 It's not a cowboy movie, it's not an animated movie, it's not a porn movie, and maybe, if I think about it, it's not even a movie.

 If you remove all the segments where Renato Zero is filmed during the show for his twenty-eighth birthday at Bussola Domani, there's very little left of the movie.

Ciao Ni (1979) is Renato Zero's unconventional cinematic project blending theatrical performance with personal introspection. The film's loose plot, revolving around self-conflict, renders it more like an extended music video showcasing Renato Zero's stage persona. While ambitious, the movie struggles with coherence and cinematic impact but remains a unique artifact of Italian cult cinema. The review is based mainly on the film's memorable live show segments and its peculiar style. Discover Renato Zero's provocative and unusual film Ciao Ni—explore this cult cinematic experience today!

 "The conquest of the West was an orgy of blood."

 "Ketty will be the real 'man' in the film."

Soldato Blu (1970) is a groundbreaking Western that challenges traditional heroic portrayals by exposing brutal violence and historical atrocities like the Sand Creek massacre. The film's narrative unfolds through Ketty, a Native American captive, and Honus, a bewildered soldier, highlighting a reversal of perspectives. Alongside contemporaries like Little Big Man and A Man Called Horse, Soldato Blu played a key role in revitalizing the Western genre with political depth and raw realism. Though graphic and unsettling, its impact on cinematic history is undeniable. Discover the raw truth behind the Old West—watch Soldato Blu and explore a new perspective on classic Westerns.

 The album, despite numerous TV appearances, turned out to be not very homogeneous and too difficult for the adoring girls who screamed 'handsome!!' 'hunk!'

 The lyricist tries to do an almost philosophical work, but the creature dies in his arms leaving a hybrid work between rock and sentimentalism of the author.

Scialpi's 1983 album 'Estensioni' aimed to elevate the young artist into Italian pop's elite, blending rock and sentimental themes. While hit singles like 'Rocking Rolling' gained commercial success, much of the album felt uneven and challenging for mainstream audiences. Despite some standout tracks, the album's ambitious approach struggled to maintain cohesion. Scialpi later continued to achieve fame in the 80s, securing a lasting place in Italy's music scene. Discover Scialpi's unique mix of 80s Italian pop and rock—listen to 'Estensioni' and explore the roots of a youth icon!

 "When I made this album, I was a boy full of dreams, but I never expected that some music would surpass for many others the barriers of fashions, of seasons that pass and erase even memories." – Garbo, 2004

Garbo's debut album 'A Berlino... Va Bene' emerged in 1981, blending electronic music with alternative rock amid Italy's cultural shifts. The album reflects a generation's anxieties and new musical directions, drawing inspiration from Bowie’s Berlin era.

Garbo's work remains a notable but niche piece in Italian new wave history. Discover the melancholic charm of Garbo's debut—listen and explore a cornerstone of Italian new wave!

 The lyrics certainly feature a lot of youth unrest and social commentary along with a bit of healthy rhetoric.

 Ultimately, an honest work that perhaps withstood the test of time much better than Ruggeri's 'Champagne Molotov'.

Decibel's Novecento emerged after the band's split, as remaining members pursued an ambitious concept album about the end of the century. The album blends electronic, rock, and new wave influences while focusing on lyrics rich in youth unrest and social commentary. Compared to Enrico Ruggeri's solo work, Novecento has aged better. Though ambitious, it's an honest and compelling record reflecting its turbulent era. Dive into Decibel's Novecento to discover a pioneering Italian post-punk album full of raw energy and social insight.
