Akira Kurosawa — Ran | DeRank™: 3,00

The first scene is magnificent. The silence in a wonderful environment, the peace, suddenly broken by the frantic and pointless hunt to kill an old wild boar, whose meat can no longer even be eaten, and its young.
Ran, which means Chaos, is told to us within the first 3 minutes. A superb story with exceptional costumes that reminds us how restless, chaotic, and mysterious our lives are. For me, one of the best films of the 80s. more
William Friedkin -Il Braccio Violento Della Legge

A masterpiece in its genre, featuring the most beautiful chase scene I can remember. With this and "The Conversation" from '74, Hackman is at his best. more

Ingmar Bergman -Persona

Ingmar Bergman — Persona | DeRank™: 0,00

Avant-garde film that has aged beautifully. Beyond the acting quality of Bergman’s two muses, the psychological film conveys a profound message that seeps in as the minutes pass. The actress’s conscious silence contrasts with the nurse’s need to speak and be heard. Their relationship of love at first, and then hatred, makes it clear that they are the same. They identify with each other (they blend into one another in a wonderful scene), rejecting the stereotypical image of women that does not allow instinctive, primal, and selfish behaviors and forces them to keep wearing a mask.

In Latin, in fact, the word Persona means Mask.

Scandalous that it isn’t shown on TV. more
Elaine May -E' ricca, la sposo e l'ammazzo

A very well-crafted early '70s comedy with Matthau at his peak. A little gem more

Jacques Becker — Il Buco (Le Trou) | DeRank™: 0,00

Exceptional film. The hole they dig thanks to solidarity and collective effort in the finale turns into the abyss of human selfishness that destroys everything. more

Rino Gaetano — Nuntereggae più | DeRank™: 3,00

The fame album, blessed with success thanks to third place achieved at Sanremo with "Gianna". It includes his best works ("Capofortuna"; "E cantava le canzoni"; the title track) and De Gregori on backing vocals in "Fabbricando case". more
AA. VV. -Saturday Night Fever: The Original Movie Sound Track
JpLoyRow
The quintessence of the disco music phenomenon, not just for the Bee Gees but because, fundamentally, it is a collection of the best produced up to that point. A disguised best of, a profusion of top-class disco music. more

Claudio Baglioni — Strada Facendo | DeRank™: 3,00

A true superstar (he appeals to mothers and, in turn, their daughters), he leaves Italy and heads to London to work with Geoff Westley. The result is a pleasant, charming album, at times surprising (the shy rock of "Via"), but, underneath it all, evanescent. Yet it’s a record-breaking best-seller. more
Adriano Celentano -Azzurro/Una carezza in un pugno
JpLoyRow
The only true album conceived from beginning to end in Celentano’s (endless) discography: two tracks that made history (“Una carezza in un pugno” and “Azzurro”) and a handful of songs of good, if not excellent, quality. Celentano’s ’68 was (almost) a revolution: his own. celentaniana: rivoluzione: more
Adriano Celentano -Io Non So Parlar D'Amore
JpLoyRow
After years of failures (in music, television, and film), he gets back in the game with a sincere and personal album, written by Mogol-Gianni Bella (the previous year, he laid the foundations for his triumph with the best seller "MinaCelentano"). Record sales (almost two million copies). more
Adriano Celentano -Le robe che ha detto Adriano
JpLoyRow
(Sermons (still tolerable) and lyrics that are all too orchestrated, but it’s one of his few coherent (and cohesive) albums, with the excellent gamble of "Mondo in Mi7a" and the fun "La storia di Serafino".) more

Raf — Cosa resterà ... | DeRank™: 3,00

Quality and sales: in its genre, an impeccable pop album. With two songs that made history ("Ti pretendo" and "Cosa resterà degli anni '80) and at least two more worth framing ("La battaglia del sesso"; "Santi nel viavai") vendite: more

Lucio Battisti — io tu noi tutti | DeRank™: 3,00

Battisti looks beyond Italian borders and creates an album with a distinctly (and delightfully) “West Coast” sound, perhaps one of his happiest and most fun records, featuring some unexpected touches (the synthesizer in “Soli”). more

The Beatles — Let it be | DeRank™: 3,00

The Beatles' last album, and basically a collection of luxury "leftovers" ("glued together," debatably, by Phil Spector to a band that had already broken up). Some things have gone down in history (the title track, "Across the universe"), others have not ("I've got a feeling"; "Two of us"). more
