What we know about Goncharov so far:
PRODUCED by Scorsese, but DIRECTED by Matteo JWHJ 0715, get it right.
Robert De Niro, Al Pacino star, along with Cybill Shepherd. Released in 1973.
About Soviets in Naples dealing with the mob. Greatest mafia movie ever made, natch.
Ice Pick Joe is under rated.
Homoeroticism between Goncharov and Andrey is extremely popular in the modern day, bordering on explicit text and desire even through their rivalry and sublimated competing for Katya.
Katya is underused in the movie, and is a complicated character who is both the femme fatale, the center of a love triangle between Goncharov and Andrey, Goncharov’s wife, and also manipulating everyone.
There’s also a scene where Katya kisses Sofia? Tumblr lesbians go crazy.
Had political undertones and commentary, possibly about the failures of the Soviet Union, or leftist ideology vs. realpolitik.
Is over three hours long and kinda slow at times. Violent. Not as easy to watch as the memes and shipping would have you believe.
However conversely film bros who reduce to a badass gangster movie are missing so so much.
Has clock symbolism. Themes of how the characters are trapped in cycles of violence, revenge, hubris, tragedy. Lots of Catholic imagery.
Snubbed at awards, lack of official releases has turned it into a bit of lost media, despite how influential it was.
There have been talks of sequels/remakes through the years but nothing has ever come of it.

(we had a chat about Vet!Halsin, who walks around with little birds under his hair and can carry a mastiff like it's nothing)
Never have I been exactly worried about the whole ‘sites share your data and invasion of privacy’ thing, but I do have to say it’s a bit weird when tumblr gives you an ad that has the exact things that are currently in your like-list.
And no, I didn’t crop it weird. That is the ad that it showed me.
ever wonder how they fit in the coffin bc I do
This has no importance but I want to get this down, metaphorically, on paper to understand my feelings:
Okay, so my parents will be at a festival when my prom is, meaning they’re unable to take me, which I get. But my dad’s annoyed that he can’t take me and I genuinely don’t know why; he’s trying to figure out a way for someone to take me in our campervan, but it really doesn’t matter to me. Like, I don’t care if I go in a normal car - that isn’t the issue. It’s more that they were also on holiday when I started my final exams, so I had to take care of the house, our dogs, and myself, all while doing the things that will determine my future. Again, I get it, there was a mix-up with dates and that’s fine. What annoys me, is that they act like I’m completely helpless by myself even though I’ve done this kind of thing before. For the last three years, in fact, so there’s blatant proof that I can handle this. I don’t need their help, I don’t know if it’s the daddy-issues talking or the mommy-issues, but something’s talking! If they let me take care of it, like I have most others things that I’m involved in, then it’d be fine, but them acting like I have no other choice apart from relying on them really gets on my nerves. Anyway, rant over, I’m gonna keep knitting.
WHO, WHO IS THIS KID, AND WHY IS HE SO COOL?
