The event is over
When Lisa and Giorgi bump into each other in a street in Kutaisi, Georgia, it is love at first sight. They forget to exchange names but agree to meet again the next day. Will they be able to see each other again? If they can, will they know who they really are?
Alexandre Koberidze, Sous le ciel de Koutaϊssi [ What Do We See When We Look At The Sky?] , Georgia / Germany, 2021, 150 min, original version with French subtitles
With Ani Karseladze, Giorgi Bochorishvili, Giorgi Ambroladze
2021 Berlinale, official competition / 2021 La Rochelle Film Festival
“Sous le ciel de Koutaϊssi is one of those rare films that totally reinvents the art of storytelling. Combining witchcraft, thwarted romance and a passion for football, it undoes the order of events in a stream of heterogeneous episodes. While the tale is recounted by a voice-over, the director’s methods - use of framing, distance, light, associations and ellipsis – is based on the strengths of cinema itself: its bewitching power and our belief as spectators, charmingly solicited.”
Presented by the editorial team of Cahiers du cinéma and followed by a virtual meeting with Alexandre Koberidze
Preview screening ahead of its release in cinemas on 9 February 2022 by Damned Distribution
