Tempus Fugit - "Clock Theme" from Martin Scorsese's Goncharov (1973) dir. Matteo JWHJ0715 

I don't like a lot of Scorsese films but this one is it and it's primarily the score that makes it better. Truly a masterpiece

I love this movie! The soundtrack is truly fantastic ☺️

i'm still so mad the score was snubbed at the oscars

I've been listening to the soundtrack on repeat for days while I do homework but this piece is so tense and beautiful that I have to stop reading and just listen to it with my eyes closed every time lol

been looking for this everywhere!! easily one of my favorite tracks

This playing during the alleyway scene,,,, I was on the edge of my heart

I know youtube copyright rules are strict but I wish we could upload the original london philharmonia recording with rattle conducting :(

Holy shit I've been looking for this for years thanks for uploading it!

In fact one of the best movies

Just watched it with my gf, this film was both spectacular and nerve racking… specially with the damn boat scene…

Verify your clocks

I watched it last night, but I honestly didn't like it that much. The symbolism was well thought out, all right, but the story is nothing special. I thought it was gay, reading all the posts on tumblr, but all I found was just subtext. Disappointed.

I love when “the lanterns go out” track plays at 0:42 to harken back to the first scene we see andrey in

I can see him loading gun. The betrayal trail in his eyes, the heartbreak in his chest. The clock ticks for us all Goncharov.

This theme always brought me such anxiety, especially during Katya’s boat scene. She was my favourite character and I was so scared that her time had finally run out.

I showed it to my dad and he got so emotional because we don't have the VHS anymore and it was one of his faves Thank u for uploading it!!!

the fact the score wasn't nominated for an oscar is one of the biggest snubs in the history of the music industry and the film industry

I especially liked how they incorporated a slower version of the clock leitmotif in the theme that plays during Goncharov's death scene, like, it's so subtle but so powerful!

Brilliant, I also loved the MIDI rendition of this theme that played in Goncharov for PS1 although that was famously the most frustrating level

This movie is truly an emotional rollercoaster. The boat scene with Katya is one of those moments in film that you never forget. There are just so many moments that make this a cinematic masterpiece. Andrey’s betrayal stands as another scene that took my breath away. I love how the soundtrack really ties into the themes of betrayal and the clock symbolism that permeate throughout the movie.

It's really devastating that JWHJ0715 died so young, because he had remarkable directorial skill, and the way this music brings me right into the scene as if I'm watching it all over again is a testament to the composer's skill. The tension in that drumbeat, the call & response of the winds, the way the strings bring it all together... It's a gorgeous motif.

Classic, i love the scene where Goncharov told (SPOILER) that he will kill him and then kill him again with this music in the background.

Greatest movie ever made with the greatest soundtrack

"The trouble is... you think you have time." No matter how many times I see it that line and this bit of the score just give me chills.

The fact that the song is titled “Tempus fugit” - or “he flees time”. All throughout the film Goncharov spends his time desperate to stop the passage of time, to stop the inevitable from happening, but ultimately he is powerless in doing so. He can only flee time, become a fugitive to it (hence the word for flee being fugit), he can never escape it. However, they did decline tempus incorrectly, which should be temporem since it does serve as the direct object.

I'd appreciate it if you could find the music that plays when I've Pick Joe dies on the church steps. It was such a beautiful scene and I'd love to hear it properly again

goncharov is such a dilf i loved the red coat scene. sorry not sorry

Siempre creía que esta película era perdida … me encantaba encontrar el tema aquí. Saludos 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽

Oh my gosh! Thank you for uploading this! I always had such an emotional response to hearing this part of the soundtrack in particular. It’s been years since I watched Goncharov (PLEASE release it on DVD or digitally already!) so I might be wrong but isn’t this the point where we see the unnamed girl with the teddy bear in the background, for the second time? The fact that the film never draws attention to her, right until the end where she gets caught in the crossfire, really speak to this movie’s subtlety and trust in its audience. The movie makes it very clear that all the main characters are doomed because they are trapped by both the situation and their own inability to walk away. However, the girl with the teddy is a reminder that it’s not just them they are hurting. Everyone they get close to is in danger but even innocent bystanders are dying because of them

This movie is truly a masterpiece

this scene literally used to scare tf out of me, my dad showed me this movie when I was wayy too young to watch it

I must say,Matteo JWHJ0715 did a great job with this movie Does anyone know any other movies or shows he worked on?

They should release the entire soundtrack for the 50th anniversary next year

I remember my grandfather dug this out of an old box one day when i was still a kid. this scene has been burned into my memory ever since, especially the light filtering through the gunsmoke. I didn't make the connection that it was a symbolic reflection of the watchman's pipe smoke until years later

"Death always catches up to you. Later... or sooner." One of the greatest death scenes of all time. If you've seen the movie, you know.

