Details: Product description Since Otar Left… is a Franco-Belgian film directed by Julie Bertuccelli, released in 2003. Three generations of women live in Tbilisi, Georgia. Otar, the son of the eldest, Eka (Esther Gorintin), has gone to Paris to look for work. He dies in an accident. Eka's daughter, Marina (Nino Khomasuridze), and granddaughter, Ada (Dinara Drukarova), want to hide her son's death from her. Amazon.ca Former documentary filmmaker and assistant to the masters Iosseliani, Kieslowski and Tavernier, the young Julie Bertuccelli signs with Since Otar left, a first feature film imbued with sensitivity and humanism, rewarded with the César for the best first work, the grand prize of the week of criticism at the Cannes festival and the prize for the best screenplay in French at the Deauville festival. In Tbilisi, Georgia, 23-year-old Ada shares an apartment with her mother and grandmother. Their daily life is organized around the news they receive from Otar, Ada's uncle, who has gone to Paris in search of a better life. But quickly, the lie enters the game and disrupts their relationship. Scanning with generosity and delicacy the fascinating exchanges of contradictions between these three generations of women, Since Otar Left also succeeds through them, and without sensationalism or miserabilism, in drawing a subtle portrait of a Georgia slowly recovering from the long Soviet occupation and a fantasy France. Three countries, therefore, but also three actresses, superb. The Georgian Nino Khomassouridze, the Russian Dinara Droukarova, discovery Move, die and rise again and the surprising 90-year-old French actress, Esther Gorintin, already impressive in Voyages, brought together in a film as simple as it is touching, as strong as it is great. A discovery. – Helen Faradji.
