 Every album is improvised, both in the studio and live, and this is the main characteristic of the quartet.

 If after listening to this track you are not convinced that the four Norwegians are formidable musicians and improvisers, I do not know what else to say.

 The result is rather modest, resulting in an overall musical jam with the voice of Battiato, now monotone, as the guiding thread, far from his best times.

 In attempting to preserve its best [PFM's 'Impressioni di Settembre'] has produced a poor copy.

Fleurs 3, the third installment of Franco Battiato's Fleur trilogy, offers a collection of hit covers with one new duet track. While commercially successful, musically it falls short, lacking the passion of original versions. Some tracks fail to captivate, though a few moments like the Alice duet and Gino Paoli's 'Il cielo in una stanza' stand out. The album concludes with a German recital, adding a unique but limited novelty. Overall, it’s a modest and uninspired pop project. Explore Franco Battiato’s Fleurs 3 to decide if this pop reissue resonates with you or discover the original masterpieces behind the covers.

 The beauty of Cinema lies in the power to make every story, every idea, real and tangible, but it’s the HOW that makes the difference.

 It’s not just a great film (in my opinion the best) film about Star Wars, but it’s above all an excellent science fiction movie that winks at the most attentive fan.

Xavier Dolan’s È solo la fine del mondo ambitiously tackles the breakdown of family communication as a terminally ill man returns to his family. While the direction and theatrical style are strong, the writing and character development lack freshness compared to Dolan’s earlier works. Unexpected musical choices and an overemphasis on pathos somewhat undermine the film’s impact. Overall, a thoughtful but imperfect addition to Dolan’s filmography. Discover the ambitious family drama by Xavier Dolan—read the full review and explore the film’s rich yet flawed layers.
