[enters IMGflip] [emerges 3 hours later with Goncharov (1973) and The Goncharov Trilogy book series memes] Please appreciate what I do for you with nothing more than a vague recollection from reading the books as a teenager and only recently finding out there was an entire movie made from them, apparently.

I'm loving all the articles about Goncharov in honor of the film's 50th anniversary but I have to say the way so many reviews fixate on Katya's appearance and wardrobe feels a bit reductive.

Yes she's very beautiful. Yes her looks and iconic white dress are important to the contextualization, arc and symbolism of her character. But the same can be said of Andrey or of Goncharov himself. And you don't see the same hyperfocus on their looks in the anniversary retrospectives and reviews coming out today. Feels a bit gendered to me...
