just rewatched Goncharov (1973) and saw something that a friend had pointed out. Every time a character dies, important or not, there is a clock in the background on exactly 12. Sometimes midnight, sometimes midday. Always 12. I love the symbolism sm!!

[enters IMGflip] [emerges 3 hours later with Goncharov (1973) and The Goncharov Trilogy book series memes] Please appreciate what I do for you with nothing more than a vague recollection from reading the books as a teenager and only recently finding out there was an entire movie made from them, apparently.

I don't think Goncharov should just be known as a "mafia film." Like, yes that's part of it. But there's so much more to it. You can juxtapose the first scene, with Andrey saying "We are rich with time" to Goncharov and the last scene, with Goncharov dying, where he tells Andrey "Time has been stolen from us." Katya's wineglass never being filled is a symbol for her general emptiness and dissatisfaction with life. Sofia wears makeup around everyone-except when she's alone with Katya. This adds to the homoerotic undertones of Sofia and Katya's interactions. Andrey looks away right before he kills Goncharov, perhaps implying he feels guilty over what he's about to do.
