As in many of Vonnegut’s novels, the plot was absurd and irrelevant. You could tear all the pages out and put them back together at random without compromising your reading experience. What I liked most about Breakfast of Champions was this: unlike most books, it didn’t assume that the reader knew everything about human beings, their habits, and the planet they inhabited.

The film is like a chocolate egg: sweet and satisfying enough to distract you from the fact that it is completely empty inside. "Yesterday" suggests that we might not be equipped to recognize pure genius, especially when it hasn’t been pre-packaged as such by a corporate giant.

Danny Boyle's Yesterday imagines a world without the Beatles, focusing on an aspiring musician who gains fame by claiming their songs. The film offers a humorous and relatable depiction of independent artists but falters with a predictable love story and an underdeveloped message. Ed Sheeran’s cameo pleasantly surprises by being unobtrusive. Overall, a sweet but somewhat empty movie reflecting on the commercial nature of the music industry.

Sono manages it in his own way, with the emphasis that distinguishes him and alternating pure madness with a directorial virtuosity of which he is the supreme master but not subject. At the end of the race, only the predators most blinded by the pain of broken love and their chosen victims remain alive, who, seduced and deceived by their master’s mirage, have found the perdition they deserve.

It’s a record very much a child of the ’70s. But with sprinkles of country, a falsetto that pairs well with Bon Iver, and a warm and enveloping horn section that feels like the first sweater after summer. 10 tracks for about half an hour of music. Short songs without choruses repeated until death. They say what they have to say and then move on to the next track. Like music should do.

Myrath partially destroyed the perfect mix they had created to immediately propose something very light and accessible. The latest Myrath seems really like a sort of neo-melodic Arab music with just some distorted guitars in the background, not really the oriental metal they would like us to believe.
