Once Upon a Time There Was a Singing Blackbird
by Otar Iosseliani
Soviet Union, 1970, 85'
Guia is a musician who always needs to be in constant hustle and bustle and who, with his optimism and joy for life, irritates his boss who wants to make him ordinary and disciplined.
Iosseliani's cinema full of fables about modern life and traditional values has been compared with the classic comedies of Jacques Tati.
Filmed with poetic casualness, Iosseliani's universe is full of joyful pessimism.
