I know objectively the next part of the scene, where Sofia teaches Katya how to each a pomegranate and tells her about the mythology of Persephone and Hades and the pomegranate juice stains Katya’s suit is the more iconic part, and for good reason, but like, especially considering how feral we’ve all gotten about the resurgence of this movie this past week, I couldn’t help but dig up an old copy of the script to emphasize that last line, which I feel like we’ve definitely been skipping over in our discourse.

#goncharov #goncharov 1973 #katya x sophia #katya goncharov #the fruit vendor scene #i first watched this movie in middle school during my greek mythology phase #and let me tell you this scene had me unhinged #like #the story of persephone and hades which is canonically a rape and a loss of innocence #but here sofia is giving katya all the information she needs to make informed consent #and then also with athena looming behind them which evokes the idea of knowledge #or at least wisdom #which in and of itself evokes goncharov and andrey’s apple scene #which is also about forbidden knowledge but handled so differently #(okay but am I too late to the party?)#(did I do it did I goncharov?)
