Winter Song

In his most recent film, Otar Iosseliani tells a story that revolves around the French Revolution and the closing of refugee camps in contemporary Europe, down-and-outs and weapons dealers in Paris, war and friendship, and how all these things fits together, narrated in his inimitable style, at once nimble and melancholy. WINTER SONG is a powerful late work of impressive freshness and considerable aesthetic freedom, in which director and actor Pierre Étaix (1928–2016) makes his final screen appearance.
