Set in Georgia -- the one in Eurasia, not the one around Atlanta -- or perhaps seacoast Bohemia, this movie, directed by Nana Dzhordzhadze, is a Shakespearean comedy that makes liberal use of images from his tragedies. In a theatrics-mad town, the screening of the French movie Emanuelle has everyone discussing this new vision of art, and has fourteen-year-old Nutsa Kukhianidze deciding she is going to seduce and wed the forty-one-year-old father of her age-appropriate boyfriend.

It's shot in sections of Tbiliisi and Athens -- the one in Greece, not Georgia -- and lit by cinematographer Phedon Papamichael that give it the look of a Kenneth Branagh Shakespeare movie from the 1990. Somehow it manages to mock the psychology of teen-aged girls and show their sorrows at the same time, and be beautiful to look at.
