Don't worry, I'm going to work. And anyway - I was saying - the definition of "pure cinema" certainly does not refer to binary connotations of "positive/negative" such as those evidently intended by supersoul and you, dear anonymous reader. So let's make a mental effort for a moment (I know, it's difficult) and assume that pure cinema does NOT mean "beautiful cinema" or "very beautiful cinema," nor "super cool cinema." Since pure cinema is anything that, being Cinema (with a capital C as it refers to the ONLY expressive medium as such), has neither the pretense nor the intention (and therefore the possibility) of re-linking itself to real reality (understood as historical facts, but also as anything that can be read in terms of "reference" to the world's reality, from the point of view of the referentiality of the film text in question to any possible relationships "with" the world, "with its" mechanisms and "with their" representability). The cinema of the avant-gardes (Dada and Futurist, to be clear, but not only) was pure cinema. By extension, Kill Bill, which is programmatically born as a film that feeds on other films at the level of concept, substance, and image aesthetics, IS pure cinema. The anonymous commentator and supersoul should read these lines a couple of times before going to bed.

It’s no coincidence that Kill Bill was described as "pure cinema." So those who don’t know, I’m not saying "don’t speak," but at least don’t shoot off nonsense.

Quotes, non-quotes… what the hell are these conversations?? "Anyone can make a film full of quotes, even Vanzina"... what kind of bullshit is that?? Tarantino is GOOD. Period. That’s why he is successful. A success that is not just commercial but also relates to the fact that his films can delve into something like: "the icons of contemporary culture." With Pulp Fiction, he created icons. With Reservoir Dogs, he created icons. His dialogues are fucking icons. Tarantino is a badass creator of icons. And this, in addition to being a director with extraordinary talent, is his greatest achievement. I mean, even if he made a film set in a distant era, he would always manage to pull out from his film characters of contemporary relevance and absolute personality that many directors today wouldn’t even dream of.

completely useless review since everyone knows them.

5 and 5.

The film substance or specific filmic is not given by style and technical artifice (editing, photography, color switch) but is something much more underground that rather exploits those artifices in the light of accommodating the characteristics of "specificity" that are inherent to the image itself. Some considerations are very apt (NOT the one about specific filmic), but frankly, despite my love for Tarantino, Kill Bill is not that great.

great movie Collateral.

My thoughts are nonetheless related to a broader dimension than the album itself, which I still haven't had the opportunity to hear. I will make sure to remedy this gap as soon as possible.

Leonid, I believe that the term "overinterpretation" attached to the review of Easycure goes, in turn, "beyond." In my opinion, it is rather a personal reflection of the author, one that can be agreed or disagreed with, but it poses itself as such. As a contribution, a path that could lead to other paths, to other ways of understanding music. In the history of art, criticism has always played an important role because (in its most significant manifestations) it has always taken on the responsibility of unraveling, channeling, and suggesting new ways of understanding. Of course, there’s plenty to discuss about these matters, but the group itself (and William himself) is certainly made up of people who have had their fair share of mental gymnastics. Nevertheless, I do not mean to cast a negative light on the work of Battles (even though my instinct would be to say Stormandstress); on the contrary. It is from profound reasoning and concepts that true art emerges. This is the important kind, the kind of innovation. And innovation rhymes with interpretation. ;-)
