This extraordinary DVD premiere of four rare films by acclaimed Georgian filmmaker Otar Iosseliani takes us on a whimsical voyage of self-discovery. Before his self-exile to direct films in France, Iosseliani's work was frequently banned, shelved, or restricted by Soviet authorities. The early films on this DVD include APRIL, the film picked to showcase Iosseliani's talent at this year's Cannes. Iosseliani's contemporary fables of modern life and traditional values have been compared to the classic comedies of French master Jacques Tati. Shrewdly whimsical and filmed with a poetic casualness, Iosseliani's universe is one of joyous pessimism. The career of director Otar Iosseliani is highlighted via four of his films in this collection. The Georgian filmmaker loves to carve out some mirth-riddled comedies that are shot through with his own inimitable brand of humor. Included here is the short film APRIL (1962), which is the touching tale of a young couple whose relationship suffers due to the clutter that litters their apartment; FALLING LEAVES (1968), which focuses on a couple who fall for each other after working together in a wine factory; PASTORALI (1976), which deposits a string quartet into a community that doesn't want them; and, finally, a 1970 effort titled THERE ONCE WAS A SINGING BLACKBIRD. 4 Films By Otar Iosseliani | List Price | $59.95 (You save $19.96) | | Studio | Facets Video | | All Time Sales Rank |  71355  | | CD Universe Part number | 6922165 | | Catalog number | 77005 | | Discs | 4 | | Release Date | Dec 13, 2005 | | Rating | Not Rated | | Running Time | 78 Minutes | | Additional Info | Widescreen; Black & White; Subtitled | | Movie Details | Color; Widescreen; Black & White; Subtitled |
