I actually unironically love Goncharov for the content the meme has created. I love the motifs of contrast, art nouveau, simple, stark images often intentionally lacking in background like a half remembered dream- only the most important and necessary parts remain. No one knows what happened, but the idea of the cyclical nature of violence played out through the story of the fictionalized russian mafias holdout in naples creates such interesting vibes. Everyone can see their favorite classics in Goncharov, I like to view it almost as following the rough beats of the story of Macbeth, but my reading is also colored by things like Fight Club and House of Leaves. Idk the whole thing just bleeds this love of film, of aesthetics, we took this movie noone saw and said "this is the movie we would like to see, here is how it looks, isn't it beautiful? isnt it tragic?"
I hope everyone who makes Goncharov posters, "screenshot redraws", edits, music, fanfiction(original fiction?) and fanart finds good work in this industry one day because all of you deserve it. You all are casting shadows of a thousand beautiful films, comics, novels, and television shows against the wall and I want so desperately to see the real thing
