imagery they accompany.

 Underground
The film's real heart is its devastating idea of a morning after: the moment when, after being in the grip of a political delusion lasting several decades, a man can emerge from a subterranean hiding place in his native Yugoslavia and be told that there is no Yugoslavia any more.
Their nightlong celebration at the beginning of the film is spoiled by a bombing that kills animals in the local zoo, intimating what all the film's innocents have in store.
The film is nominally shorter than it was at Cannes, but its party scenes still unfold with an endless and exhausting frenzy until every last tuba has been heard.

In addition, the film is appropriately titled as the eskimos are keenly portrayed as inherently good people who simply have a different set of values and beliefs than modern society.
His films are often very unique for the time period and he seemed to have a commitment to realism in his work.
Plus the film itself is a fascinating and engrossing work, as well as being gorgeous to look at with its snowy white setting and ice blue frozen waters.

 The Innocents: Headshots
While mugshots and photo arrays are used to condemn and imprison innocent people, Simon has turned the camera around to document the victims of misidentification and perverted justice.
The mugshot—the emblem of photography in the criminal justice system—signifies the transition from innocent citizen to potential criminal.
Whether it is recorded on film or in digital format, the mugshot is seen as raw and cheap: a small image, traditionally in fl and white, that shows minimal detail of the subject.

 What Others Have Said About Innocents Betrayed
I used the film to educate mypro gun-control mother and she is now firmly on the side of the secondamendment admitting she never understood before.
Innocents Betrayed is absolutely vital viewing for open-minded individuals who currently believe that gun control will make them safer, fence-sitters who have not made up their mind about the gun control issue, and citizens of all countries who may not be aware of the insidious roots of genocide.
This film is about a Holocaust wreaked upon the innocents of the world, at the hands of not only crazed dictators, misguided regimes, and corrupt governments, but also at the hands of criminals.

However, when Miles arrives, he proves to be every bit as innocent and entrancing as his sister, and Miss Giddens decides that the school officials must have been mistaken.
Filmed at Sheffield Park in Sussex, this gothic horror film, coscripted by Truman Capote, is fairly faithful to the Henry James original.

 The Film Journal...Passionate and informed film criticism from an auteurist perspective.
Further, the film's focus on the conflict of traditional values, represented by the King of Qin, with the more modern aesthetic, represented by the "selfish" agenda of the Nameless Assassin, sounds remarkably similar to the central concerns of many Bollywood epics as well.
While the question of what is true or real teases us throughout the film as the stories of the assassins are told and re-told; each shares enough similarity to suggest that certain things appear to have happened, but they differ just enough to provoke confusion and uncertainty as to what those events really mean.
The film's exquisitely choreographed mano-a-mano battles are, oddly enough, reminiscent of a Gene Kelly or Fred Astaire musical, or, perhaps more accurately, a ballet with medieval weaponry.

 Foster on Film - Ghost Stories: The Innocents
In Victorian England, a wealthy man (Michael Redgrave) hires a repressed woman, Miss Gidden (Deborah Kerr), as the governess for his niece, Flora (Pamela Franklin), and nephew, Miles (Martin Stephens), giving her complete control as he never ventures to his country estate to see them.
Likewise, by the fifth conversation where Miss Gidden tells the housekeeper that she saw a ghost and the housekeeper says to leave it alone, I got the idea that Miss Gidden thought she saw a ghost and the housekeeper thought it should be forgotten about.
Rather than being a film aimed at the literate, this is pointed squarely at anyone who has the memory of a small house fern.

 Horror Films
This cult film redefined the concepts of beauty, love, and abnormality, but was so disturbingly ahead of its time that audiences stayed away in huge numbers, and it was even banned for 30 years in England.
Many of the films in the horror genre from the mid-1930s to the late 1950s were B-grade movies, inferior sequels, or atrocious low-budget gimmick films.
The latter film, a tale cautioning against conformity, was a classic tale of zombie-like clones taking over the bodies of the residents of a small California town.

The film reconstructs through eyewitness accounts the attack on Gulbarg and Patiya (Ahmedabad) and acts of barbaric violence against Moslem women at Eral and Delol/Kalol (Panchmahals) even as Chief Minister Modi traverses the state on his Gaurav Yatra.
The film studies and documents the situation months after the elections to find shocking faultlines – voluntary ghettoisation, segregation in schools, formal calls for economic boycott of Moslems and continuing acts of violence.

 Twitch - Death Note Review
The film has a high gloss feel and it’s ending is very open for future sequels which as of this writing are being aimed for a release in October (November).
Overall the film is a refreshing change from the usual Asian Horror out there today but it’s pace is quite slow and it’s action is minimal so it may seem a bit bland to those not fans of the Manga.
I think many fans of the manga will be disappointed with the film, and unfortunately may even go as far as forcing themselves to like it (just because it's a movie version of their beloved manga series).

And though The Innocents is a close adaptation of “The Turn of the Screw,” it’s also the only James adaptation that fully transcends the schematic gentility of its source.
With formal precision that only film artists seem to render vividly, Clayton — with damn-near heroic assistance from William Archibald, John Mortimer, and Truman Capote, who coauthored the screenplay — pierces through the refinement and the period trappings and the rhinoceros hide of the tale’s literary reputation.
His directorial eye was not as accustomed to this material as a more practiced horror director’s (a Terrence Fisher, let’s say) might have been, which enabled him to avoid the clichés and the stock effects of the genre expertly; almost as though they had never existed.
