Follemente

From the talented author of the brilliant "Perfetti sconosciuti", an enjoyable and amusing comedy supported by a great cast. The director claimed that he thought about the idea and subject of the movie way before Disney Pixar's "Inside Out". Mark: 7.5 / 10

Nosferatu (2024)

A good cast, a decent technical depiction, some interesting philological hints, but zero pace, zero rhythm, zero energy, zero empathy. Sorry to say that, but I found this adaption completely useless. Mark: 5 / 10

Aichaku (愛着)

A sort of Japanese version of the outstanding British movie "Weekend", this delicate portrayal of integration and gay love constantly misses the (many) points, resulting way too superficial to be appreciated. Mark: 5 / 10

Becoming Madonna

Spanning from the dawning to the publication of "Sex", it's in my opinion a very interesting documentary depicting the early years of the one and only queen of pop. Useless to say, a must see for every Madonna fan (like myself). Mark: 8 / 10

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice

More than three decades after the first chapter, this second instalment of the Beetlejuice franchise is undoubtedly watchable, but it deeply lacks sense of rhythm and that sort of sparkle and originality that were the trademarks of the first movie. Good cast, though, with a mention for the fantastic Catherine O'Hara. Mark: 6 / 10

A Complete Unknown

Nice biopic about a very young Bob Dylan, but it lacks depth and doesn't give a clear idea of too many topics related to the great songwriter and musician. Good cast. Mark: 7 / 10

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire

An explosion of titans, monsters, new breeds of gorillas and much more in this chaotic latest rendition of the Godzilla and Kong franchise: a perfect choice if you want to switch off your synapses. Mark: 5 / 10
