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.

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.
