The Ark Work... it’s as if someone locked the nerdy thirteen-year-old cousin in a room with a stereo blasting black metal, a berserk MIDI sequencer, and Norse god projections. St. Anger, Illud Divinum Insanus, and Lulu have finally found a worthy successor.

It’s a film of pure entertainment, presents itself as such, and achieves its goal by avoiding philosophical/existential nonsense and slipping into rhetoric. Matt Damon, with prodigious ingenuity, despite dangers appearing as punctual as a Swiss watch, never loses heart for even a moment, indeed maintaining an all-American sense of humor in the most extreme and unimaginable situations.

The greatness of the director is also measured in being able to convey the message with as few devices as possible, and Winter Light thus represents the coldest and most cramped corner of his entire body of work. Religion, Bergman’s obsession and autobiographical trace, is an excuse to talk about human relationships, and the picture that emerges is not the happiest.

Ex Machina is straightforward, banal, permeated with a faux conceptual depth. Both ultimately end up caught, or more aptly, allow themselves to be caught, not so much by Ava’s intelligence as by their stupidity.

Blut aus Nord has always remained synonymous with Black Metal, capitalized, tout court. Clarissima Mundi Lumina is, in my opinion, without a doubt, the greatest, brightest, most triumphant composition of black metal ever created.

This band is mine, I set the few rules, and since I’m tired of black metal, its pervasive negativity and teenage angst, I want to lie down in a nice forest, smoke a bit of weed, hang out with friends and, I don’t know, do whatever comes to mind. The introduction of Melting Sun I has immediately become one of the tracks of the year: placid and euphoric at the same time... this track alone would suffice to silence all skeptics convinced that music must inherently be original to be moving.

Gyakuyunyu throws a bit of this and a bit of that into the salad bowl, manages to be enjoyable from start to finish without major slip-ups and returns to us after five long years an artist once again in a state of grace. Ringo manages to be all this even in the production of an apparently secondary work like Gyakuyunyu - Kowankyoku, a collection of self-covers, or songs she wrote for other artists, now rearranged in various styles.

Like Celeste and our very own The Secret, but (if possible) even more chaotic, irrational, and at the same time surgical. Quite untimely and not very innovative, absolutely adorable and devastating.

Stray Dogs is nothing but the latest, solemn expression of a director who is now desperate and aware of having reached the end of his dead-end street. At the finale, an oppressive, hallucinatory, unsustainable, revealing drapery of silence will descend: we remain alone, and our absolute void to stare at, contemplate, fear.
