A Georgian movie Repentance.
Repentance is a landmark historical film, a A lot is happening in Tengiz Abuladze's brilliant and shockingly less seen "Repentance" (1984). Banned upon its initial release in the Soviet Union, it got its premiere only at the Cannes Festival in 1987. It certainly doesn't come as a surprise, considering the film's biting content! Abuladze plays around with a whole gamut of ideas in his masterwork that begins as a dark, absurdist comedy, turns into a scathing political allegory infused with surrealism, and then culminates into a strong morality play. While the aforementioned plot description seems to be a rather oddball comic ghost story, it soon shifts shape and turns into a fantastical history lesson, a harrowing tale of a reign of terror unleashed on innocent beings by the masked devil.- Tengiz Abuladze, Repentance (1986)
