My peace is gone,

my heart is sore,

I'll find it never

and nevermore.

Without him here

my grave is near,

my world around

is sadness bound.

My sorry head

is all forlorn,

my sorry soul

to pieces torn.

My peace is gone,

my heart is sore,

I'll find it never

and nevermore.

It's only him

I'm looking for,

for him alone

I tend my door.

His lofty walk,

his noble sight,

his smiling face,

his glance's might,

and his expressions'

magic bliss,

his touch of hand

and, oh, his kiss!

My peace is gone,

my heart is sore,

I'll find it never

and nevermore.

My bosom presses

toward his skin;

oh, may I hold him

and draw him in

and may I kiss him

as wants my heart,

under his kisses

to fall apart!

'Russian Ark' – A stroll through history on Kino Film Collection and free on Kanopy and Hoopla

Russian Ark (Russia, 2002), Alexander Sokurov’s tribute to the Hermitage Museum through time and space, is worth celebrating for its technical achievement alone. In a single, unbroken shot lasting over 90 minutes, the viewer is swept not just through the breadth of the physical space but through hundreds of years of Russian history as we travel through the Russian State Hermitage Museum of Saint…

russian ark [2002]

What kind of play is this? Let's hope it's not a tragedy

estão interessados na beleza? ou apenas em sua representação?

Русский ковчег

everyone can see the future, but no one remembers the past

humans can be museums too,

filled with history they can no longer touch

in any case, it's too late to interfere

everything has already happened

"We are too late for the present, too early for the future."

21 years ago Alexander Sokurov's haunting masterpiece 'Russian Ark' was released.

Alexander Sokurov's Fairytale (2022)

[shipcestuous]

Apparently Alexander Sokurov's Father and Son (a 2003 Russian movie) tells the story of a father-son relationship with strong incestual subtext and they seem to be an implied endgame // Note: the son has a girlfriend, who's jealous of his relationship with his father and at the end she breaks up with him.

A very rare find!

This was on my father/son masterlist already but I could find no post about it. It's great to get more info. Father/Son fans have hit a bonanza.

A father and his son live together in a roof-top apartment. They have lived alone for years in their own private world, full of memories and daily rites. Sometimes they seem like brothers. Sometimes even like lovers. Following in his father's path, Aleksei attends military school. He likes sports, tends to be irresponsible and has problems with his girlfriend. She is jealous of Aleksei's close relationship with his father. Despite knowing that all sons must one day live their own lives, Aleksei is conflicted; his father knows he should accept a better job in another city, perhaps search for a new wife, but who will ease the pain of Aleksei's nightmares?

Thanks, Anon!
