Renato Zero EroZero

A brief review, but more than enough to explain the value of this album without beating around the bush. Renato Zero in the '70s was exceptional, and this album is my favorite along with his collection "Incontro con Renato Zero," which is foundational. I also agree about his decline starting in the '80s, but honestly, in the '90s, he managed to find a creative vein that, while different if not opposite to that of the '70s, still has its own sense and non-trivial melodic interest.

Germi is a huge director and Sandrelli is a woman with exceptional charm and a way of acting... let's say "all her own" (just like Claudia Cardinale, another stunning woman). A beautiful film, I watched it on TV the other day for the umpteenth time: the more I see it, the more I like it. A little anecdote: last Sunday night I was watching "Cinematografo" and one of the guests said that «i cinepanettoni [like "Natale a Rio"] continue the tradition of Italian comedy», another reasoning guest replied that in her opinion the comparison with the great films of the true Italian comedy simply didn't exist even remotely, but that one was convinced arguing that «they are comedies, they are Italian, therefore they are Italian comedies»... Well, she’s happy.

Prokof'ev was an enormous genius, and "Peter and the Wolf" an excellent educational masterpiece. "I quote Carlo Cimmino: the "Fiabe Sonore" were exceptional.

I bypass all the fornicating comments written so far and say that the album is simply the masterpiece of the 20th century, in my opinion even better than "Sgt. Pepper's...", but perhaps I think this way just because I am more attached to this album than to the one from '67. Side A is grandly rock and the medley is a work of genius. An immortal example of coherence in discontinuity. P.S.: hats off to the reviewer for noticing the terrifyingly descending curve that brought us to "Womanizer," the final frontier of trash with its committed lyrics and its video for the repressed.

I quote giorgioladisa. If "Vacanze di Natale" deserves 3 stars, how many should "La caduta degli dei" by Rossellini get, 65? I hate this review for the subtly racist opening, the boundless arrogance in announcing your holidays in Sharm, the para-Jungian interpretations of characters created solely to be ridiculous caricatures, which you instead see as focal characters in the history of 20th-century art, the constant and ongoing glorification of Berlusconi's art that aims to make people believe that this stuff is art when in fact it's pure garbage (badly packaged) 100%. And, above all, I hate the waste of seeing that you have the knowledge and ability to review and write about beautiful things, yet you devote yourself to these enormous turds, passing them off as raw diamonds undervalued by a communistically intellectual audience. Now enough, get down to earth and talk about decent stuff.

Ace Of Base Flowers

I completely agree with the reviewer, both in the assertion that the Swedes lack a musical identity (not in the sense that they have just one big genre, but in the sense that all the ones they have have been taken from elsewhere) and in describing Ace of Base as nice. Four stars, however, is really too much.
