Well, it has never fully convinced me. The visionary madness is all there and well executed, there’s a more evident plot compared to the first Tetsuo even though it's by no means linear, the screenplay is (intentionally or not) confusing. Anyway, it has never managed to engage me too much even though I’ve watched it more than once. Rating 2.5

Got it. I have to say that after listening to the first two tracks, I thought I had been led astray, as they say in Rome, or "na ciavada" as we say in my area. The pieces by Modo and Monuments could easily fit into a compilation of the more commercial and banal new wave alongside Righeira and Gazebo. Luckily, the level rises with the ethereal and "pinkmilitari" Jeunesse D'Ivoire, the early (green but effective) Kirlian Camera, and especially with the excellent nervous wave of my fellow countrymen Frigidaire Tango. The red side is all high level: enchanting is the dreamy "Transea" by Litfiba, excellent is "Specchi D'Acqua" by Diaframma (here in an even drier version compared to the one in Siberia), and overwhelming are the Apulian Vox Rei in a sort of post-punk a la Pop Group. Finally, both the more experimental and crazy tracks from the compilation signed Die Form and Rinf are very interesting. I confirm what I wrote in the review: a compilation to own.

I saw it years ago, driven solely by the curiosity of seeing the Vicentine setting, and instead I found a great film beyond my expectations. The "out of focus" scene in Lake Fimon is well done and unsettling.

Now, for the sake of fairness, I'm waiting for you to review "Barack Obama, The Audacity of Hope" or "What is Politics?" by Walter Veltroni...

@BRAT12: I've already said it: I'm pessimistic. I don't believe in the fairy tale that everything bad in Italy is Berlusconi's fault, so I don't think that with his departure the land of pizza will suddenly become Eden... that's it.

"Standing on the beach With a gun in my hand, Staring at the sea Staring at the sand,
Staring down the barrel At the arab on the ground I can see his open mouth But I hear no sound...."

Far from being my ideal politician, it is true: Berlusca is a "democratic counterweight." If we want, it is mainly due to his money, but he is. In fact, I think that after he retires, we will go back to having a government a year like we used to, and since I am fundamentally a pessimist, I think that when he is out of the way, Italy will not necessarily change for the better as many naively believe.

"enormous popular support, even among Southern immigrants and non-EU citizens": true, and judging by the increasing percentages in central Italy, it seems that the electorate of the League is also becoming increasingly extra-Padan. I attribute the success to the foresight in pursuing certain objectives: now even the President of the Republic is a federalist, while a few years ago discussing federalism seemed like an attack on the Constitution and the unity of Italy.

"but thank God even McDonald's are plentiful in case of emergency," JDV666 good for the review but you can't make comments like that to me.

I have the entire discography of the Banshees, which I believe has consistently maintained a high average level with peaks of excellence. As for the Creatures, I have never listened to them; I do not agree with Psychophata in calling the previous album horrible, even though it contained some questionable dance hits. I found "Boomerang" from 1989 to be horrible, although after listening to it again recently, I have somewhat reevaluated it.
