I haven't seen it, but it's definitely on the list, especially since there are two of Bergman's three main muses here (only Liv Ullmann is missing) and the ever-punctual Von Sydow, so it's a safe bet.
A review of substance and spirit, but it's a shame about that "donne incinta" which stands out more than once and the incorrect spelling of the diva Marilyn's name. Precision is necessary, damn it!

An interesting note because the little witch, with her charming ways, somewhat confused me, pushing me to watch the film to clarify some doubts. The theme is: is the critique of the Romanian healthcare system a topic dear to Puiu, or is the director simply making a dark comedy about a system that accepts what "seems to be normal" to elicit a couple of laughs? I tend to think it's the former option, and I think you will confirm, @[TataOgg], but opening the page and seeing this surely desolate poster (while it seems the original is another, certainly less dramatic but more grotesque, in which a group of friends, nurses, and staff are joyfully smiling by the bedside-stretcher of poor Lazarescu), the "dramatic" genre you noted and the overall examination seem to give an unbalanced connotation leaning more towards drama than dark comedy. I now have a somewhat distorted impression, considering that here and there the film is receiving praise for its alleged comedic flair. Even though in the end, looking closely, I’m sure you are right. #maybe.

The gentlemen above are rather harsh. I was unaware of the existence of the OST in question, but I must say that upon a first listen, it appears interesting, perhaps also because Wyatt's voice, which I have always tolerated little, seems less prominent than in his other more famous works. But here, clearly, we (are) descending into personal judgment.
I rather prize the courage to put forward a strong opinion that pleasantly goes against the usual standards of judgment according to which this EP should be the second best work of RW, as it implicitly tends to dismantle that usual scale of values where, okay, Rock Bottom is in first place, but right after are the top three with End of an Ear leading the way. A dynamite attitude, but courageous.

Exactly, for me it’s just like that: Arca has freed herself from the heavy burden of her unwanted male sexuality, and all of this is now reflected in her "second act" where she flaunts her new androgynous body and minimizes purely instrumental digressions. Better now? I wouldn’t know. In fact, maybe I do: for me, between "Xen" and "Arca", the former is much better. The latter, despite being obviously different from this latest work in terms of mood, hints at the new Arca in the guise of a performer, so I don’t expect this latest one to attract me more than Ghersi’s DJ versions. However, a few listens certainly reveal some nice things: "Time," "Calor," and "Afterwards," to name a few. The piece with ROSALIA (who the hell is that?) makes me want to indulge in delightful despair. I need to mature my listening experience a bit more, but I don’t think my personal judgment will stray too far from my initial impressions: a good work in my opinion, but not at the level of producer albums.
A good review, as it captures the key of the discussion. It almost makes me ignore that bloody "d'apprima" written like that, without any warning in the middle of our lady of the Turks.

Indeed, "Tragedy" and "Ekstasis" and then hic sunt leones, since I know nothing about the continuation of Holter and I've never understood whether it's worth getting interested in it. This review could provide a pretext to lend an ear to what came after.

What is it, a split personality? The one about Jodo promised a lot, this one a bit less. But I won't get carried away, especially since that reflection about the comparison with Montana is absolutely valid.
The movie, well, do I even need to say it (wrong quote but necessary).

But in the end, am I the only one who has seen it, along with the reviewer? Well, at least the final spoiler in the synopsis doesn’t bother me. Jodo, like Buñuel and many other sacred monsters of the celluloid world, is like this: take it or leave it. Often genius but also stubborn in wanting to shock at all costs. This film is its exact manifesto.
A pretty juicy review but without paragraphs. Paragraphs are a sign of order and discipline and they treat gout and hay fever. More paragraphs and less "behind" for everyone.

I must have heard this no more than a couple of times, since my favorites were undoubtedly the first four, beyond which I rarely ventured: I'm happily listening to it again and, can you believe it, I didn't remember that there was also a reprise of "Music for a Found Harmonium" from a decade earlier.
Great review as usual, apart from the terrible taste in candies perfectly in sync with those old jewelry boxes at my grandparents' house where you found the entire assortment of "Rossana" and Sperlari anise candies.

The work of @Rifracassa Cozze (a very valid anagram of our own) is always of vital importance to me, as every time I read one of his reviews, I promptly jot down the name of the subject reviewed in the list of records to steer clear of for the rest of my life.
He deserves a nice "uno," or worse, a "rov'igo" for that cacophonous "redarre," but I won't give him that satisfaction, especially since the good times of fighting against the ruinous media are sadly over. However, if he rigidly redirects "redarre," I will digest the editing of his writing with a laugh.
