Hal Ashby Coming Home

The lesser complexity is only related to the language of the scenes; "Harold And Maude" is a more complex film in this sense (Harold's fake suicides, the tortures inflicted on potential girlfriends, etc.). The final scene is important, but in a review, I cannot discuss it, otherwise the very principle of writing reviews falls apart.

Carmen Consoli Eva Contro Eva

The first chapter of "Niente E Così Sia" is a punch in the stomach; I struggled a lot to finish it, but that entire book is heartbreaking and painful. At the time, it caused a scandal, and today everyone should read it. Forget about "little bourgeois"; Fallaci took the bullets to truly recount the events that were happening (Mexico City 1968).

At the moment, Oriana Fallaci has written the most beautiful book on the conquest of space, "If the Sun Dies," a fierce act of denunciation against the war in Vietnam, "Nothing and So Be It," and a novel of extraordinary passion that is "A Man."

Japan Tin Drum

Very beautiful album, as is the subsequent Live "Oil On Canvas." Drummer Steve Jansen has developed a very unique style that is immediately recognizable; for years he has been the official drummer on Alice's tours and plays with other former Japan members Karn and Barbieri on many of his works, "Il Sole Nella Pioggia" above all.

On Audrey, the following year she will make "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and embark on a decade filled with masterpiece films: "Charade," "Two for the Road," "Wait Until Dark," "My Fair Lady." She will have fun in "Paris When It Sizzles" and "How to Steal a Million," and will take on a daring film like "Quelle Due." If there's an actress with a practically perfect career, it's her.

I repeat, it's complex; appearances can be deceiving. Thank you for the comments.

Paul McCartney Chaos And Creation In The Backyard

27 oct 07

Voto:

McCartney is the one who has experimented the most, it's true, also because he has always spent countless hours in his home studio where "McCartney I" and "II" were born, along with a lot of other material still in the drawer. Lennon and Harrison always tinkered with electronics, but Paul managed to master it. His only flaw is inconsistency; otherwise, his solo career boasts quite a few really beautiful albums: "I," "Ram," "Band On The Run," "Venus And Mars," "Flaming Pie," "Flowers In The Dirt," and many other gems scattered throughout his other works.

All the music of "A Day In The Life" is by Paul. He is a great composer, which Lennon was not. As I have already mentioned, McCartney loves to play with the sounds of words in his songs and, in fact, the lyrics taken out of context are often not much (see My Love), but when placed in the music, they sound fantastic. This is a very beautiful work; Paul is managed brilliantly and thus does not get lost as he has in other occasions ("Driving Rain," for example, is dreadful) among useless things and stylistic exercises. However, I believe he has never fully expressed his enormous talent; let’s say he has always operated at about 60% of his real capabilities.

Renaissance Prologue

Beautiful!! I own it on original vinyl, worn by those who had it before me, especially "Sound Of The Sea." A remarkable band that has its roots in European music, especially from the 19th and early 20th centuries; the reference to "Bolero" in "Prologue" is quite evident.
