Flicking #66: Blackbird Blackbird Blackberry
from Standard Issue Podcast · host Standard Issue
With an awards-bothering central performance from Eka Chavleishvili, Elene Naveriani’s adaptation of Tamta Melashvili’s 2020 novel got smashing reviews across the board. Set in a small, remote village in Georgia, the film brings us Etero, a single, middle-aged woman whose quiet, insular life is exploded by a near-death experience and a sexual awakening. But is Etero isolated or independent? How mean can women feasibly be to one another? Is it a sexy film? And will talking about it prove too much for Mick’s pronunciation abilities? Yeah, that last one’s rhetorical. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
