"Since Otar Left:" quite simply, one of the most powerful

Posted by tinear (A) on July 16, 2006 at 07:56:36

films ever made.
No greater depiction of familial love ever has been captured on celluloid, no better portrayal of old age.
In Tbilisi, Georgia, an old woman lives with her daughter and granddaughter. These three generations of women struggle in post-Communism, each coping with poverty through resignation, humor, or bitterness.
Years earlier, the dowager's son Otar, who had been a medical student, emigrated to Paris to make a better life for himself and to help his family by sending them money.
One day, the letters stop.
The film has a steady, even pace which seduces you... when the shocks arrive, you are unprepared.
The quality of acting is astonishing: the old woman eschews cliché and creates one of the most memorable film characters of all time.
Really.
If you don't see another film this year, see this one!
