Well Deserved Praise

I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

a gem. small. delicate and seductive. remembering old fairy tales from the East, using the motif of looking for the love and the sacrifices for conquering it, not ignoring popular themes and being an Abuladze admirable work. a film of a special emotion more than of a story. because the story is well known in the space between Balkans and Caucasus. and only the humor, the music, the acting are the pieces for make the difference . the poetry of film - one of the basic virtues. the social and cultural exploring - the other significant pillar of a film about small things defining, in profound sense, the life. so, a travel for demonstrate the force of noble feelings.

Fairy tale and story about small things, nice and delicate, picture of a world and its values, old flavor and a hero without great ambitions but with clear desire to married, picturesque and tale in tale, window to a way to define the basic truth,it is, in fact, a piece of Abuladze, in which the taste of later "Natvris khe" is present and power, in which the search of happiness has same recipes, in which the nature is part of this search.The gift for the beautiful girl, the innocence of Bakhadur, the songs and rites are slices of the heart of strange expectation to define yourself. Beautiful and naive, the movie is trip among the shadows of childhood. And skin for a Sunday afternoon, definition of sense of faith and image of a roots - words for who the life is only cloak of dream
