The greatest significance lies in establishing an extremely effective symbolic connection between the present moment and historical memory, but the core meaning of "whip corpse" is still ready to...

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...

Nino Barateli: Esteemed Varlam, will you sing again? Sing something else, please. Don't refuse, please, dear Varlam!
Varlam Aravidze: With great pleasure. Tired with all these, for restful death I cry: as, to behold desert a beggar born, and needy nothing trimm'd in jollity, and purest faith unhappily forsworn, and gilded honour shamefully misplaced, and maiden virtue rudely strumpeted, and right perfection wrongfully disgraced, and strength by limping sway disabled, and art made tongue-tied by authority, and folly, doctor-like, controlling skill, and simple truth miscall'd simplicity, and captive good attending captain ill. William Shakespeare. Sonnet 66. A regimen is a regimen.

Mikheil Koresheli: I understand, but this is not an argument for the letter's authors.
Varlam Aravidze: Maybe the artist's talent isn't a strong argument for them either? They have in mind his stand.
Mikheil Koresheli: What are you talking about? Talent is kindness, and that's already a stand!
Varlam Aravidze: I understand that Sandro Barateli is your friend and pupil.By the way, do you know that he's my relative?
Mikheil Koresheli: No... I didn't know that.
Varlam Aravidze: Even a close relative. Write a protest, esteemed Mikhail. Barateli is arrested, but he's not convicted. I was just executing the people's will, masses stand behind that letter. And each word coming from the masses is the holy of holies for me. Write a protest, esteemed Mikhail.
Mikheil Koresheli: To write a protest?
Varlam Aravidze: Yes, I have nothing against it.
Mikheil Koresheli: Wait, wait... What do you mean, "nothing against it"? What can you possibly have against the truth?
Varlam Aravidze: The truth? Nothing.
Mikheil Koresheli: Well, I'll write it!
Varlam Aravidze: Go ahead, write it. But take that letter into account, too.
Mikheil Koresheli: What does that letter, that filth have to do with it? That provocation?
Varlam Aravidze: Not a provocation, but a document registered in thousands of places.
Mikheil Koresheli: I don't care where it's registered.
Varlam Aravidze: You're wrong, esteemed Mikhail. It's my duty to take the position of the majority, for the majority decides.
Mikheil Koresheli: What majority? What are you talking about? One man of reason outweighs a thousand idiots.
Varlam Aravidze: I understand that you're talking about me.
Mikheil Koresheli: Stand up for him. Defending one person is not such a big deal.
Varlam Aravidze: But remember, as the letter's authors see it, you're protecting the enemy. Yes, your friend and my relative is our enemy now. And we are his victims.
Mikheil Koresheli: Who is the enemy? Who is the enemy?
