It is never easy for women in a male-dominated society
Grzeli nateli dgeebi is a film from Georgia shown as In Bloom (2013) in the U.S. It was directed by Nana Ekvtimishvili and Simon Groß. Nana Ekvtimishvili is also the writer.The film takes place in the Georgian city of Tbilisi in 1992, shortly after the disintegration of the U.S.S.R. Although life is not easy in Tbilisi–people are always standing in line waiting to buy bread–the movie doesn’t depict widespread misery. Young people are attending school, and there’s enough food on the table for everyone we meet. (I assume this is an accurate portrayal of the situation at the time, although I have no way of confirming this.)
The film is, at its core, a coming-of-age movie about two adolescent girls–Eka (Lika Babluani) and Natia (Mariam Bokeria). They are best friends and manage to protect each other, as much as possible, from male aggression and bullying.
Things don’t work out very well, but I can’t say more without spoiling the movie. I can say this much–there’s a wedding in the film, and one of the friends gives the bride the gift of an incredible folkloric dance. It’s very different–at least for me–from what I expected an Eastern European folk dance to look like, but it’s truly beautiful.
We saw this movie at the excellent Dryden Theatre in Rochester, NY. However, it will work well on DVD. I noticed that most of the IMDb reviews of In Bloom came from Eastern European viewers. I don’t know whether that’s because the movie has had limited release in the U.S., or because U.S. viewers just haven’t been motivated to review it.
The good news is that, as I write this review, its IMDb rating is a very high 8.1. So, those who have seen In Bloom really, really like it. That supports my suggestion to seek it out and view it if at all possible.
Touching, inspiring, heartbreaking, breathtaking
Yes, indeed I just registered on IMDb so that I could write a review on this truly amazing movie. The movie is centered around two teenage girls making it through the war in Georgia (the country) from 1990’s and their every day struggles at home, school and on the streets. The war is not on the front page though. It is in the background but it does not make the movie any less dramatic. Physical and sexual harassment, bullying, civil war, poverty, survival, struggle, depression, making it to the next day, swimming in the ocean of aggression while trying to retain some values and integrity, trying not to become one of them…It is more revealing and even shocking once you realize that the struggles these girls and their mothers and grandmothers had to fight more than 20 years ago are not necessarily over either in Georgia or elsewhere. Women still have to put up the ‘pretty’ masks once in public and smile and pretend to be happy even if they had been beaten up by their spouses a few hours earlier. Women have to act in order to please others – others being spouses, or parents, or friends, or the society as a whole. In short, the movie is highly recommended!
