Popol Vuh — Nosferatu | DeRank™: 0,00

The audio-visual duo Herzog/Popol Vuh represents one of the highest artistic and sensory peaks of the 20th century. If I were asked what my all-time favorite soundtrack is, I would probably answer this one (and the film is the definitive representation of the myth of Nosferatu, with Kinski still an unmatched performer). more
James Gray -The Immigrant

James Gray — The Immigrant | DeRank™: 0,00

A drama directed and produced by James Gray, set in the first half of the last century in New York, where the stories of a beautiful Polish immigrant (Marion Cotillard) as 'the little match girl' intertwine with those of the pimp Joaquin Phoenix. Very (perhaps too) romanticized and tear-jerking. more

In Hüsker Dü, I often preferred Bob Mould; his songs didn't always convince me. As a solo artist, I really started to appreciate him. He has sipped his creativity, which isn't always a bad thing, while his long-time competitor has perhaps released too many albums that are often similar and sometimes a bit uninspired. His voice is definitely one of my favorites of all time. more

Dante Alighieri -La Divina Commedia
tonysoprano
Let's start with this premise: I am a novice in literature, and since I haven't read the entire Divina Commedia, I can't make a complete judgment about Dante (in fact, I've "only" read the most important cantos). Nevertheless, the Divina Commedia is an immense masterpiece, a milestone that should be read at least once in a lifetime, whether for school obligation or personal interest. In this work, Dante denounces a corrupt and ruthless world but hints at a glimmer of hope for the future in a very poetic finale. more

Aziza Brahim — Abbar el Hamada | DeRank™: 0,00

Born and raised in a Sahrawi refugee camp in the Algerian desert, Aziza Brahim is more than just a musician; she is also a poet and a human rights activist for the Sahrawi cause. This is her second album on Glitterbeat Records and a small masterpiece in the genre, where Aziza combines her sensitivity and poetic touch with the characteristic fury of the desert typical of Tinariwen. more

Bob Dylan — Melancholy Mood | DeRank™: 0,00

Bob Dylan sings Sinatra again in this EP that precedes the release of his upcoming album. Four songs delivered with his characteristic voice of a seasoned rockstar. I'm clearly biased, but I don't see how one could give this EP and the beauty of these songs a negative evaluation, and at this point, all I really care about is the release of the next album. more
John Michael McDonagh -Calvary

John Michael McDonagh — Calvary | DeRank™: 0,00

A thriller and a drama with spiritual content masterfully directed by John Michael McDonagh and featuring the usual great performance by Donald Gleeson. In confession, a man tells Father Lavelle that he wants to kill him to avenge the abuses he suffered as a child at the hands of a now-deceased priest, effectively giving him only one week to live. A film on the same theme as 'Spotlight', but from a radically different perspective. A masterpiece. more

Guy Ritchie | DeRank™: 0,00

Fantastic and brilliant "Lock & Stock" and "Snatch", fun and reckless "RocknRolla", experimental and absurd "Revolver", charming and lively the "Sherlock Holmes". Aside from that abominable garbage of "Travolti Dal Destino", I can say that he, along with Tarantino, is my all-time favorite director. more

I would divide their career into periods or decades: from Opera Prima to Poohlover they are immense, in the late '70s they produced great works like Stop and Viva, in the following decades they progressively decline and sometimes rise again with great enthusiasm. My favorite albums are Parsifal and Un po' del nostro tempo migliore. The songs I prefer individually are Linda and Uomini soli. Great band, 50 years is a long time, it's time to take a step back, thank you POOH. more

Thomas Vinterberg -Far from the Madding Crowd
sotomayor
A romantic drama centered around the beautiful and as independent as she is indecisive Carey Mulligan. Generally, I don’t like these 'romantic' films, referring both to the themes and the settings (the film is set in England in the second half of the nineteenth century), but in the end, I was swept away by the viewing just as if I were reading - indeed - a nineteenth-century novel by Thomas Hardy, the author from whose work the film is adapted. But Vinterberg, in the end, has certainly done much, much better and more interesting work. more

R.E.M. — Document | DeRank™: 7,94

After many years, I re-listened to this album, which I can consciously consider the pinnacle, the climax, and the definitive manifesto of the IRS era. Superior, for me, albeit not by much, to the beautiful Murmur and Reckoning. Among so many gems (starting with the opening track Finest worksong) and the famous The one I love and It's the end of the world as we know it, my favorite is Welcome to the occupation. more
Bruce Springsteen -Darkness On The Edge Of Town
fiomamyblue
With Darkness on the Edge of Town, the end of every illusion takes hold definitively: the 1978 album, in fact, marks in some way Bruce Springsteen's transition from youth—musically speaking—to adulthood and represents his maturation as a composer and writer; there is no desire to give up and there never will be, but there is an even more crushing awareness than in the past of how tough life and the road can be. more
