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
Oh my god Fico. How is it even possible to be this cringe? Like sure meeting Putin was cringe but it mainly made me angry, but the whole Elon thing... just full body cringe. Like I don't want to be associated with Fico's actions just because he rules slovakia noooo
But what I hate most about the current political situation is the worsening relationship with Czechia. Like I can't blame the czechs for thinking slovaks are awful and not wanting to be as warm right now but oh god even just the idea of the relationship getting the slightest bit worse terrifies me to no end. Like not all of us are bad!
Masoch took the phrase "ashes to ashes and dust to dust" a bit too literally
PDA already kicked in and it's making me have to hold back tears in some classes.
Salò or the 120 Days of Sodom directed by Wes Anderson
As far as our wide wonderful world goes, you are... you are... hmm, how do I say it nicely? I assume it is not exactly possible to put such thing nicely. Let's get to the point, you are dead. Morti, kaputt, et cetera et cetera. Capisci?
Geological horror. You find a geode and crack it open and the crystal lining its walls is human blood that can't be genetically matched to anyone. You find a human skeleton but every one of the bones is made from rock, a rock that you know can't be whittled into those shapes. You find layers of clay and loam that sport ancient fossils at the top and the still-rotting corpses of modern animals at the bottom.
If you see me make another meme or something this month tell me to fuck off and do my schoolwork
