yandex.com/images - at the right of the search field there's a little 📷 icon. This will allow you to find higher res versions of any image you have.

Searching for 'image upscale' or 'image superresolution' will also help.

Anybody up for watching the 1987 Soviet crime film "Assa" with me on Blorptube @ 11 PM CET / 5 PM EDT? (lemmy.ml)

blorp.bot.nu/o/visual_cuisine

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".
