The national team of Italy '90??? Look, this is hilarious. Baggio, Mancini, Vialli, Zenga, Baresi, Bergomi, Maldini... these names alone are enough, but I'll add Ancelotti, Donadoni, Vierchowod, Ferrara, Ferri. All a bunch of losers, huh???

Beautiful. It was the beginning of an endless series of live performances by De Gregori. From here on, the prince will release more live albums than studio ones. Along with his two "twins" (Musica leggera and Niente da capire), this constitutes, I would say, an essential triptych.

Absolute masterpiece. Of which the review says nothing, absolutely nothing.

Rob Reiner Stand By Me - Ricordo di un'estate

A great film from a beautiful story. King wrote some of his most beautiful pages in The Body, discussing the loss of innocence and the inevitable transition to adulthood... and the always brilliant Rob Reiner translates it impeccably to film here, thanks also to a cast of very young actors in a state of grace. A review that does not do justice to the themes of the film (the first encounter with death, the nostalgia of childhood, the traumas of growing up, friendship, the choices that shape one's destiny, and so on) and the song Stand by Me is not by Lennon (who did a cover) but by Ben E. King. Reiner repeated his success with King's books with the equally masterful Misery. A must-see.

Franco Battiato Gilgamesh

A confessedly insufficient review for this interesting work by Battiato. More convinced and more convincing than the previous Genesi, Gilgamesh is a piece poised between experimentation and classicism, finding a good expressive balance, and is therefore an enjoyable listen. Notable are the illustrious collaborations of Juri Camisasca, the reciting voice, and Giusto Pio for the orchestration, in what remains, to all intents and purposes, his last work (to date) with his friend Battiato.

Jean-Pierre Jeunet Una Lunga Domenica Di Passioni

I saw it at the cinema back in the day; I remember it being a good film, but I'm not voting for it because I should rewatch it. It would be between a 3 and a 4... we need more directors like Jeunet in my opinion: his alien is cartoonish and ironic, and I understand it may not appeal to everyone, but I think he did well to give the saga a more European interpretation and somehow an alternative to what has already been said and done.

Max Gazzè Tra l'Aratro e la Radio

Great job, a nice comeback after the misstep of "Un giorno". The collaboration with Santucci for the lyrics yields excellent results, and from a musical perspective, the album is very interesting, even if it's not immediately accessible. "L'aratro" requires several listens before it can be fully appreciated.
