GONCHAROV (1973) dir. Martin Scorsese

“It funny because for many years people thought Goncharov was the main antagonist of the film, after all, he’s the one everyone’s out to get, right? But it seems people are starting to understand that in actual fact, it is time that is the main adversary in this story. There’s never enough of it and that torments a lot of characters, especially Goncharov, because he’s fighting so desperately to find his place in a world that is so keen on keeping him ostracized.”

the trouble is, you think you have time.

If I die today, could you be the one to kill me?

"Этот город подобен удавке, затягивающейся вокруг моей шеи, и лишь ты, ты одна еще способна удержать меня здесь. Но время наше на исходе. Полночь. Я буду ждать тебя. Торопись, моя единственная отрада, моя Катя."

“This city is like a noose tightening around my neck, and only you, you alone are still capable of keeping me here. But our time is running out. Midnight. I will be waiting for you. Hurry, my only joy, my Katya.”
