Oh, okay. Yes, really! Thank goodness a record like this is still being released, I hope they come back to perform live.

no no, you are absolutely right. Buster Keaton was also a great one.. I don't know if he was more brilliant than Chaplin, but he was definitely great.

Yes, but more than anything I was responding to Poletti indeed. But of course, it's no surprise that hundreds have taken cues from him... in Quarto Potere he crammed in every possible and imaginable innovation. Essentially, the rule is "everything that couldn't be done, I've done it" ...great and skillful provocateur Welles ;-) and yet once again I notice a rather uncritical fanaticism... how many other directors before or contemporaneous with him have been just as influential, perhaps for slightly more expressive inventions? For instance, how much did they draw from Chaplin? Or Eisenstein? Or Bunuel? Or Vigo? These are people who have narrated, interpreted, and criticized their time. These are innovators. Welles tells the story of his exorbitant ego and provokes. The difference is impossible to overlook.

You are wrong. I never said that I don't recognize Welles' artistic merits; I simply stated that comparing him to Shakespeare is a tremendous bullshit; from this, what can be inferred is that I would certainly never consider him the "greatest" or similar nonsense (which does not mean at all that I don't acknowledge his merits, but rather that I want to give a less exalted dimension to these merits) while I insist on believing that no form of art can presumptuously be misunderstood with egotistic digressions amidst some good insights.. my "sadly isolated" conviction at least is truly personal, and I much prefer it this way ;-D

the best italian act, can you believe it.. and to think that probably never before has there been such a flourishing underground in Italy.. I don't mean to sound cliché, but there is really something profoundly obscene in the media/economic mechanisms of Western societies

but Shakespeare, what about… apart from the beautiful period where you speak about the framing, it’s the usual rant about technical merits, as always wasted to the utmost by the pompous director in question… Shakespeare gave a much more substantial meaning to his technicalities, let’s not waste ourselves in useless comparisons.

Well, not to say, but the trend is quite clearly that. To be fair, if they hadn't distinctly distanced themselves and looked ahead, I certainly wouldn't be speaking about it in these terms. I'm someone who finds the post-rock attitude decidedly debatable from many points of view. And yet it would seem really ridiculous not to see a genetic matrix that starts from Slint, passes through cul de sac and Tortoise, and obviously connects to Don Caballero. If by post-rock you mean Mogwai, it's obvious that your argument makes sense. It all depends on the point of view. However, if post-rock is from the Louisville and Chicago school, it's entirely absurd to argue that they aren't partly their offspring.
