Goncharov (1973)
"I would say it was time well spent if the last I ever saw was you."
-Goncharov to Andrey Daddano, from the movie Goncharov (1973).
Little fanart I did of this incredible movie, go watch it!!
Goncharov Lore (“Gonchlore” if you will) Masterpost
BUZZFEED DO NOT MINE THIS POST FOR CONTENT. THIS IS A TUMBLR PHENOMENON *ONLY*
Note: this is regarding the lore made up by tumblr collaboratively about a fake Martin Scorsese film. See the post that started it all and fake poster.
Goncharov was released in 1973. It was written by Matteo JWHJ 0715 and directed (?) and/or possibly co-written by Martin Scorsese. Scorsese’s big name helped popularize the film, but as a result JWHJ 0715’s significant contribution is often overlooked
Goncharov was forgotten and was actually difficult to acquire for many years. This may have been due to corporations hoarding rights and access, the actually mafia targeting distribution of the film, other factors, or a combination of these. This led to pirating of the film, which allegedly led to pirating discourse surrounding the film
There are talks of a Goncharov II or remake
Goncharov is a mafia boss in Naples of Russian origin. His wife/fiancée is named Katya, also of Russian origin. Goncharov may or may not have fled Russia, and may or may not have been pursued by someone trying to get him back to Russia, possibly to face legal justice. One such person trying to do this could be Valery Michailov
Valery Michailov is Katya’s sister. He may resent Goncharov due to his relationship with his sister and due to Goncharov being wanted by the Russian government. He is somewhat patriotic, possibly a former government worker or soldier.
Katya’s last name is either Michailova or Goncharova (although possibly with the wrong suffix). Her relationship with Goncharov is strained, tense, and possibly loveless. She ends up betraying him in the end. This is often seen as a subversion on the typical tropes for women in mafia movies.
At some point, Katya is on a bridge with Goncharov. At some point, Katya points a gun at Goncharov. At some point, Katya is injured on a boat/in a boathouse.
Katya is amicable with someone named Sofia, who has brown hair. She also has subtextual homoerotic tension with her
Sofia may be working class/poorer than many of the other characters are.
Goncharov has subtextual homoerotic tension with someone named Andrey. Andrey is Goncharov’s old friend/best friend/nemesis/enemy/competitor. There is at least one instance of one of them trying to kill the other.
Ice pick Joe is played by John Cazale, making this his 6th movie. He has a famous 10 minute scene with Katya, and at some point dies, also possibly at the hands of Katya.
Mario Ambrosini works with Goncharov, possibly as a lackey or number two. At some point in the middle of the story, he betrays Goncharov and Goncharov tells him that he “never wants to see [Mario] again”. It is unclear what happens to him after that. Mario also has a relationship with Andrey that some have described as “fascinating”. It is unclear how.
There is a clock motif in Goncharov, and a general theme regarding “running out of time” before death. There are a few characters who seem at the very least subconsciously aware of the fact that they have little time until their death. The film also deals with the theme of fate, of death and tragedy being and inevitable thing for these characters.
Goncharov dies at the end of the movie, due to someone’s betrayal.
Goncharov (1973) was heavily influenced by the American Cold War propaganda of the time. Some argue that it plays right into the stereotypes of Russians, others say it is a clever subversion of the propaganda and stereotypes of the time.
Feel free to add more/expand/add alternative information!
You see it, don’t you?
You’ve become a monster too.
what if that one iconic backstory scene in goncharov (1973) after he makes his first kill but as a movie poster
The rumours are true. Well, the good ones are, anyway. Netflix is delighted and thrilled that so many of you, all over the world, have been watching and loving Sandman, which means that the thing we were all hoping would happen...? Well, it's happened...

soft boy(d)
the corinthian is THE character ever. motherfucker has sauce for days. he’s a nightmare personified chilling on earth. he drives a convertible. he eats eyeballs but he doesn’t even do it with the teeth he has in place of his eyes. he charms everyone he meets. he’s a keynote speaker at a serial killer convention. he was even gay.
Love how the Corinthian's traits are
serial killer
sharp fashion sense
good with kids
Gay™
killer music taste
escaped his enclosure just to be gay do crimes for 100+ slutty, slutty years
Call Morpheus a tumblr sexyman all you want but the Corinthian embodies the concept
Can we talk about the Corinthian’s customer service smile?
That perfectly bland, polite one that you can tell doesn’t reach his eyes, when you can’t even see his eyes. (how tf does he do that?)
He deploys it when he has to interact with people and charm them a little (Carl, the Collectors, Hal, etc). But then, if he begins to find them interesting, the smile morphs into something open-mouthed and horrifying and devouring.
It’s such a good performance, especially considering that we only really get to see the bottom half of his face.

The Sandman + Onion Headlines [P.3]
I don't know the details of decision making in production of The Sandman on Netflix, obviously, but it feels like some of these good changes were like...
'Hey maybe now that Constantine's ex girlfriend is a queer Black woman, she shouldn't also be a thief and an addict. Let's not fall into that stereotype.'
'And maybe the nonbinary Desire could get, like, quasi-dream-consent from Unity Kinkaid instead of just flat out raping her in her sleep...especially now that Unity is a Black woman. Actually, wouldn't Desire want Unity to...desire...them before fathering the child anyway.'
'And what if The Corinthian fucks a guy and doesn't kill him because, like, maybe let's separate his queerness from the fact that he's a nightmare & serial killer.'
Some folks might claim these kinds of changes are 'sanitizing' the story...and maybe so. But really, it feels like adjusting some of the 'edgy' 'grimdark' remnants from it's 90s origin.
