Since Otar Left - Out from Under the Curtain Central Asian, Caucasian, and Balkan Film Series - Spring 2005: Screening the 90s and Beyond

Dir. by Julie Bertucelli, Georgia/France/Belgium, 2004

Three generations of women in a Tbilisi family bond and clash in the absence of their son, brother, and uncle, Otar, who has emigrated to France. Remarkable performances all around, especially by Esther Gorintin, an actress who made her film debut in 1999 at age 85.
