The story loses some momentum along the way and possibly concludes in a less satisfying manner than one might have hoped. Stepping back from a story like the one told in this film titled 'El aviso' would be, to stay on theme, at least criminal.

What I try to do is simply narrate the aesthetic, social, and political dimensions of a spectacle that has taken the rightful place of cinema as the factory of desire. With Paul Breitner... I do the reverse journey. He becomes a negative symbol and a narrative link from Hitler’s bunker to the presidential box at the 1978 World Cup final.

"Jani Hirvonen is a true sound alchemist: 'Sax On, Sax Off' is practically an album based on the work of saxophonist Janne Martinkauppi, whose recordings have been virtually transformed into a new synthetic form." "'Sax On, Sax Off' moves from free improvisation and reaches a form of experimental drone and suburban jazz, a fortunate combination, but one that also requires smart work and respect for the other part."

The developments are easily predictable from the beginning and from what was the premise of this review.
The review critiques Caradog W. James's 2013 sci-fi film The Machine for relying heavily on overused clichés and predictable plotlines. It highlights the concept of cybernetic beings with advanced AI but finds the execution lacking in depth and originality. The reviewer contrasts it unfavorably with films like Ex Machina and references classics such as Nikita and Kill Bill to illustrate the trope of powerful yet fragile female characters. Ultimately, The Machine falls short despite an intriguing premise. Explore our in-depth review and decide if The Machine lives up to its sci-fi promise!
The difference between a classic and immortal style and a respectful attempt to renew the debate, yet lacking a certain necessary density, is felt. The film reinterprets Bradbury’s novel in light of contemporary technology and the circulation of information on the web.

This review reflects on Ramin Bahrani’s televised adaptation of Fahrenheit 451, noting its modern reinterpretation of Ray Bradbury’s classic. While the film features strong performances by Michael Shannon and Michael B. Jordan and introduces relevant contemporary themes about internet freedom, it remains a lighter, less dense work. The reviewer appreciates the attempt but finds it lacks the complexity and impact of the original novel. Unlike Truffaut’s version, Bahrani’s adaptation engages with modern technology but doesn’t fully delve into the implications. Discover Bahrani’s modern take on Fahrenheit 451—watch the film and explore themes of censorship and digital freedom today!
The audience is responding very well to both the album and the live shows. There certainly is a common thread through all my albums, of course, for me for sure, but I’m not sure if this applies to others.
