With this 'Fango e stelle,' Ruggeri creates an album that lives half on its lyrics, here at one of his peaks as a songwriter, and half on sounds close to progressive rock.

The review praises Nolan's ambitious cosmic scope and intelligent storytelling in Interstellar but critiques the Hollywood influence that softens its deeper themes. The contemplative moments about the universe are well-executed yet balanced with emotional explanations to appeal to broader audiences. The ending, while not fully abstract or purely artistic, is engaging and visually strong. The reviewer hopes Nolan will return to more independent projects with greater narrative fluidity in the future. Discover Nolan's cosmic journey in Interstellar and explore its blend of science and emotion today!
