The Georgian Dance

 

And Then We Danced (2019)

Written & directed by Levan Akin this film stars Levan Gelbakhiani, Ana Javakhishvili and Bachi Valishvili. At the National Georgian Ensamble two young men begin a secret affair.

I suspect if I was more familiar with Georgian culture I would have gotten more out of this, some of the subtleties of the criticism of masculinity in Georgian culture and dance likely went over my head. In general this is a decent watch that never gets melodramatic. Enjoyable even for an outsider.
