Area -Arbeit Macht Frei
Here they come! The best interpretation of the 1973 society. Excellent musicians with excellent ideas. The scene is taking shape. Hold on tight. more

Inseparable Study Companions. Meeting each other too late, loved unconditionally.
Even though I didn't experience the '70s (I was just a kid), listening to them catapults you back in time to relive their era, from their side of the barricades. more

There isn't a DeMezzo grade, but it would be a 3.5. more
Bob Dylan & The Band -The Basement Tapes
The Bacchanals of Rock music, an orgiastic mix of Folk, Blues, Country, Rock’n’Roll, Psychedelia, and much more. A cornerstone of 20th-century music, within the grooves of this double LP (conceived in a cellar in 1967, but officially released in 1975) flow one by one all the masterpieces of the great American-British novel that will see the light in the following years: “Exile on Main Street”, “Tonight’s The Night”, “The River”, “Rain Dogs”, all offspring of these ragtag and delirious sessions. Here, the collaboration between Dylan and the Band reaches its peak of improvisation and experimentation, concluding and completing the famous electric trilogy. From now on, nothing will ever be the same again. 10. more
All Saints
They had a bit of talent compared to the Spice (who were just a product) and were more beautiful than them (Victoria was the only truly beautiful one in the group). more
Bob Dylan -Infidels
A record played by God, seasoned with sublime arrangements and featuring an exceptional lineup of musicians, such as Mick Taylor, a prominent figure of the best Stones ever, but above all his majesty Mark Knopfler (also here as producer) and Alan Clark, respectively the soul and beating heart of Dire Straits in the mid-'80s. The tracks are all beautiful, ranging from guitar-driven anthems to nostalgic old-school blues ballads (notably “I and I”, perhaps the best of the bunch alongside “Sweetheart Like You”, of which Prince De Gregori made a faithful Italian version). 8.5. more
The Cramps -Gravest Hits
Debut EP simply perfect, one original piece and four excellent covers. Three tracks stand out in particular: the surprising "Lux" that shifts from a slow melancholic tone into a beautiful "Lonesome Town," the much more predictable interpretation of the zany "Uccello che surfa" by Spazzaturauomini, which fits the Cramps like cream on grandma's cake, and finally "Human Fly," the song they wrote themselves, which is one of my favorites from their repertoire of twenty-year-old sour and expired rock'n'roll. more
Lenny Kravitz
Great, useless man of nothing. more
Christopher Nolan -Tenet
Sophisticated and simple, mechanical and spiritual, explosive and calm, icy and burning: this is the controversial work of Christopher Nolan, now firmly established in legend. Tenet. Pure, crystalline cinematic art, propped up by the post-postmodern zeitgeist of hypertechnological revolution. At the cinema, after what was for me a cathartic and wild multisensory experience, I exclaimed: “This film is ferociously insane.”

P.S. “Controversial,” to say the least. I foresee storms over such a definition. more
Bob Dylan -Bringing It All Back Home
First milestone of the electric trilogy of the '60s, yet another great album. It is often judged as inferior to the subsequent ones, a notion I completely disagree with. While it may be rougher and more raw, it perhaps loses some musicality but gains in immediacy. Moreover, it was a seminal record; I believe that Bennato of the '70s owes much more to this album than to the others. more

Bob Dylan -The Times They Are A-Changin'
According to a highly inspired folk chapter, sparse and rough, with streams of apocalyptic and violent words. Ten epoch-making tracks, ten punches to the gut, leaving an enormous legacy for subsequent generations. I have always imagined that the ghost of this album is the same that hovers in "Nebraska," of which it acts as a kind of older brother. more
Bob Dylan  -The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan
The first great masterpiece of the purist folk Dylan. “Blowin’ in The Wind,” “Girl from the North Country,” “Masters of War,” and “A Hard Rain’s A-gonna fall” are milestones. And then there is, standing above all, “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right,” which is disarmingly beautiful and is one of the songs of my life.
10 for everything: value and historical significance. more
Nanni Moretti
Am I more noticeable if I come and stay aside, or if I don’t come at all? more
Nanni Moretti
Always rebranded as the Italian Allen since his memorable debut in super8 with “Io sono un autarchico” and “Ecce Bombo” (films packed with cult scenes), he has managed over time to achieve a certain personal and emotional maturity that led him to at least two masterpieces in the '80s, namely “Bianca” and “La messa è finita.” The '90s were also beautiful with “Caro Diario” and “Aprile,” culminating in the well-deserved Palme d'Or at Cannes for “La stanza del figlio.” A bit subdued in the last twenty years. more
Bob Dylan -Blood On The Tracks
A memorable album, from start to finish. One of the greatest masterpieces of the Minstrel from Duluth. As a kid, I leaned more towards Dylan's electric sound from the '60s (which I continue to adore, to be clear), but now perhaps this is my favorite Zimmermann. 5 stars is even too few. more
Joe Jackson -Body And Soul
A record that I really like a lot. more
