All right, so I watched the first minute and I was thoroughly disgusted. Mostly because I could feel the moment I saw the bugs that: "Oh, dear. Those bugs are in a basket where a head is gonna fall, isn't it?" And, oh, how good I am. Déjà-vu? I saw that view in a past life? I actually feared we would see the gory head falling.
This is just gross. Scoring right next to all the equally gross images of the Terror/guillotine I've seen, such as the opening image of a dead dog half-eaten by worms (with a zoom in) in Jacquot's Sade. Are they forced to be terribly macabre, Gothic and Sadean in their filmmaking? What, exactly, has gone so terribly wrong with our period? UGHHHH. I wish neoclassicism could still exist. And I don't care neoclassicism is propaganda. Schama can go fuck himself somewhere, with Gueniffey. Le Beau et le Sublime!
When are they going to censor the guillotine? Thermidorian imagery is pissing me off.
