Repentance / Monanieba / USSR / 1984

I saw this only one time before, a good 20 years ago, and I’m surprised that – apart from a couple of striking images of the Stalin-surrogate character – I remember absolutely nothing else. It made a bit of an impact in its day, but this time round seems to me to be bloated, meandering, and unwieldy, with good ideas expended in the indulgences of dull, extended fantasy sequences. The only other film I’ve seen by Tengiz Abuladze, The Plea, is far superior.
