A technically excellent film (strange, right?!), but only decent in all other respects. It starts off quite well with a couple of dialogues and a few sequences (the hanging scene and the encounter with the bear man) that are definitely well done. Then it plods along without real narrative tension, as if it doesn’t really know where it’s going or what it truly wants to tell: the coming-of-age of the young girl? farewell to childhood/innocence? redemption of the old drunkard? Who knows. In between, there's a bit of boredom, some (too many...) telegraphed narrative solutions, villains who aren’t really that villainous, a character (Matt Damon) who pops in and out a bit too often, and a few charming dialogues. A bit too little for having received 10 Oscar nominations...

Sure, you did well, dear L. Don't pay attention to the babbling comments from yours truly: you write well and you have good taste, the rest are just nonsense fit for Bartlebrontosauruses. :) @Reverendissimo: to be honest, I haven't listened to that one. To be honest, I haven't properly listened to a new album in about six months. Let’s say I’ll get it, and when the gods of music decide to make me want to turn on the stereo again, I will devote myself to it body and soul (soul, that is).

Great Reverend!! Of the Masters, I only have the first two Totems (among the most outrageous things I've heard in the last two years), but if I remember correctly, they were working on the third one...

Not a suggestive review, which – in my opinion, of course – is partly valid and partly not so much. Because it's true that this is an album primarily about sensations, atmospheres, and states of mind, but it's also true that there was music to talk about, to describe, to say that it’s significantly different from the previous ones, with a more folk, more "post," more intimate vibe. An album that struck me intensely at the time of its release, and I would love to listen to it again calmly, if ever I have the time one day...

I'm sorry for the total lack of comments because the review does its dirty job well: it talks about a little-known Italian band and isn't a blabbermouth. And that (but also this) is really a virtue. Well done, Lo Monarca.

But in all this obsession with mothers, am I the only one who sees a tiny bit of an Oedipus complex?

It's not that I am always right. It's you who is almost always wrong. It sounds the same, but it’s not. It serves to give you joy!
