David Lynch -Una Storia Vera
teenagelobotomy
The most beautiful film across America, life, the wounds, the pain of memories. The linear flow of existence and of everything. A film that emanates humanity in every frame, one of those rare films where kindness and selflessness are something truly genuine and moving. One of the greatest masterpieces of American cinema. more

David Lynch — INLAND EMPIRE | DeRank™: 0,87

Disturbing, claustrophobic, epileptic, theoretical film. Impossible to decipher at a first viewing, but always on the edge of the inaccessible. A game of Russian dolls, a collection of parallel universes, cinema within cinema. Or a way for Lynch to subtly mock the audience with a film shot in digital without a script. Or all of this together, or everything opposite. An extreme experience in content, experimentalism, and length, which may please the most hardened Lynch fans (some even see it as his masterpiece), or irritate. As far as I'm concerned, it remains an indigestible hodgepodge, far from the dreamlike and heart-wrenching wonder of Mulholland Drive and the revolutionary, otherworldly power of Lost Highway. more

Chris Columbus -Harry Potter e la Pietra Filosofale
adrmb
A tasty cinematic opening to a saga that will inevitably regress, completely wasting the beautiful source material; however, the first chapter remains a more than decent film that manages to convey the fairy-tale sense and the wonder of discovering a magical world, thanks in part to a good musical theme. Well-crafted characterizations. more

Chuck Johnson — Velvet Arc | DeRank™: 0,00

Beautiful release on Trouble In Mind. An all-instrumental album by guitarist Chuck Johnson, a blues-psychadelic journey in the style of Ry Cooder with atmospheres reminiscent of 'Paris, Texas'. If you close your eyes, you can see Henry Dean Stanton appearing. more

2 out of 10 because I find it extremely beautiful, evocative, and interesting what was produced with the LeNoire group in the pre-Amici period, but after participating in the talent show, it has completely gone downhill, producing total crap - even though there are a few suggestions here and there in the sounds and one great song, 'Alice e il blu' -. What a shame about the waste, given her culture and her beautiful way of using her voice, personalizing with taste and respect everything she touches. more
Shari Springer Bergman and Robert Pulcini -Ten Thousand Saints
sotomayor
Drama directed by Shari Springer Bergman and Robert Pulcini featuring Ethan Hawke among the cast. There are plenty of elements that could make for a great film: rock and roll, especially the music of the Replacements, punk and hardcore, drugs and youth angst, a young pregnant girl, and a troubled, insecure boy facing situations larger than himself. However, I believe the film doesn't work as it should and could. Perhaps there’s too much on the plate. more

Initially a British blues group, they later shifted towards high-quality pop-rock with the arrival of the American duo Buckingham-Nicks. This change allowed them to remain in the Guinness World Records for five years for the sales record of "Rumours." The lineup, in addition to the rhythmic foundation provided by drummer Mick Fleetwood and bassist John McVie, includes pianist, songwriter, and singer Christine Perfect McVie, guitarist, songwriter, and singer Lindsey Buckingham, and singer-songwriter Stevie Nicks. more

Syd Barrett | DeRank™: 0,00

One must recognize his importance, even if he has done little compared to the other members. However, that little he has done has been immense for music and fundamental for the continuation of Pink Floyd's music. His works still sound hypnotic today; "See Emily Play" and "Arnold Layne" highlight the freshness of pure, youthful genius. "The Piper" is practically his first solo album, and here he expresses himself at the highest levels. "Jugband Blues" marks the end of a crazy, sick man, but it remains one of the most intriguing works from "A Saucerful of Secrets." Finally, the two solo albums are nothing short of magnetic; I much prefer "The Madcap Laughs," which is nearly perfect, while "Barrett" is less convincing, and you can feel that Barrett is definitively closing the door on Rock— a great loss for all lovers of the genre, which will be mourned for decades to come. Goodbye, Crazy Diamond! more

Second album by the band from Denver, Colorado. Epigones of the more famous Mumford & Sons, they reproduce that same American pop-folk sound of nice guys that I've never been able to appreciate. more
PJ Harvey -The Hope Six Demolition Project
sotomayor
It’s definitely not the album of the latest arrival, but it left me quite indifferent. Signs of improvement towards the end with 'Medicinals,' 'The Ministry of Social Affairs,' and 'The Wheel.' Stylish, perhaps too much: a slaughter of talent and talents. On the second listen, I gave up without any regrets. more
Luciano Ligabue -Sopravvissuti e sopravviventi
sotomayor
Third album by 'Liga' after the excellent debut and the subsequent 'Lambrusco coltelli rose & pop corn'. If we exclude the classics 'Ho messo via' and 'Walter il mago', two of the songs still beloved by his fans and that somehow have withstood the test of time, everything else doesn’t work. Flop on all levels. more
Lars von Trier -L'Elemento Del Crimine
teenagelobotomy
Raw is von Trier's immature first work, blatantly borrowing visually and atmospherically from Scott and Tarkovsky, yet it still manages to emanate a certain charm. Paradoxically, this film is sometimes overly criticized, when Lars has done much worse in his years as an overrated auteur. more

Gus Van Sant — Last Days | DeRank™: 3,50

Labeled by many, quite superficially, as a sort of biopic about Cobain's last days, it is in fact one of Van Sant's most beautiful and personal films (along with Gerry and Elephant, his masterpiece). It is also an experience (inspired, of course, by the story of the Nirvana frontman, but it would be reductive to stop there in the judgment) that is extreme and distant from any cinematic conventions regarding alienation and estrangement. Not for everyone’s taste, certainly not for those who love popcorn, but a film of the highest caliber. more

If the film is perhaps even superior, within the Herzogian oeuvre, compared to Nosferatu, the soundtrack is perhaps slightly inferior. Even though we're only talking about different degrees of perfection. more
