so much of this feels tailor-made for me, being that I A) am essentially a Chicagoan about now B) lived in Rome C) wanted to be an architect when I was a kid and D) get worrisome ‘bout my belly

the only thing stopping me from loving this more is it feels at arm’s length with diving deeper into its ideas and favoring recurring motifs (which are also, usually my jam) over more concise or evolving plot beats

still adore so much of this. Greenaway’s framing, as beautiful as always. And this being more ‘straightforward’ as opposed to his other works feels more like him taking a step back to allow the Roman art to speak for itself

Brian Dennehy is an absolute force. ALL my homies hate Caspasian. And stress and alcohol isn’t giving me stomach cancer, my wife is just a harlot

“Good architecture should always be applauded” Words can’t describe how much I love Rome and its architecture.

Feels slightly more convential than the other two movies I've seen from Greenaway so far. This isn't necessarily a bad thing as it might make it easier to get into but I kinda liked his unique approach to filmmaking which I feel shine better through in his two previous movies. That said I actually really liked this alot and feel story wise it might be his strongest (again so far I still have alot left to watch) but it was a very interesting character study and again the music was wonderful!
