Another mistake by Il_Paolo: Nazariota and not Nazareno, the leader of the commune. Rest is urgent.

Assuming and self-indulgent, they tend to become tiresome throughout the album. However, it’s a punch in the gut, especially in the first two tracks, true masterpieces. I round it up to 5.

The rush

Well, it just so happens that I'm the first to comment on your second, wonderful review. Unfortunately, I haven't seen the film... but perhaps that's for the best because I experienced it while reading your writing, clear yet at the same time pictorial and imaginative. I congratulate you and I believe Deb has found a new, great, storyteller of cinema. I love the painful cinema that doesn't offer messages, nor consolations or easy ways out, precisely because it’s similar to life itself. Keep it up!

Good review, but, Il_Paolo, for the second time in the same day you force me to take the side of “'O Professore”, asking you to correct the title of the film: "Avere vent'anni" and not "Aver vent'anni", as indicated here. That said, let's say that Di Leo is one of the favorite filmmakers of the self-confessed fetishist Tarantino, who at the Venice Film Festival a few years ago asked for and obtained the projection of this tribute to the director from Foggia. To Lavalin - unless you’re your own fake as some insinuate - I highly recommend getting "Azione e Reazione" by Jean Starobinsky, a beautiful book that revisits the concepts mentioned above and transposes them from the physical world to the political and philosophical realm and so forth, never in a boring manner. There is an inevitability in the link between the two phenomena/concepts, almost as if the causal connection that links two phenomena in the physical world resonates, in parallel, in the non-physical realm, namely in history, politics, society, and even - personal opinion - in law.

I forgot

Il_Paolo, you are good at writing but not too much in math: 45% to Bongusto, 45% to the readers, and 5% to the writer makes a total of 95%. And the remaining 5%?!? Good job, Fred: you don't talk about "Frida" and "Malaga," songs with Latin exoticism. And he even composed the soundtrack for "Malizia" and "Fracchia la belva umana"!!

In my opinion, you are almost completely right, but let's not spread it too much.

@brunoro: I can agree with your post 29. The merit/limit of the group was, in my opinion, to sugarcoat and make all the trends it rode "pop." Anyway, I got into foreign music, even when I was young, precisely thanks to the Queen.

Since we are on the subject, instead of the current Prime Minister, I would have appointed the great Paola Senatore as minister; that way, I would have surpassed Caligula and his own epigones in one fell swoop. Appointing an individual who has suffered a stroke as a minister wouldn’t be a bad thing, as long as the stroke hasn’t impaired the mental faculties of the person in question; in fact, it would be a symbolic gesture against disabling diseases. But I don't believe this is the perspective of our present.
