The film leaves room for many doubts that go beyond the work itself and concern different forms and currents of thought believed to be revolutionary but that instead paved the way for what was then presented... as the end of all ideals.

Paolo Ciaffi Ricagno's 1984 film Pirata is a unique but flawed cult sci-fi work combining dystopian and punk influences. While visually and thematically ambitious, it is often seen as forgettable and low quality. The film critiques both Western media culture and Soviet authoritarianism with a mix of grotesque and surreal imagery. Despite its shortcomings, the review suggests the film's content is worth examining for its cultural and ideological complexities. Discover the provocative world of Pirata—watch this cult sci-fi classic and explore its dark punk dystopia.

Escape from the Bronx (1983) is a post-apocalyptic cult film directed by Enzo G. Castellari. While it excels in action sequences, setting, and soundtrack, the lead actor lacks charisma, which detracts from the film's overall impact. The movie contains strong social criticism about urban decay and institutional ghettoization, but is somewhat let down by recycled ideas. Despite its flaws, it holds value for fans of 80s Italian action cinema. Discover the cult classic Escape from the Bronx and explore its thrilling action and gritty urban themes!
The album... aims to be at the same time a manifestation of dissent against a capitalist and fascist drift of the political establishment and a call to a new opposition movement. Music - like any form of art - concretely represents the ideological content of significant segments of the society we live in.
