The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
I really enjoyed this movie. A great tragicomedy! True to form, the story is great and unusual written by Irakli Kvirikadze. The story has multiple layers, so I recommend one more viewing to grasp its richness. I highly recommend seeing other films written by Kvirikadze. His screenplays are very enjoyable with layers of complexities. Most recent is 27 missing kisses directed by his wife Nana Djordjadze. He collaborated often with his wife. A Chef in Love (american release 1996) was one such film that was nominated for the Academy Awards in 1997. A feast for the eyes. Irakli Kvirikadze was first known for both his writing and directing.His films were repeatedly banned in the 80s and 90s during Soviet rule. Today he is known simultaneously as the Fellini of post-soviet cinema and the leader in post-soviet renaissance.
I rented this movie cause the girl at the store said it was incredible. Well, maybe it is, but only for those twisted-minded "elite" movie watchers. For me, the movie was boring. It is so predictable: as the one who has watched lots of Russian films, I could tell how it would end after the first 15 mins. I regret every minute I wasted on this movie. I do not understand those putting it high marks. I give it 1 out of 10, if there were negative ratings, I would go for it...
This is a really sweet story about the East. A young girl becomes pregnant, and her father and brother want to find the papa.Of course, it's not an easy thing, so we can follow them on their long and funny trip.It's really serious at the start, and it becomes more and more absurd. At the end, when you think it's over, it takes a round, and goes on.With beautiful scenes, and with a Kusturica-styled humor.
The whole time I watched this movie, I was reminded of the films of Emir Kusturica. The setting in an eastern landscape (here: somewhere in the asian part of russia) and the grotesque characters could have been elements in Films of the bosnian director Emir Kusturica. But in this case it simply won't work. The film is simply boring.
