Quote:
A young happy couple moves from a poor district to a new housing estate.
APRILI is a parable. Two young lovers are caught in a trap by older people who cut trees and make furniture… Their love is lost in their beautiful, cluttered apartment…

Quote:
On completing his training at the famous VGIK film school, Otar Iosseliani shoots Aprili as his end-of-studies film. The film is perfectly constructed and already reveals the poetic – and political – strength of the Georgian master’s mise en scène.
Shot in 1962, and almost immediately banned by the Soviet authorities for excessive formalism, this film made its first screening with its full 46-minute running time at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival.

The post Otar Iosseliani – Aprili (1961) (HD) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Recalling the charm and humor of a Jacques Tati film, this fantasy, by noted Georgian director Otar Iosseliani, is about young love undone by consumerism. Using almost no dialogue, and set amid the dilapidated architecture of Tbilisi, the film focuses on a tall young man (Tanya Chantouria) as he woos a pretty lass (Gia Chirakadze). Though their apartment is rundown and nearly empty, their love makes the water flow, the electricity run, and the flames flicker on their stove. Yet when they start outfitting their abode with newly purchased furniture and precious odds and ends, they start to squabble. Shot in 1962, and almost immediately banned by the Soviet authorities for excessive formalism, this film made its first screening with its full 50-minute running time at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival.
