Dennis Harvey 48 Hills An ideal illustrative case, in that its gently satirical snapshot of village life (anticipatory of The Band's Visit) was nonetheless too provoking for Soviet authorities, who shelved it... Nov 8, 2022 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Like all Iosseliani's films, he shuns narrative for character development and mood.

Audience Member This was a wonderful movie, I like this kind of movies for one thing, you can just sit down and watch these events unfold you, as a spectator and you just watch these people in a quaint little town in Georgia go about their lives, conflcited by communal attitudes and the need to be impressed and to impress. I find this to be the more subtle and well-structured of the few Iosselliani's films. Very much like Jacques Tati. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
