I have to say that I often don't comment, in fact I probably have never commented on memento (and his cheerful albums, haha), but I take this opportunity to compliment him. Often here on debaser, the most commented reviews are not necessarily the best ones. I've always heard great things about the current ones, and I've been thinking for a while about taking advantage of your reviews, which I will definitely do.

I believe it was the first jazz record I ever heard. I didn't like everything; after all, I understood practically nothing about music (less than I do now). But I vividly remember Brecker's solo on Every Day (I think it's the most melodic track), for whatever that memory is worth. In fact, I'm going to download it again because who knows where the hell the cassette ended up.

In my opinion, it’s a beautiful film. Sure, it’s slow. But so are Kubrick, Bergman, Fassbinder, Tarkovsky, and many others.

You forget that my name isn't "everyone." Then excuse me, if for fifty years it has been repeated everywhere that "Citizen Kane" is the best film of all time, and you can't add anything of your own, not even say something that goes beyond "it's innovative, it kicks Kubrick's ass and the sparrows', go Juve," why did you even review it?

Yes, okay, I understand what you mean (which is not what Poletti intends): form is content, of course. Innovation, however, as "something that didn't exist before and now it does," no. It's a merit of the artist at most, but there are many innovative works that turn out to be imperfect, surpassed by what comes after. With this, I obviously don't want to say that Citizen Kane is a piece of crap. What I mean is that these absolutisms (Citizen Kane cannot be beaten for centuries to come) from a first-year DAMS student, without even the slightest shred of justification, seem like bullshit to me.

Sorry, but is Citizen Kane your favorite film because it's the most revolutionary for its time? I have no fear of technique, but I also believe that technique serves something else. Over time, innovation is no longer innovative, but the "intrinsic value" of a work remains, which moves us (communicates) regardless of whether it is innovative or not. So, The Lady from Shanghai or The Stranger give me more than Citizen Kane, and the same applies to many other films. I'm not the least bit interested in being a historian; there are enough of those already, but I couldn't care less about historical importance; I just like films. And this isn't a review with a personal viewpoint; it's just "well-known clichés about Citizen Kane."

A film has to move me to be beautiful (oh, how excited I am). You know how it is, I'm very rough around the edges; some technical subtleties and innovations tend to escape me and fail to excite me, especially if it's from '41. Hey, when will we see a review of the gramophone as the ultimate way to listen to records? It was innovative in its time. Revolutionary, I would dare say.

But the technical aspect is present in all films. But how many films today are stylistically perfect, that use all the tricks of Citizen Kane that aren't considered that great? You can talk about the history of art, but if someone says they appreciate something, after a series of phrases read a hundred thousand times, I have to swallow that Citizen Kane was liked by Poletti for its innovation? Come on. And he liked it more than Chaplin, more than Kubrick, and more than Hitchcock because it's "innovative"? Huh?
