Blackbird Blackbird Blackberry (15)
Dir. Elene Naveriani, Georgia, 2023, 111 mins. In Georgian with English subtitles. Cast. Eka Chavleishvili, Temiko Chichinadze, Lia Abuladze.
Etero lives in a small village in Georgia and runs a tiny shop. She's never wanted a husband and cherishes her freedom as much as the mille-feuille cakes she buys next to the bus interchange. But her choice to live alone is the cause of much gossip among her fellow villagers. Unexpectedly, she finds herself passionately falling for a man, and suddenly faced with the decision to pursue a relationship or continue a life of independence.
“A work of incredible depth, intelligent and intuitive, which can teach us a thing or two about finding pleasure in life” Cineuropa
“A colourful, sardonic Kaurismaki-like quality that's thoroughly winning” ShadowsOnTheWall
