Just caught this tonight at the Brattle. Behind 8 1/2, easily the most visually striking film I’ve ever seen. Filmed in Zagreb; strange contrast between Brutalist Eastern European cityscapes and baroque cathedrals/palaces/ministry buildings. Claustrophobia/agoraphobia at the same time. Lack of a traditional narrative, more of a sensual experience. adfjadsfkjafkjafaka too much to deconstruct right now.

Razbliuto, n.: The sentimental feeling you have about someone you once loved but no longer do.
Razlyubit, v. (Russian): To unfall in love
Seems that “razbliuto” is a malaprop neologism, a participial bastard child of the Russian razlyubit, “to stop loving, not love any more” and the extremely common swear word blyad, ”whore”. Coarse, yes, and etymologically suspect, but a good word also.
A line from Neruda: I no longer love her, that’s certain, but maybe I love her.
my room — a container for thought
Why? — Simeon’s Dilemma

I’ve played this piece for more than one bedfellow and not a single one has responded positively. A reflection of my taste, for sure, but in music or in women?
