Talk:Tuvalu (film)

Film review
Currently there's a gushing review of this movie from some site that's apparently used with permission. Even so, I think maybe we shouldn't use the review at all since the review is rather far from neutral about the movie. --Mr. Billion 01:57, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Tuvalu-cover.jpg
Image:Tuvalu-cover.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

 * Patrick Z. McGavin Nearly wordless `Tuvalu' is too repetitive. Chicago Tribune, February 1, 2002. P. 4. "French actor Denis Lavant -- the star of Leos Carax's early films and, more recently, Claire Denis' "Beau Travail," and a man who bears a striking resemblance to Buster Keaton -- plays Anton, a young dreamer whose blind father runs the bathhouse. Through a series of deceptive practices, Anton has convinced his father that the bathhouse is filled with customers. Anton's brother Gregor (Terrence Gillespie) is a ruthless industrialist who wants desperately to destroy the building and erect a futuristic city in its place. But that struggle is soon replaced by the movie's dominant story line, Anton's falling in love with a beautiful 18-year-old girl, Eva (Chuplan Hamatova)." "A fascinating work that never quite coalesces, Tuvalu finally becomes oppressively repetitive."
 * Mick LaSalle Tuvalu. San Francisco Chronicle. December 14, 2001. "An extended attempt to make a film of this kind, is a disappointment, a precious and grotesque exercise reminiscent of Jean-Pierre Jeunet's "Delicatessen," only less amusing."
