An immensely entertaining 70's comedy drama from Georgia.
The film documents the past and present life of a female journalist in small fragments creating a remarkable whole. Some fragments are sad, some are more funny, and everything is done in a way that there can be no doubt about Gogoberidze being a great filmmaker. Her control of the medium, her skill to tell just the things she wants to tell in an original way makes this film, which to our western eyes seems rather experimenting, a real treat to watch.
Highly recommended as a reminder of what celluloid can be made to do when will and skill combine.
