@odradek, the more I listen to him, the more I'm convinced that, aside from all the personal nonsense (which idiots fall for reacting like fools) with which I season my reviews of Zappa, he was TRULY a genius. I had the honor of seeing him live in 1982, and he gave me the impression of a conductor, unlike that quirky image he portrays. And I remember that the night after in Palermo all hell broke loose with tear gas being thrown!!!

It’s euphemistic to say there were some imperfections in the rhythm section; the drummer should have been kicked in the ass...

If we saved our criticisms of movies like we do with records, Debaser could pack up and call it a day. If you're referring to unmotivated, superficial critiques, or those made just to be a pain, then I agree with you, but that's not the case with the criticisms directed at this film.

@gbrunoro I couldn't agree more, they really make you lose the desire to leave a comment...Kubrick inferior to Takashi Miike and Jodorowsky, stuff that makes the mother of the Lumière brothers abort painfully...

And thanks for giving you a great hour and a half, these are not the Babyshambles or whatever they're called...I (unfortunately?) have the remastered version on CD that sounds great, though. These two were coming off the big super session with Stills from the year before. If this made you go crazy, you absolutely have to get "The lost concert tapes," a CD that came out a few years ago featuring found tapes from a concert at the Fillmore in '68. It might even be better, with a very young and unknown Johnny Winter, great tracks by Elmore James and BB King, again "The 59th Street Bridge Song" by Paul Simon and "Don'T Throw Your Love On Me So Strong" by Albert King, plus a great version of "Season of the Witch" by Donovan.

Yes, purpulan, but "Battaglia nel cielo" disappointed me; it could have been a great film, it has all the ingredients, even the quality of leaving you with a bitter taste like a good fernet, but damn how much it disappointed me.

Let's say that the film owes much of its strength to the stunning screenplay by Arriaga, who (let's not forget) is an internationally acclaimed writer. The problem with the Inarritu/Arriaga duo is that either you take, package, and bring home the stunning, powerful, devastating vision, or you start to notice the artificiality of the plot, the inconsistencies both narrative and cinematic that, in some cases, seemed irritating to me.

@odradek, it’s precisely that “contradiction” that led me to think about the futility of ratings in “certain” cases; your reluctance to assign them by choosing between a 3 and a 4 only seems to confirm it. Moreover, I’m convinced that mementomori’s review is self-explanatory; if they hadn’t assigned a rating, I don’t think we would have felt its absence. By the way, I also discovered a wonderful album from 2003 by an “unknown” English singer-songwriter capable of creating a sound pastiche that could serve as a soundtrack for a book. If I were to review it, the rating would seem limiting to me; it happens in some cases.

I didn't mean to demonize numbers, since I use them just like you do, perhaps exaggerating in this case. But in Wyatt's case, the emotional side is so thick that I wouldn't be measuring between three and four.

giving less than four, between three and four, five... in the case of artists like this, such discussions seem limited to me if we don't take into account the "emotional" side that they manage to (re)awaken in the listener. Specifically, the "quid" is precisely given by this aspect that, for once, surpasses the cold urgency of reducing everything to a mere report card.
