satyricon is fucking sublime but it’s definitely not “entertainment”. you have to really pay attention to get transported. it’s mostly a visual thing in red earths and azures. i can’t recall all of the whole story— and that’s fine. it’ not a novel like the book, but a hallucination.

reminds me somewhat of salò, which i had to really work through. though satyricon was hilarious where salò was dark as fuck and so hard to look at. but both were “work.”

caligula on the other hand is good trashy fun. i’ll watch it with a pitcher of sangía and a bag of spicy chicharrones, and won’t feel tired at the end. totally more enjoyable in that sense.

ETA: my wife, who is really a visual person, used to own the satyricon vhs and watch it all the time like a pocorn movie. on the other hand she hates “talky” flicks, with only a few exceptions.
