ETHERAL traffic in the German cathexis with Italy, the Teutonic concept of the Mediterranean cradle of the Imperium as the primal site of warm abandon, where pale and dutiful burghers can go to tan amid the ruins, spice up their bready palates, and fall in love or just lust as a supposedly acculturating stop on the Grand Tour.
Back focuses on a solitary genius reckoning with his decadence, V homes in on a busy klatch of already decayed relations, a dark-comically caricatured cohort of Nazi normies who’ve come to the balmy capital of post-Mussolini Austria to cut loose from throat-cutting (and to say a little prayer and make a little jurist music).
