Dennis Harvey 48 Hills Based on verse by national poet Vazha-Pshavela, it is itself a kind of poem—with monumental B&W imagery, a superb orchestral score, traditional songs, and characters’ inner thoughts expressed in voiceover rather than dialogue. Nov 8, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member so while I don't even begin to understand all that's going on in this film, the look and sound of it is unquestionably beautiful. the Caucasian setting is so serene, and the cinematography and certain lighting effects are just great. at certain points in the film I just quit paying attention to the subtitles because it was more interesting to simply watch and listen to the flowing, lyrical Georgian. if I ever decide to watch this again, hopefully I'll have studied up on my Georgian history and literature so I can glean more out of a repeat viewing.
