End of the odyssey of a (states)man - or how to find yourself alone in front of yourself
johnpierrepatrick24 November 2020
More than the end of Zviad Gamsakhourdia state destiny - the main character isn't even named, this movie shows us a statesman who meets the end of this destiny through an odyssey that brings him in front of himself. It does so in filming Georgia and its beautiful mountains and songs, only to highlight the inherent loneliness that comes with power and the darkness he finds himself after a coup. Finding himself when running away, again and again.

With a slow pace, kinda poetic at some moments, it has also a persistent side - quite efficient there but some will find it repetitive. However, if you dive into the movie, it will move you into a story that tends to forget this specific story and aim being universal.

Man is unwillingly hypocrite

Warning: Spoilers
(Contains spoilers) I was lucky to see this long-awaited picture in its Georgian premiere, In Batumi. Majestic Phantoms of Khibula were felt long after the ending titles... Visually The film was so absorbing that after few days I'll stiull have to try my best to write about it... okay so here it is shortly: the roots of hypocrisy lie deeper within us then we usually ever imagine.
