 There are so many versions of certain songs that you lose count... What does yet another version of Luci a San Siro or Samarcanda add or take away?

The reviewer questions whether the album was motivated by creative ambition or other reasons, ultimately suggesting it doesn't add value to his discography. Discover the full review and listen to 'In Cantus' to form your own opinion on Vecchioni's latest work.

 "The album travels along the line of a tension that, obviously, will never explode."

 In "Public Enemies," Michael Mann...puts the spotlight on the two protagonists, Depp and Bale, defocusing and relegating...the rest of the talented cast.

 The film is devoid of epicness that seeks to be lean and dry: a historical account, not greatly romanticized, focused on the violent hunt for Dillinger.

Michael Mann’s Public Enemies presents a lean, somber portrayal of the infamous John Dillinger and his violent manhunt. Featuring intense performances by Johnny Depp and Marion Cotillard, the film favors raw adrenaline and austere storytelling over epic action.

While Christian Bale's performance is colder and less expressive, the film's dry pace and lack of plot twists underscore the focus on myth and character rather than spectacle. Discover the gritty hunt for John Dillinger in Public Enemies—watch the intense performances and stunning visuals today!
