Sous le ciel de Koutaïssi

This is a trivial story so poorly told, and so boring!

They explain everything by using a narrator´s voice over, instead of images, dialogs or actions... reminds me "Glenn or Glenda" by Ed Wood Jr.

The love story? Who knows?...

This was absolutely one of the best movies I saw this year. I know the town and I fell in love with it anew. All the beautiful shots, people and dogs are harmoniously whirling around in the sunny streets of the city. This is a true cinema where you are part of the experience, and music helps to elevate the feeling.

Composed as a fairy tale and happening in our times in Georgia from Eastern Europe, though not the real Georgia, but an imagined one, where people are benevolent, and dogs are important characters, and all that happens is contemplation of time, love and simplicity. And with the sadness of quiet awareness of the deterioration of environment and political landscapes. A beautiful music score and a good reminder of what art could be when is not in the capitalist discourse.

A magical movie that I will come back to, again and again. After watching the interview of the director I could see that the movie is a mirror of his very kind soul.

Could have cut approximately 2 hours off the final run time with the absolute nonsense fillers this film had. Seriously, people were grunting and falling asleep in the theater, myself included. I did not need all those extra scenes that in no way contributed to moving along the plot. Ending was terribly predictable too, so I was wrong for staying in my seat thinking it'll get better. It got worse and worse..

This movie purposefully breaks every movie-making rule in the book. The plot is told by a narrator. The main characters are never really the sole focus of the camera. In fact, the main characters almost never speak on-screen. The main plot is not important. The movie's main focus is the background scenery.

That's what makes it hard to get, if you're not used to this art house kind of film.

Absolutely beautiful shots, good acting, and a bit too slow, but chill pace.

7 out of 10.

I recommend watching this, if you like art house films.
