An enchanting love story suffused with magic, this amiably ambling fable is fit-to-burst with hope and wonder. Alexandre Koberidze’s generous ode to romance wanders the sun-dappled streets of Georgia’s ancient Kutaisi with open arms, inviting its inhabitants—and their mysteries—into a warm embrace.

Playing an awkward, cowardly version of himself with self-deprecation, director Julian Radlmaier toys with ideas of radical politics in this knowing and colorful film. Deragh Campbell costars—charmingly irreverent next to a collective of bigheaded men who argue about how to organize a better world.

Filmed in the pulsing, quivering low frame-rate of a 2000s Sony Ericsson camera phone, Alexandre Koberidze’s lo-fi magical-realist epic glimmers with the humble mystery of the everyday. Mesmeric and transcendent, Dry Leaf is one of the most breathtakingly original films of the decade so far.

At once a ravishing city symphony and a love story for the ages, Alexandre Koberidze’s debut feature swoons through the streets of Tbilisi in an amorous haze of digital impressionism. Shot on a low-res cellphone, this beguiling poetic collage is a sensual exploration of memory, heartache, and war.
