08:05-10:45 Ilya liked the sad, sad soup-eating scene
10:45-12:00 The movie goes in some weird, unexpected directions
12:00-12:35 Especially compared to Double Indemnity

21:25-22:10 Basil thinks Giovanna’s a metaphor for Mussolini and Gino’s not much better
22:10-22:20 Patrick thinks the characters are cynical
22:20-23:20 Patrick and Reuben bring back the Warped Ones

37:25-38:50 Visconti is most enjoyable within a political context (so is his name)
38:50-39:50 Same with Jafar Panahi
