Pirosmani

Georgy Shagelaya, Gruziafilm, 1968; 86m

The life of Pirosmani, a Georgian primitivist folk painter, is explored in dreamlike detail by his compatriot Georgy Shagelaya. The film's curious sepia color scheme pays a subtle tribute to Pirosmani's own artwork, which ranges from folk whimsy to unfettered drama.
