[kino] Since Otar left .....

[Dmitri Krioukov]

we saw it with fontas in a theater when it was released
last summer. both (especially i) can confirm vijay's
recommendation.

btw, for lovers of new georgian cinema in general and
new georgian sensual cinema in particular (interestingly,
directors tend to be females :) "27 missing kisses"
are *strongly* recommended: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0246405/

check other dzhordzhadze's films, especially this one:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117050/ -- it was also
released in the US.

This movie with the awkward title is a French Georgian production set in
Tbilisi where all the characters speak French, Georgian and Russian. ( Just
the kind of movie Brad is eagerly looking forward to ). The title is the
only thing wrong with the movie. It is a story of three generations of
women - the grandmother, the daughter, and the grand daughter - each of them
spins a web of lies, ostensibly to protect the other two who might be too
fragile to face the truth. In the end all three turn out to be stronger than
they themselves imagined. Poignant and touching it is a lovely gem of a
movie. Highly recommended!
