Edit: Unbeknownst to me, Blorptube is apparently “migrating” again. Depending on how long it takes for this stuff to get sorted, we might end up only watching the first part or might have to push this watch party for another night.
The total runtime is about two-and-a-half hours, split into two parts. There are two official YouTube uploads of the film — one which splits the two parts into different videos, and one which stitches them together into one video. I figure it’s probably best to go for the two-video upload so we can stretch our legs and take a leak at the intermission.
Plot description from IMDb: ASSA is set in Crimea during the winter in 1980. A young musician (Bananan) falls for a mobster’s (Krymov) young mistress (Alika). The parallel story line involves a 19th Century assassination plot.
I can also mention that this movie has a lot of musical numbers and experimental scenes, and is often looked at as a turning point for perestroika and rock music’s position in Soviet popular culture.
Content warnings for I guess age gap romance, there’s some very brief man ass in one scene, there’s murder and other violence, “moderate profanity”, and “mild alcohol, drugs & smoking”.


Why exactly?
New host.
So it’s not another domain name change, it’s just moving the actual server infrastructure to somewhere else, right?
yeah, same domain name should work, we’ll be back shortly. Sorry about this.
It’s ok, thanks for the update
Alright, thanks for the explanation, I was thinking it was maybe another domain name change, which would’ve been a little mendoi.
