Depuis qu'Otar est parti... (2003)

Synopsis: Three generations of women live in the Republic of Georgia. The brother of one of them lives and works in Paris.

Appraisal: I'm sorry, but this film just doesn't have what it takes. The acting is good, and it offers a portrayal of the afflictions of an ex-USSR republic, but the goings on are a little dull. Probably valid as a calling card for a first-timer, but it definitely could use a little more substance and momentum. A weird connection: its plot bears a relation of symmetry to that of Moonlighting (1982).

Rating: 49
