Great suggestion. Found it, now I’ll listen. Thank you.

@GEENOO Done soon: Pricasso

So you haven't seen this? Yes, I've seen them a couple of times too, but it's been too long ago, and I would have watched this; I was curious, but when it came around to my area, I missed it...

@PIXIES77: Tesis, are you talking about the Spanish film that came out in the mid-'90s? I liked it, but I think I watched it 7 or 8 years ago... In fact, right away I couldn't remember what it was about. Why do you ask? I don't find any connections with this... I remember I appreciated the atmosphere of attraction/repulsion towards violence, the murky, that the film maintained while not dwelling at all on the typical elements of the genre, even though it used the "pretext" of snuff movies to explore it... Maybe I'll look for it and watch it again. At this point, thanks for reminding me about it.

Well, PIXIES77, I don't think I have much to add: what I wrote is simply an opinion, what I remember staying with me from the film: great care, measured and effective direction, good performances from the actors, but a sense of inauthenticity and "cinematographic literature" that left me rather disappointed. And the mountains, yes, beautiful, but so beautiful that they appeared distant, a perfect backdrop for this operation. It's a matter of taste, you know, and mine are rather indefensible, by the way. Regarding Requiem, in fact, I believe I transcribed the critical opinion of someone else, who was far more reliable than mine (and whose view I fully shared) - P.S. I also left that comment to disrupt the sometimes awkward flow of certain comments...

I really liked Bartle's review of the same film, but the idea of using the dialogues for this one isn't bad. There's a scene in the film with a little song sung by the girl on the little boat, at night, I think, which could be extracted and turned into a video for, for example, any of Cave's darker songs. And I really like the little song, I do. Maybe it’s even on YouTube... - Anyway, if anyone is interested in a link to this film, click confidently on my nickname; I might still have it in some nook...

:))) I'm not kidding either - P.S. sticking to the "theme" of a man alone after the end of the world, I'm sharing a title with you, which is quite different from the ones mentioned and is a discovery I made about DeB, in the comments right in the review of "The Road." The book is Dissipatio H.G. by Guido Morselli, from 1973. They reprinted it in 2009. And they did well. ArriciaU

Ondadrek is not bad, and interestingly "Onda" was also the name of a record store I had about a dozen years ago, so it fits a bit. Yes, of course, simplification is a must, and simplification sometimes brings with it a certain definitiveness, but this doesn't help conversation, which in my opinion becomes richer when certainties (even "personal" ones) are replaced by doubts or at least a willingness to consider them. Otherwise, everything resembles too much to sports fandom, one side against the other "armed," and I find that boring, as well as pointless. Then, since we are in the realm of the highly debatable and the personal, allow me to communicate that the comparison of "La strada" to that other book you mention sent a chill down my spine and caused me physical discomfort... All stuff that passes in an instant, mind you, nothing irreparable, but how strange "tastes" can be, don't you think?

Yes, Punisher, but have you seen the show? The record isn't much, I was hoping that someone who knows their work would tell me about this show that I missed...
