Just finished crying about Gukesh winning, now I'm crying about Ding losingš
here it is. It was on youtube for a few years, but I think it has been taken down this year. I had downloaded it because I am insane so I am now re-uploading it on vimeo at this link https://vimeo.com/1012742172?share=copy
Unfortunately, there are no subtitles :(
I might be able to translate a good amount of it but I don't know how to make subtitles.
It's a pretty bad movie in my opinion. It follows Rümelin's autobiography very loosely and the actors are... not great. Costumes are shit, haircuts are debatable. And yeah, that's kind of it. I do not understand how this got to the Festival di Venezia I think it's a bit ehhh you know what I mean. I don't like it. I really don't. It's a good movie to watch while stoned out of your mind cause the actors have a very strange line delivery.
Here is also the soundtrack. Yes, I have this downloaded too. :)
Also, I literally just found out that the actress playing Aurora, Francesca De Sapio, was in the Padrino II.
Anyway, Sacher-Masoch fandom, watch party when???
On another note, if you want another Sacher-Masoch related media coming from Italy look no further than Crepax's Venus in Furs. This one is actually very nice, and you can also find it in English. Unfortunately, I can't find it any more online T_T. I had a link to it but now it's dead. If I can find a physical copy I'll scan it and upload it somewhere 'cause it really is a shame :(. Here are some of the pictures I can find online to give you an idea. It's very nice and it's a very short read.
And also the Intervista Impossibile by Oreste del Buono is fantastic. https://www.raiplaysound.it/audio/2020/09/Le-interviste-impossibili--Oreste-Del-Buono-incontra-Leopold-Von-Sacher-Masoch-f7dd930b-3d68-47cd-95ad-9c73bec45638.html
Me trying to explain my interests to my friends be like:
sometimes a family is a you, a feral ballerina with 6 limbs, and a brain damaged man with a lot of trauma but a very optimistic attitude
The way Chateau de Lacoste is basically Äachtice castle

Never thought the first swear word I learn in italian would be thanks to the pope this is so funny

I chose the on repeat playlist because I don't really make playlists.
