laugh out loud funny
steeped in period charm
wonderful attention to detail
but not without a touch of poignancy
a touching tribute to the much maligned allegro
a character burning fast, quickly and bright

10/24 queer utopia
cool blue titles and wistful music
opening crawl a bit hard to decipher against the backdrop
some sort of ritualistic dance as entertainment
bukkake
Mammea Morganna looks familiar
vampiricism ?
and would you believe it
exile
cicadas
adonis
moldy fruit
gladiators
feels a bit like a living latin class
young horsey
rugged coastline
rock pool
spider
lashings
pigs
languid
horns
bugs
kata
boys will be boys
I imagine legionnaires in Beau travail…
