    The films of the former Soviet Union are more like poetry, and various emotions are like the "moods of today" woven by the language of life. A few fragments of the dream reminded me of Andrei...

    The critique is somewhat straightforward. Is the confession fostered by a dictator or his descendants perhaps religious or idealized? The evil of the world is far more terrifying than the film shows. There can never be enough criticism like...

    Personally, I think that aside from the political themes, this is actually a movie about faith. The last sentence: "How about the road leading to the church?" The church here is no longer synonymous with religion, but faith, because there is no faith. human beings are...

    A prominent sign of totalitarian autocracy is seeking political legitimacy among the people, deceiving the people and deceiving themselves in behavior. "Repentance": a film that won the Grand Prix of the Jury at the 40th Cannes Film Festival in 1987, telling the story of a totalitarian tyranny and human repentance and punishment. As the third part of director Ablaze's trilogy, this film is considered to be the "first spring swallow" of the Soviet film...

    8/10. Modernist tactics abound: murky like Inquisition water dungeons and imprisoned carts, names of those arrested on log piles for relatives to find, dissidents showing indifference to inauguration (girls blow bubbles while fathers close windows), The grandfather was afraid of the exposure of history and wanted to shoot the sun outside the fence. The paintings were piled up with looted paintings. The fish bones left by his father symbolized the legacy of the autocratic...

    What will happen to the world if mankind loses faith?

    When the sworn declaration turns into the devil's incantation, and the appearance of the red heart cannot hide the rotten essence, what can we rely on to maintain the morality that human beings should most not degenerate? At the end of "Repentance", Ablaze seems to give a succinct answer, is this...

Repentance quotes

  • Ketevan Barateli: On behalf of everyone who was unjustly punished, I demand that Varlam Aravidze be dug up from his grave by his own relatives.

    Guliko: I protest! All you've heard here is a lie and slander!

    Ketevan Barateli: Slander? Prove that it's a slander!

    Prosecutor: You mean that the deceased should not be buried?

    Ketevan Barateli: No, you must not bury him! Let the carrion crows tear him to pieces! Burying him means forgiving him, shutting our eyes to everything he had perpetrated. I publicly declare once again: If you don't dig him up, I will get him, I will not leave him in peace!

  • Abel Aravidze as an adult: Varlam was always guided by the interests of society. But sometimes he had to act against his will.

    Tornike: And if he were ordered to destroy the world, would he have done it?

    Abel Aravidze as an adult: You know what? Your grandfather never killed anyone with his own hands! And you did fire at a human being! What kind of morals you're talking of?

    Tornike: I didn't know who I was firing at.

    Abel Aravidze as an adult: What difference does it make? You did fire at a human!

    Tornike: Yes, I did... And it makes our guilt even worse.

    Abel Aravidze as an adult: Whose guilt?

    Tornike: Grandfather's, mine, and yours.

    Abel Aravidze as an adult: What do you blame me for?

    Tornike: For justifying grandfather and for following in his steps. You're a worse murderer than me, because you don't pity that woman.

    Abel Aravidze as an adult: Why should I pity her? Are you out of your mind?

    Tornike: You'd rather strangle her than ask her forgiveness.

    Abel Aravidze as an adult: I couldn't imagine that you were such an idiot! She digs up my father from his grave, and I'm supposed to apologize? Yes, I will strangle her, and you too, if you don't come to your senses. I shall not let her desecrate the deceased!

    Tornike: I hate you. I hate you!
