 It feels like sensing the stimulus of the blade that opens the muscles and etches into the bones.

 Without transgression, there is no thrill and no orgasm.

Crimes of the Future presents a disturbing future where pain is numb and pleasure fades, driving humanity toward radical bodily evolution and mutilation as art. The film delves deeply into themes of eroticism, transgression, and the meaning of human sensation through stark, unsettling imagery and dialogue. Cronenberg’s minimalistic but intense approach highlights psychological and social decay with a dystopian lens. The reviewer praises its power to provoke and disturb, despite plot imperfections. This film transcends traditional horror with its conceptual depth. Dive into Cronenberg’s provocative world—watch Crimes of the Future and experience this unsettling blend of art, pain, and evolution.

 The surgical lucidity with which Anthony exposes his scars is impressive, almost vivisecting himself and the people he has encountered.

 A monstrously sincere book in everything it examines, and it’s not just about drugs.

Scar Tissue is an unflinching memoir by Anthony Kiedis that explores his tumultuous life filled with drug addiction, personal demons, and the harsh realities of rock stardom. The narrative is brutally honest and lucid, revealing not only his own scars but the darker sides of 1970s Los Angeles and the music world. Kiedis presents a self-critical account of his mistakes and desires, offering a deeply human and reflective perspective. This memoir serves as both a gripping life story and a cautionary tale about addiction and survival. Read Anthony Kiedis’ Scar Tissue for an unfiltered look at addiction and rock stardom’s darkest moments.

 Woodstock 1999 can easily be placed in one of the lowest circles of music festivals.

 That violent rebellion is a last gasp of dignity against power, but at the same time, it nests within infinite depravities.

The review highlights the appalling conditions and misconduct at Woodstock 1999, including extreme greed, violence, and neglect. Jamie Crawford’s documentary documents these horrors but offers little new insight. The festival is portrayed as a symbol of capitalism’s darkest excesses and cultural decline, marking a profound social failure at the turn of the millennium. Explore Jamie Crawford’s vivid Woodstock '99 documentary and understand the chaos behind one of the most infamous music festivals ever.

 The faces around, somehow, bear a mark of pain... a suffering to be expiated, to be purged like a poison that can only be liberated through this bacchanal.

 Mario Duplantier pounding on the double bass like a machine gun... the music soon becomes a simple and almost indistinct soundtrack to the diabolical circus.

The review captures the intense and visceral atmosphere of Gojira's 2022 Carroponte live show, focusing on the dedicated crowd and energetic performance. While noting some musical limitations, the concert's raw power and communal experience shine through. The fierce mosh pit and passionate fans emphasize the ritualistic nature of the event. Dive into the raw energy of Gojira’s live show and feel the metal passion – listen and experience the power now!

 It’s as if every gesture, every guitar note, those words uttered in Oxford English of which we understand very little, are all symbolic gestures.

 As if that were his only concert of the summer, as if we were his chosen audience, as if he had written those phrases just for us, for me.

The review captures the intense emotional journey of attending The Smile's live show in Ferrara. It highlights the deep connection fans have with Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood's music and the significance of witnessing the band's one-album performance and unreleased songs. The concert is described as a unique, almost sacred event that brings together diverse fans through rock and passion. Despite limited history compared to Radiohead, the live set embodies talent, energy, and heartfelt delivery. Dive into the heartfelt energy of The Smile’s live show – listen and relive the magic in Ferrara now!

 Without that name, they can return to being themselves, without the fear of disappointing or seeing a 6.0 on Pitchfork.

 An adrenaline rush not felt in a while in Tom and his friends’ records. That intellectual violence which, however, knows how to hit the gut.

The Smile's debut album sheds the pressure of Radiohead's name, allowing Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, and Tom Skinner to explore fresh musical territory. The album blends electronic, jazz, and orchestral elements with accessible song structures, showcasing their instrumental passion and creative energy. While the first half delivers intense energy and inventive sounds, the second half dips into more atmospheric territory reminiscent of Radiohead's style. Overall, the album is a strong, tactile musical experience with room for growth. Listen to The Smile’s debut and discover a fresh sound beyond Radiohead’s legacy.

 The Northman is a film of style, which never conveys a sense of authenticity.

 Words must go hand in hand with the vision: emphatic phrases can work in grand scenarios; here I see a wild and rough world prevailing, which would have better suited the reticence practiced.

The review highlights Robert Eggers' The Northman as a visually captivating Viking saga infused with dark mysticism and striking atmosphere. Despite its aesthetic strengths, the story is criticized for its flatness, verbosity, and lack of emotional depth. The director's vision impresses but fails to fully elevate the weak script and characters. Overall, the film is an intense stylistic experience with notable narrative shortcomings. Explore the mesmerizing yet flawed world of The Northman – watch it now and judge the Viking saga for yourself!

 You can’t die in the whirlpools of the desert while driving and listening to Spotify; you can’t face the storm while staying cool, lying on your home couch.

 Ecstasy and suffering now scream together in our veins, the anguish of the end strangles us.

This review captures the immersive and intense live experience of Iosonouncane's concert at Auditorium di Milano. The music, rich in hypnotic rhythms and metaphysical themes, transcends the limitations of recordings by demanding full engagement. The performance evokes vivid desert imagery and a powerful emotional journey of torment and transcendence, leaving the audience overwhelmed and exhilarated. Dive into Iosonouncane's powerful live performance—listen, feel, and experience the hypnotic desert fury now!

 The classic is such precisely because it always remains young: even at 59 years old, it is more agile and cunning than me.

 A film that does not live only on complex central scenes, indeed. It thrives on a lot of comedic de-escalation, on scenographies that seem like paintings, perfectly still, on deeply expressive, seductive faces.

The review praises Luchino Visconti's Il Gattopardo as a timeless classic that masterfully balances simplicity and depth. It highlights the film's elegant narrative style, the complex symbolism in characters like Prince Fabrizio, and the striking visual contrast between wide historical scenes and intimate close-ups. The review also emphasizes the film's rhythmic pacing and the iconic grand ball scene as emblematic of Visconti's artistic rigor and cinematic joy. Explore Visconti's masterpiece Il Gattopardo and experience an unforgettable journey through history, elegance, and cinematic artistry.

 A splendid black and white film that from the very start gives the story a slightly sorrowful tone.

 The fundamental flaw of the film, for me: it speaks the language of a world that is simply winding up on itself.

Mike Mills' C'mon C'mon is praised for its beautiful cinematography and nuanced portrayal of human relationships. The film's black and white visuals and intricate use of dialogue create a complex emotional landscape. However, the reviewer feels some dialogues are stale and the film overly focused on bourgeois family issues. Despite its artistic strengths, the movie sometimes feels pretentious. Discover the layered emotions and striking visuals of C'mon C'mon—watch it and explore its intricate human portraits today!
