#Aurora Rümelin

[severin-photocopy]

the song is an Italian meme

translation:

sad to think that us

us two will never be anything

how much silence on the roofs between a thousand discussions

and your coke light

I never told you[...]

yes that is my actual room

this is referencing an anecdote from Wanda von Sacher-Masoch aka Angelika Aurora Rümelin aka Sacher-Masoch's first wife. She describes how Sacher-Masoch starts a correspondence with another man inspired by his own novel "The Love of Plato". They meet in a hotel one night and other shenanigans happen (meeting at the opera and other stuff). In the end this friendship/situationship/I-don't-know either-ship doesn't end well, the end also apparently includes a strange fanfiction but a few years later Sacher-Masoch and Rümelin spot a picture in a newspaper. The article is about the mysterious death of Ludwig II of Bayern. They recognize him as the admirer.

This is obviously something that you should take with a mountain of salt since it has been said multiple times that Rümelin's biography is very sensational and stuff. Tho it is very funny.

I'm going insane.

I am still reading Aurora von Rümelin's biography because I am a slow reader and she just described how Sacher-Masoch wanted to get one of his teeth removed because it was aching. So he asks her to stay in front of him during the operation wearing a fur coat and looking all cruel. because obviously he does. and it turns out the tooth was actually healthy and he just goes "eeh fine, best orgasm of my life, anyways..."

I can't stop laughing I'm dying, I don't know how real this actually is but it's absurd and I love it. From Rümelin's biography Sacher-Masoch seems like a parody of himself but at the same time it's just so vaguely plausible it drives me mad.

proof under the cut cause I am going insane and can't believe I've read these words with my own two eyes

I'm sorry it's in Italian but google translate should be able to detect the text and translate it

Masoch 1980 (movie)

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
