[labyrinth-archive]

no man has contributed more to cinema than ryan gosling when he discovered his kenergy for barbie (2023) or martin scorsese when he directed goncharov (1973).

you look like this character from zepotha this, you look like my blorbo in zepotha that. okay but which character from goncharov is the person you reblogged this from?

[henreyettah]

The fact that I still haven’t seen a single person even mention the hallway scene… like yes they didn’t speak but they didn’t HAVE TO, THEY BOTH UNDERSTOOD WORDLESSLY THAT THERE WAS NO OTHER OPTION BUT FOR THEM TO PART WAYS. The tension between them, and Goncharov reaching out to meet Andrey’s hand, neither of them looking at the other??? Breathing each others SMOKE?? Such an underrated scene, im so sad this moment gets overlooked :(

"Was there ever really a flame?"

I think a lot about this scene because I really do think Katya loves Goncharov, but its so much more complicated than a love story tied up in a bow.

Guys, guys, guys.

I know everyone here is discussing the homoerotic tension subtext square polycule whatever you call it between Goncharov, Andrey, Katya and Sofia and I GET IT.

But are we going to just ignore the aroace icon that is Valery Michailov???

First off, he is the only character without a possible love interest. The guy spends the whole movie trying to convince his sister Katya to leave first Goncharov and then Sofia and go back to Russia and he makes it clear that he is not there for any romantic bullshit.

The way he doesn't realize that he has just interrupted the scene with the highest level of homoerotic tension in the whole interest of cinema when he bursts into the bathhouse and finds Goncharov and Andrej staring at each other in towels and talking about nothing (I mean, come on that was obvious even to me)

There is a whole ass conversation between him and Katya about how he considers familial love to be more important than romantic love when he reminds her that "you only have one mother, one father, one brother, but you could trace a path from Naples to our childhood house in Moscow with the blood of all the men who'll tell you they love you."

Bro, the way he showed up to the mafia gala ALONE rather than inviting Ice Pick Joe's cousin like he had suggested even if that would have guaranteed him Ice Pick Joe's help with his plan.

EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER tries to seduce him at one point or the other to get information out of him or manipulate him while he doesn't even bat an eye. Like, the way he doesn't even realize Andrej's flirting with him at the gala! He is totally clueless!!! (yes, I know Andrej was only trying to get a reaction out of Goncharov, that's not the point).

This is just the stuff out the top of my mind. If anyone has anything to add, feel free to contribute.

You’ve got to love something enough to kill it.

- Martin Scorsese on directing Goncharov (1973)

Scorsese’s little seen mafia movie, Goncharov, was by all accounts a troubling film shoot on location in Naples. Studio interference and edit demands in post-production meant the film didn’t receive the public acclaim that Scorsese’s other mafia themed movies have had. Yet many critics agree that Goncharov laid the filmic foundation for those films that came after in Scorsese’s great body of work. Recently, Criterion Collection released a re-mastered director’s cut of the film.
