Tarantino is no longer the one from Pulp Fiction. He is a director who knows his craft, period. The dialogues no longer surprise, the referentiality feels stale and too often masks an underlying emptiness detectable in the film’s moral that racism is a bad thing (no kidding).

It’s a shame that in a singing street vendor there is nothing extraordinary, so the interest that an average person should have in this video clip should be equivalent to that for a silent Super 8 film depicting a math lesson. The continuous call to the American myth operated by successful tune-makers... will tend to make us forget the superstructure that sets the rules, conditioning our lives and excluding social criticism.

An awareness of the unamendability of reality would constitute... an abolition of the postmodern koinè (irony, desublimation, deobjectification). It is intellectually dishonest to blame a generation of thinkers from Nietzsche to Deleuze for the cathodic existence of Barbara d’Urso.

If I had to describe this film in three words, I would say just that: Attention to detail. Life must be understood in its totality, encompassing all existing Matter, so that we never forget that behind, or rather above, our daily occupations and concerns, we are part of a colossal, mysterious, fantastic Life.

This is not the usual album of unreleased tracks and b-sides, but more than three hours of actual songs, improvisations, and even live performances. Three and a half hours of great music and composition with its highs and lows (certainly more highs) that will still satisfy the ears of fans.

Having twelve (12!!!) beats available from an RZA at the peak of inspiration and failing to create an album that would make its mark in Rap history through the front door. Truly a wasted opportunity. Certainly for music lovers.

It’s immediately a strong contender for the worst screenplay of this newborn 2013. Everything slips into an ending that’s copy-pasted from solitary superhero films, a happy ending that’s ridiculously unintentional.
