Nice review, I probably will never see this movie but it's as if.

Yes, but dear @[relator], we are a bit lacking in the composition.. I found DeBaserBot's comment about the beloved live performance quite funny, touché.

It’s true, the reviews are a bit long, but the quality of the film choices you discuss is top-notch, I’m following you. I agree with you on the length and with @[Confaloni] about the film that flows by which is a pleasure.
Errol Morris L'operazione Chaos e gli omicidi di Manson
Voto:
Having seen the docu, I also think that the MkUltra theory was a bit far-fetched, but the interviewees seem very convinced. What has always seemed strange, though, is how a weirdo like Manson could attract so many women to him; okay, they were all misfits looking for understanding, drugs, and so on. Whatever. I remember that anecdote I read in a bio about Morrison, about one of the followers who was taken by Manson himself to a recording studio where the Doors were playing, and Manson offered her to them for some post-recording fun. In fact, everyone from Jim onward, including the sound technicians, took turns with her thrown on a console. I think Manson had this boundless ambition to break into music and did everything to get attention, and in the end, the resentment of being barely noticed... There’s that MkUltra theory, but when you scratch the surface, it’s just a man with a bit of talent that he himself overestimated, but with little desire to hustle to learn and not enough intellectual finesse to make it a true career. Rece ok, I’d say.
Franco Zeffirelli Gesù di Nazareth

I never discuss faith; I don't believe in any creed, but I respect the beliefs of others. The review is described very well, with that touch of redundancy that does justice to the work itself. The theme of guilt, Judas's repentance, and consequently the repentance of all believers fascinates me a great deal, just as I am fascinated by how it has been explored in all related films. I see these people close to me—relatives, friends, very religious colleagues—who occasionally go to the prèvat and unload their conscience, and then they feel better. Being able to forgive oneself is one of the most difficult things for a human being, so delegating this act of confession, let's admit it, is a great invention of the Church. Of course, I watched the series back then; it was an unmissable appointment. But given how I watched Uccelli di Rovo, it was just a high-quality television event and nothing more. Nonetheless, even back then, I considered it, aside from Powell, who was masterful, a clever move on Zeffirelli's part.
Peter Tosh Legalize It

Excellent review of an album that made listeners at the time realize that reggae was not just Marley, but that there was an infinite world behind it, that Jamaica was a bubbling forge of talents and musical innovators, a world that many of us from those times went to discover. The characters behind the console, recording studios that were admired and frequented by Western artists, for example, look at the credits of Aux armes et cætera by Gainsbourg, who enjoyed that period in Jamaica, and so on... Beautiful page, thank you... Oh, I almost forgot: I saw Peter Tosh live, opening for Bennato in an uncertain, improbable show here in Lugano in the mid-'80s. And what can I say, he was a very handsome man too 😍
Wim Wenders Paris, Texas

I was twenty when this movie came out, and I loved it so much that after watching it with my insensitive boyfriend and friends, I went to see it again by myself a few days later. The monologue, what a crazy thing, but I understand that today it might bore many. Who knows, if I watched it again today, it might bore me too. Kinski was stunningly beautiful, and Stanton had a wonderfully endearing ugliness. It was a film of its time; I compare it to Until the End of the World, which could probably also be considered boring today. Then the soundtracks of both, rushing to buy the records was a ritual. Today, are the soundtracks of current films bought, or rather downloaded? I have my doubts; if I'm wrong, let me know.
Afterhours Hai paura del buio?

A great record, emblematic of a magical moment in the Italian underground. But to call Agnelli a genius is a stretch, come on, and the others? Just simple supporting characters? One of the strengths of this album was precisely the cohesion among the various parts at that specific moment.
