In Bloom

Streaming video - 2013

This film follows inseparable friends Eka and Natia, both fourteen years old and at the end of their childhood in the early nineties Tbilisi, the capital of the newly independent Georgia after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The country is facing violence, war on the Black Sea coast (Abkhazia) and vigilante justice that plague society. But for Eka and Natia, life just unfolds: in the street, at school, with friends or elder sisters who are already dealing with male dominance, early marriage and disillusioned love. For these two girls in bloom, life just goes on.....Ekvtimishvili’s semi-autobiographical coming-of-ager is one of the most impressive debut films of recent years, exhibiting an impeccable flair for subtle narrative—includin...g the most imaginative use of a gun in recent memory—while Oleg Mutu’s cinematography, including countless intricate plans sequences, further builds on the reputation he established on films such as The Death of Mr. Lazarescu and 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days.
