Otar Iosseliani and his "Brigands, chapitre VII"

I fully understand that the Georgian director Otar Iosseliani is not exactly the household name for many here. Yet, he, and the Georgian cinematography in general, do deserve special recognition.

I will not go into much details about this film, I will just tell you that it is indeed quite special... if you have predisposition for such movie.

Or perhaps you don't... but listen, it is available on a DVD in the US, and you can rent it. So why don't you do it and see what YOUR reaction is to this marvel... and marvel it is.

I have to warn you - unless you are reasonably familiar with the Soviet and Georgian history and culture, some of its humor and beauty will be lost, but I am sure enough will make it through to interest those who are willing to think outside the box.

One thing for sure - you can do whole lot worse for that $4 rental... even if you say "Huh?" at the end.
