One side character is named Mario Ambrosini. He is described as a βsad boiβ and is involved in gambling.Β
Set in Naples and involving a drug ring/mafia. The plot seems to involve Russian organized crime attempting to get a foothold in Italy.Β

heavy clock symbolism. A pivotal scene occurs at a clock tower, there is a grandfather clock in the background of some sets, etcΒ
A supporting female character named Sofia makes an appearance, wearing a cocktail dress. Katya protects her at some point. Theyβre both in the Boat Scene. At one point they buy fruit together in a marketplace. This is lesbian shipping fuel.Β
The villain, likely Mario, has a sidekick named Icepick Joe. Joe commits a final act of heroism before being left for deadβ after being killed by an Icepick. Perhaps he turned against Mario and was killed in retaliation?
Goncharov, played by DeNiro, has a very distinctive manner of walking.Β
Katyaβs brother, Valery, makes an appearance.Β
from posts Iβve witnessed (only mentioning things Iβve seen >5 blogs post about) - there is an Anchovies scene, and fish symbolism also plays a heavy role. at some point Katya is seen near a fish bowl full of goldfish, and this is important to the Boat Scene as well. - Goncharov and Andrey have homoerotic tension, and this is used to further statements about the cycle of repression and violence
The story involves Goncharov losing himself in a downward spiral.Β It is a tragedy of unbecoming.
Thereβs a Bridge Scene. This is the one with the clocktower chiming in the background.

Katya betrays Goncharov AND Sofia. Sheβs well-intentioned, but it all comes crashing down, ending in her losing them bothβ losing Sofia emotionally and inadvertently causing Goncharovβs death
Thereβs a shootout in Pompeii in which Mario destroys historically significant architecture. This is representative of the destructive nature of nationalism.
