“Pastorale” (1975) is the final and one of the most profound films of Otar Iosseliani’s Georgian period. Imagine a typical Georgian village, with its daily clamor, labor, and monotony. Into this environment arrives a group of musicians from the city. They settle in with a family where ordinary village life is in full swing. These two distinct worlds fail to understand one another. “Pastorale” is a film about human alienation. It is a cinematic observation of how difficult true mutual understanding can be.
