 "Lucio narrated the misery of humanity, but unlike Fabrizio, he did not necessarily want to find a poetic, ennobling key."

 "The song 'Come è profondo il mare' writes a treatise on humanity, society, the relentless mechanisms of human ferocity."

This review praises Lucio Dalla's album "Come è profondo il mare" Legacy Edition for its raw, poetic narration of humanity’s darkest depths. The album's unique blend of simple, popular language and profound philosophical insight highlights social despair, surrealism, and hope. The remastered sound and the diverse live performances on the second disc are seen as valuable improvements, making this edition a worthy purchase. Discover Lucio Dalla’s poetic masterpiece—listen to the remastered Legacy Edition and experience its rich tales of humanity today!

 The film that intended to reveal the monster in each of us loses almost all of its corrosive edge in the final phase.

 The dialogues unfold in a linear, almost crude manner, and those who sit at the table seem like puppets, mere diegetic functions.

The Place, directed by Paolo Genovese, suffers from an overambitious narrative and shallow characters compared to his prior success Perfetti sconosciuti. Inspired by a TV series, it starts strong but collapses under the weight of too many sketched profiles and simplistic dialogue. The acting is solid but limited by one-dimensional roles. Overall, the film loses its potential corrosive edge and ends on a notably saccharine note. Discover why The Place struggles to deliver despite its intriguing premise—read the full review and explore Paolo Genovese's work.

 Tennis definitely falls into this category [of sports hard to portray well].

 The febrile obsession of a boy obsessed with winning... an unyielding, inhuman force that actually conceals total fragility.

Borg McEnroe is a straightforward adaptation focusing on the intense rivalry and obsession in tennis. The film struggles to bring cinematic freshness and emotional depth to the sport’s repetitiveness, especially during match sequences. While character portrayals, particularly Borg's, show promise, the narrative remains thin and reliant on clichéd commentary. Ultimately, the film touches on the fragile nature behind competitive obsession but falls short of fully exploring its characters or aftermath. Discover the intense rivalry and obsession behind Borg and McEnroe—watch the film and explore its unique take on tennis drama.

 The subject matter isn’t about the murders themselves, but about how the agents manage to extract fragments of psyche from the words of prisoners or suspects.

 Like in the shrewd interrogations by the two colleagues, the series slowly develops its plotlines, lets them blossom in slow motion.

Mindhunter explores the psychological depths of FBI agents interviewing serial killers in 1977. Though initially distant and cerebral, the series gradually reveals complex characters and ethical dilemmas. Fincher's direction adds composure and subtlety, emphasizing the interrogation process over violence or suspense. The slow-paced narrative rewards patient viewers with rich storytelling and well-crafted performances. Dive into Mindhunter for a compelling, cerebral exploration of criminal psychology and character-driven storytelling.

 When the dialogues, often unnecessary, finally fall silent, the power of the images hits like a punch in the gut.

 The choice to follow the Act Up assemblies... did not benefit the specificity of the political discourse underpinning the film.

The film tackles a strong, known theme with an erratic approach, mixing styles and perspectives that may overwhelm viewers. While the political discourse sometimes feels predictable and uneven, the cinematic portrayal of sex and death delivers a powerful emotional impact. The review critiques the script's inconsistency and the film’s struggle to balance political ambition with aesthetic clarity. Overall, the reviewer finds the film partially successful but lacking depth in parts. Discover the emotional intensity and political struggles in '120 battiti al minuto'—watch and form your own perspective.

 The initial boredom of Eleven's condition is completely overturned halfway through the season and gives new life to the fiction as a whole.

 If the start of the season is shaky, in the lively finale it proves to be superior and more original than the first.

Stranger Things 2 starts with a disappointing mystery and less engaging setup compared to the first season. However, it improves significantly as it progresses, with richer character development and surprising turns. Eleven’s growth and Steve’s transformation add depth, while the finale offers thrilling action and a strong emotional payoff. The season solidifies the series’ appeal by focusing on the protagonists’ ordinary teenage struggles alongside supernatural threats. Dive into Stranger Things 2 for an evolving story filled with thrilling twists, unforgettable characters, and a finale you won’t forget!

 The fear of It is in limine, it is precisely a priori.

 Bill Skarsgård’s Pennywise works but needs to shriek, to approach its prey frenziedly; he is almost never scary on his own.

This review reflects on the unique conceptual fear in Andrés Muschietti's It, highlighting its strengths in capturing Stephen King's idea. The film is praised for good directing and character portrayal but critiqued for overused jump scares and less impactful Pennywise compared to the 1990 version. While not a masterpiece, it remains a decent horror movie that resonates through its theme of childhood fear. Discover the deeper fears behind Pennywise and experience the film’s haunting atmosphere with this detailed review!

 Great cinema is when images assume a life of their own, allowing individual interpretation.

 Mother! offers a disenchanted, crude, and sociologically interesting portrayal of motherhood and marital life.

This review explores Darren Aronofsky's Mother! through three interpretive layers: literal confusion, a challenging biblical metaphor, and a free, human-centered reading. The reviewer praises the film's direction, imagery, and performances, especially Jennifer Lawrence's role, while offering a personal and sociological interpretation focused on motherhood and the cycles of love and life. Though the biblical symbolism may feel forced, the film's emotional depth and visual storytelling mark it as great cinema. Dive into this multi-layered film interpretation and experience Aronofsky's Mother! from a fresh, human perspective.

 The invention of cookies really left me speechless.

 A much harsher Inception.

The 2014 Black Mirror Christmas special delivers one of the series' darkest and most inventive tales. Through nested stories and a chilling plot on the misuse of technology, it explores themes of social control, justice, and identity. The concept of 'cookies'—digital copies used for punishments across time—is especially unsettling. The episode's structure, surprises, and social commentary make it a standout dystopian narrative. Dive into Black Mirror: White Christmas—experience its twisty, chilling vision of technology and justice today!

 It’s not the monster that attracts the viewer’s attention, but the people who encounter it along their path in one way or another.

 The monster is therefore just a prod, a vibration that sets in motion the (often unexpressed) potential of Hawkins’ protagonists.

Stranger Things Season 1 is praised for its strong character focus that makes paranormal events relatable and engaging. The series balances 80s nostalgia and supernatural elements skillfully, supported by an excellent ensemble cast. Millie Bobby Brown’s portrayal of Eleven stands out for its charisma and maturity. The narrative’s strength lies in exploring the human reactions to extraordinary events rather than the events themselves. Dive into Stranger Things Season 1 and experience a thrilling blend of 80s nostalgia and compelling character drama!
