Et puis nous danserons

If you want a different, warm, gripping and engaging drama - this is the movie! This heartwarming story from Georgia is a charmbomb. Incredibly well filmed with the storytelling taking place in Tiblisi. We follow a young man's encounter with his first love, in unfamiliar surroundings (at least for me). Great performances by these young actors make it both poignant and believable. I think the protagonist of the film clearly manages to show the challenges of being gay, in an environment that is clearly not ready for it. The film's message of what love and sorrow does to us is universal, but the place and surroundings this takes place in this film, lift it up and make it a special and touching experience in the cinema. Thanks to the Oslo Fusion Film Festival setting up this one, I hope it gets wide release worldwide. A warm recommendation from me.

Scenes are beautiful, cast is amazing, soundtracks are charming, and the entire movie is very emotional and just phenomenal! Don't believe the false reviews!!! They are written by homophobes or people who were paid to do it!!!

...to present and explore a story of prejudice and the resistance of out of touch traditions, mindsets and perceptions to an individuals right to be who they are. Beautifully orchestrated and choreographed, engaging performances all round, genuinely sincere, honest and believable (unfortunately).

The direction and the screenplay is very organic in the way you don't notice how slowly the characters transition and do what you expect them to do. Both the guys are really beautiful at acting out their roles and I loved how in every setting the background noise was prominent which made it more real? I liked it.

For director the one challenge is to shoot a film about LGBTQ issue and not to dramatize script, another is to take Georgian film about the same issue and do not express a enormous wave of aggression to homophobia and to catch the balance. If you ask me why I will answer: In Georgia plenty people are on the side of homophobia. From my point of view the main problem is that they think LGBTQ people are strangers, they live somewhere not near them, not in their families, not in their neighborhood or in the circles of friends. They think gays are some savage, immoral people without families or normal lives.

And then there is the movie AND THEN WE DANCED. Director is catching the balance, it doesn't show any aggression, it only tells that gay people are between us, as normal as anyone and we only need to face that and to be humane.

The film is kind and emotional. RECOMMEND! Maybe after watching this film people haunted by homophobia will rethink the issue.