Really brings Bernard Herrmann to shame.

amazing lining with the overall theme of time, running out of it as you become a stranger to yourself, which is about Goncharov's whole arc throughout the movie. And at the end where he gets shot, time finally stops as we see the clock stop striking, therefore establishing Katya's final beginning of the rest of her life as she can now reconnect with herself. amazing movie, amazing soundtrack

It's amazing how lost media like this can be recovered. Maybe I'm old fashioned but this will always be my favourite film. Shame about the censorship in the remake

"Time's up, Goncharov"

This movie was a masterpiece!! The clock symbolism through the whole film and in every song made me anxious, I knew their time was running out

“Enough is enough Goncharov, time’s over!” “And it’s too late for you as well” Chills

This scene was so intense, I'm glad now more people are hearing about this film. Goncharov, 2001: A Space Odyssey, and Morbius, my top 3 favorite films ever.

Dude. This was incredible. Katya's boat scene was my favorite part and this music during it....absolute gold.

Man it sure was crazy when the big labowski showed up and 360 noscoped andrey at the clock tower. Scorsese truly is a visonary

I'm glad to see people are gaslighting the Internet in concert like this.

Never understood myself why alot of people forgive Andrey in this film, he was the reason rabali died in the cafe scene, he Ultimately was the reason goncharov destroyed himself for revenge

Aaahhh the soundtrack is so good!!!

Actually breathtaking

I loved when he said “it’s goncharovin time” and goncharoved all over the place

Oh, I love this movie

My dog apparently likes listening to this

"No matter how you try to stall for time, stretch it like an elastic band... Elastics eventually snap."

Fun Fuct: this is director Alan Smithee's favorite movie, but he didn't admit it for a very long time because of his quarrel with Scorsese over scandalous scenario of unreleased "Two faces of John Doe" back in 70's.

im going to be honest, this movie just wasn’t it for me. While i can appreciate cinematography and symbolism (the movie did amazing with the clock imagery i stan that but) the rest of the content is dull and half explored. they introduce so many potentially interesting character dynamics but since the characters are so underdeveloped everything ends hp falling flat. The driving force of this movie is it’s internal conflicts, so what happens when the characters are so vague and convoluted that you can hardly see the motive for any character and thus point of the movie? The only part where we arguably see people act past their established base personality is when Katya runs towards Goncharov during the clock scene. During the whole story it is clear that Katya is apathetic -maybe even loathes goncharov but in this scene we see her desperately running up the clock tower. The previously “docile” character is holding a gun and looks determined and concerned, until it is clear that Gonccharov was the one that fired the shot (and he wasn’t the one getting injured). Katya is shown wiping off her expression in a way that can’t be explained by bad writing.

I find it hard to appreciate this. It sounds cliche now, like how Seinfeld was probably funny for its time, but that type of humor became cliche due to its success. Same thing with the movie's soundtrack.

De Niro’s character constantly fiddles with his stopwatch, I think it’s symbolic for how he tries to “control” time, and wants to turn back the clock.

Oh man I can't wait to show this to my dad! He's gonna absolutely lose his marbles hearing that bits of the soundtrack survived the Goncharov censorship!

this was my favourite scene like holy shit the music the lighting the fear and anticipation. goncharov was a 10000/10 movie.

i’m really really happy this underrated gem is getting more time in the spotlight! fantastic movie!!!

I feel bad for the poor bastard who had to search this seemingly popular and well loved movie not even appear anywhere online and lose their minds

OMG I can't believe I finally get to hear this! I once found the OST on vinyl at a flea market, but it turned out to be so damaged it wouldn't play for more than a few seconds without skipping. Hooray for the digital age!

Apart from the iconic music, this scene highlights one of my favourite under-appreciated details of Goncharov: its use of cuts. Martin Scorsese loves his long takes, and Goncharov doesn't disappoint, including the 4-min tracking shot leading up to this scene. But look at what happens when he arrives and the conversation starts, and Scorsese switches to using typical shot-reverse-shot cuts: Every time it cuts back, the clock behind Goncharov has moved forward more than it should have based on the timing of the conversation. This happens throughout the movie, mind, and most people who talk about it have just chalked it up to carelessness, or splicing multiple takes. But it isn't, and this scene proves it: the overlapping dialogue means this scene *can't* have been spliced from multiple takes. The clock moving forwards, getting closer to the hour, faster than it should every time the camera blinks, was on purpose. I also think, if we think about it, it's pretty clear why: Goncharov knows the end is coming, but even if you know, you don't *really* know. We can also make a pretty good guess where that inspiration came from: Tolstoy's "The Death of Ivan Ilych," an acknowledged influence on the movie in many other ways as well. Tolstoy told us how Ilych always felt like death was something that happens to other people; Scorsese's telling us how Goncharov always felt like he'd have more time.

