Ok, I'll be honest i don't really understand the point of this little film (only 75 mins long), or what it is trying to say. It is very slow paced, with little suspense to speak of. Having said that there are little moments of humour that will induce a smile or two, and it is also shot very beautifully.
Essentially, the two things you'll be doing for the duration of this film if you manage to find it are:
a) scratching your head, and
b) admiring the beautiful Georgian scenery
- A strange, but not entirely wasted 75 minutes.
As a fan of 13 Tzameti I had high hopes for this film which is from the same director and has many cast members in common. I watched and waited for the story to develop and expected a twist or two to add interest but it never came.I had invited my friends around to watch this film but it was so poor I actually felt embarassed that they had to endure it.
75 minutes of my life wasted.
