Tangerines (2013)
Directed by Zaza
Urushadze this film stars Lembit Ulfsak, Elmo Nuganen, Giorgi
Nakashidze and Mikheil Meskhi. Two men from Estonia living Abkhazia
try to harvest tangerines while the 1992-1993 war in the region goes
on around them.
While this is a simple
and clearly constructed tale it is a good look at war, pacifism and
accepting others as human with clear religious undertones. The story
moves along as gently and builds nicely to it's conclusion leaving
you genuinely sad for the fate of some of the characters. I really
enjoyed the performances of the cast and the direction shows measured
restraint.
4/5
