Claude Sautet -Un Cuore In Inverno
A French luthier meets a young violinist. He does everything to sleep with her while pretending that he doesn’t care at all. He succeeds and then immediately lets her go. The girl, however, falls in love and is heartbroken. He, on the other hand, couldn’t care less. A legend! more
Quentin Tarantino -The Hateful Eight
At a resort in the Rocky Mountains, a few gunslingers arrive, eager to enjoy a winter getaway. The service leaves much to be desired, and the only restroom is located outside. As soon as they find this out, they all get really angry. more
Duncan Jones -Moon
A space miner gets injured on the Moon and the INAIL doesn't respond. Undeterred, he keeps calling the toll-free number. At some point, those back on Earth get fed up. more
Bong Joon-ho -Parasite
A family of moochers manages to get into the house of rich, brainless bourgeois and... they immediately hit the fridge. However, in the basement, there are two others who have priority. Chaos ensues... more
Lucio Battisti -Don Giovanni
not a perfect album in every way, but damn, the title track is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard in my life. almost 4.5 more
Pino Daniele -Iguana Cafè
"God bless you" and "don't trample the flowers in the desert," when compared, were two literary works. What utter nonsense. more
Roberto Vecchioni -Ipertensione
I really can't stand the oldie, but this one and the two that follow are eternal masterpieces, among the best produced by Italian singer-songwriter music. more
Elton John -Elton John
one of the highest peaks of sir e.j. more
Pino Daniele -Ferry Boat
one of the last kicks of the tail, if not the very last. almost 4.5 more
Antonello Venditti -Lilly
absolute masterpiece, 5 stars without even arguing. "compagno di scuola" and "lo stambecco ferito" two immense pieces. more
Elton John -Leather Jackets
one of the biggest bullshit in the history of WORLD music... I won’t vote because even giving 1 star would mean giving it some value. more
Francesco De Gregori -Rimmel
great album. second only to the homonymous '74 and "buffalo bill". it would be 5 stars not exactly full, but who cares. more
Edoardo Bennato -Il Paese Dei Balocchi
one of edo's worst records. still, there’s something to save (as always...) more
Edoardo Bennato -Uffà! Uffà!
If it had been recorded by Elio e le Storie Tese, I wouldn't have understood that the songs were written by Bennato. A very strange album, completely outside the box. I won’t venture a rating; for certain works, it’s better to leave the voting slip blank. more
Cattle Decapitation
AHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!! more
HUGOMORALES -OCEANO
Surreal like the scene from Magnolia where frogs rain from the sky, fluid and super cool like Guillermo del Toro's The Shape of Water, Oceano is a grandiose postmodern pop album with elements of indie and dream pop, with a healthy dose of psychedelia sprinkled here and there. At times, it surprises with its almost absurd drift (like in the chorus of "In piedi sulle pinne," which riffs on a historic ad from the Carosello era for Negroni… there are so many stars…. Got it, right?) but in general, given the initial premise of an upside-down world (the fish have taken over the world (in the first track, La pesca degli umani), nothing else could be expected. Imaginative in its lyrics, Huomorales outdoes himself in the beautiful Tracheotomia, a lovely dreamy pop song that evokes a sort of Morrissey thrown into Il bar sotto il mare by Stefano Benni. Aquatic. more
Indochine
Very big. The Depeche Mode of France. The opening trio "L'aventurier," "Le péril jaune," and "3" alone would be enough to consecrate them in the new-wave/Synthpop Olympus. But they also delivered a masterpiece like "Paradize" twenty years after their debut and have consistently scattered pearls throughout their career. The '90s were the darkest period, while the 2011 live album "Putain de stade" is something imperial. more
Edoardo Bennato -E' arrivato un bastimento
The latest masterpiece by Benni, national and at the same time the most eclectic. A ship has arrived with electrical interventions that will make your hair stand on end, The city trembles, loaded like a spring, Mirrors of my dreams has extraordinary drum timings. 4.5 rounded up, does it deserve it?? more
Danilo Rea
If he had emigrated to America or Northern Europe (but he didn't), he would be up there (even though still alive) looking down on everyone alongside Keith Jarrett. more
