I saw it live and I liked it. The album is excellent, I agree with Alia.

Very nice as a review, but there's not much to do; you’re just really good at writing.

I'm sorry, but I prefer to give him one less means, as Blechtrommel rightly wrote. "April" remains a little gem.

"The Norwegians might be annoying, unapproachable grumps. I'm not racist... but certain peoples, whether you believe it or not, have some rather defined characteristics." Are you sure they were from Norway? Because I can assure you they're the opposite. The exact opposite. I don't know the group and I'll take note.

"It's a photo, not a movie!" you might allow, but that's a huge nonsense. It's not just a photo: there are millions and millions of stories. Marco Paolini, in his "Sergente nella Neve," says this in the introduction: "There is no Italian surname that hasn't remained there, in the unfortunate retreat of winter '42-'43. This is family history." In this type of photo, there's not just a moment of a war and therefore a historical document. There are people, it's life. It's people who, overnight, found themselves in the middle of a boat invading another country, fighting against other people who, overnight, found themselves defending a territory that wasn't theirs and without knowing why. Many of them stayed there, perhaps 6000 km away from their little village in America. War is a terrible thing, and documenting it is a tough job; it's not just a photo.

I really like the review, quite a lot actually. I will look for it.

I haven't had the time to listen to it yet; I need to carve out some time for myself. I'll do it as soon as possible, and welcome to Debaser.

Welcome also from my side. Send me more written like this, please.

Well, double well. It's not a masterpiece, far from it. I started with high expectations, especially considering the cast with many big names, but in the end, it was a disappointing film. The only ones I can save are Favino and Kim Rossi Stuart. The series must be watched and rewatched. That one succeeded much better also because the screenplay had to condense everything that was in De Cataldo's book, and there he made a mistake too: his book wasn't quite suitable for a simple feature film. Instead, a series with a set number of episodes allows for better story development, with a broader scope, enhances the quality of the scenes (some are really beautiful to watch, perfectly executed with the soundtrack and framing), and is definitely better also thanks to lesser-known but truly skilled actors.

I missed these answers, let me recover for a second. Let's start with dubbing. Watching films in their original languages is certainly a good thing, but let’s be careful; let's not consider dubbing simply an exercise in translation (because when it comes to translating movie titles, we do a terrible job). It’s primarily focused on vocality, so there must be a vocal expressiveness that is closer to the original actor (because logically, a perfect translation paired with a voice out of context sounds wrong), and on this, we have been decidedly avant-garde (if not the best). @Fsk, I don’t know you personally, but I take what you say at face value. Do you often share what you say? Your words flatter me. @Trilobita, I don't obsess over certain Tuscan expressions. For heaven's sake, that's certainly not my goal. I want to talk about a problem that also pertains to that dialect.