I remember when my father show me this film, it was beautiful 💞💞

Damn, this movie was good, they should make a modern remake!

Gotta love the recurring clock motifs in this movie and in the soundtrack. ICONIC. While the bridge scene and track definitely rate at the top of my faves, this one is RIGHT UP THERE. Excellent job finding a clean copy. Hope this helps more people to rediscover such an amazing work.

Triste saber que a dublagem brasileira desse filme está perdida...

the clock ticks for us all, goncharov......

This was my grandads favourite movie

Dude this is gonna become a movie at this rate

just found out the other day that my dad has this soundtrack on vinyl!! Honestly one of my favourite scores from it.

Back when movies were cinema 👏👏👏

i just love this movie, chills every time i listen to this

One of the first Pacino films I watched as a kid

goosebumps. takes me right back to my childhood. thank you for the upload!

I like how depending on which tracks and meta-plots you follow, this either sounds like a tragic criminal pulp movie by Scorcese or a Wes Anderson romp of what it means to be human.

Epic film music. I recall seeing this movie Goncharov on Yugoslav tv in the late 70s and it was dubbed in serbocroatian. For some reason I always remembered it with Donald Sutherland playing one of the main roles....I guess I must have confused it with another movie I watched around the same time?

My favorite part of Goncharov was when Goncharov said "Now is the time of Goncharov!" (incorrectly translated as "it's Gonching time" in the 2022 Netflix release) and gonched all over Andrei's face.

"Time is like money, if you know how to spend it correctly, you can get very far, but if you don't, you will not get anywhere" - Goncharov

This movie defied every single movie logic, but it worked! You never knew what genre it was going to be next because it was all of them at the same time. Martin Scorsese really outdid himself and there honestly should have never been another film created after "Goncharov" because it was literally blew every film ever made beforehand, and every picture that came out after, to even now! Nothing will compare to the masterpiece that was "Goncharov". And that's facts!

My favorite scene from this film is when Martin Scorcese (in a cameo appearance) says, "You know what an AK-47 can do to a woman's pushka?"

watched the movie years ago but this soundtrack never left my mind! i can still see the flashing clocktower imagery clear as day. and katya's dress... they don't make movies like this anymore. peak cinema..!

The fact they got this same guy to do the music for Knife Fight City will never cease to amaze me. How do you got from Scorsese to fuckin Beeple Studios.

Stunning soundtrack. The fact this film was so critically bombed is a shame. They obviously didn't listen to the music.

I can picture goncharov and andrey locking eyes during THAT scene, knowing there was something more that they wanted but there wasn’t enough time

Thanks for the inspiration, it finally gave me the motivation to digitize and upload the end credit score ("Final Curtain" theme)

I get the feeling that Goncharov knew from the beginning that his time was limited, and that what he was going to do was going to be meaningless in the end, but he still carried on because it's not in the man's nature to just give up. He mirrors the detective and Katya in this way. If you take away their goals, the heroes and the villains really aren't different from each other, just men fighting a valiant but pointless struggle against the inevitable passage of time.

I remember this theme from the gearing up montage. Even though, it was just a filler leading up to the climax. The ticking made it feel so tense but also slow at the same time. The actor's portrayal also adds to the fact, he looks like he wants to panic but he's just barely able to hold it in by sheer resolve. It's one of Martin's best works of all time by far. Scravo, Borsese...

Scorsese's best movie! But I don't like the ending. I would like Katya to stay alive and go into the sunset with Sophie.

the amount of detail connecting all the parts of the score together was one of my favourite things about this movie, like how it plays the clock ticking sound before the chase up the tower begins, only for it to become the metronome for the timpanis was a brilliant move.

It really gives off the sense of the ineluctable passing of time! They don't make music like this anymore!

The best scene is when Goncharov escapes from the prison camp of the Russian civil war in a long shot with red army soldiers shooting and the dogs chasing in the middle of the snow a very violent scene when Goncharov's companions in the escape die and he is the only one survivor.

I remember the scene where ice pick joe threatens goncharov on that weird russian disco, man I havent seen that movie in yeeears, anybody got a link??

the kgb raid scene was so tense, just asking the little girl where the weapons were with a gun upto her mother's head while the eerie but firm politeness of the constable Cherov was haunting.

If you wanna watch a movie similar there’s a movie called Brother it’s a Russian movie

My father likes this scene the most,whenever we'd watch it together it just sends a chill down your spine

God the score for this film is so fucking good, it captures such emotion that the flim already delivers so well on

this gave me so much anxiety during the movie 😭 we really thought it was over for our fave

Always been one of my favorite movies! So glad to see it get some love 💚

thanks for uploading! i've been searching for this for years

Never in my life did I expect to see the internet spontaneously just invent a movie that doesn't exist
