Drama queer in Georgia, country where dance is Nation. A fairly classic gay plot on movies, but poetry and dance. Sensitive.
This is a superb film that depicts an excerpt in the life of a young man from Tbilisi – “Merab” (Levan Gelbakhiani) who balances his work in his family restaurant with his training to be a classical dancer at a very tough school that emphasises the masculinity and traditions of ancient Georgian dance. His life is somewhat turned upside down by the antics of his wayward brother and by the appearance of “Irakli” (Bachi Valishvili) at the dance school – a man with whom he starts to explore more of his own personal identity in a culture that takes an exceptionally dim view of homosexuality. Gelbakhiani is super here; he genuinely can dance – and the emotive themes that conveys are simple and special. The use of the traditional musical accompaniment – with frequently just a drum (and a wee bit of Abba) – all adds to this gently authentic slice of the life of this aspiring and inspirational young man on his way, we hope, to better things. The last five minutes are a wonderful demonstration of his skill/perserverance and determination.
Emotional masterpiece with a power to help people understand
Never before in cinema have I seen a relationship in which I would so genuinely believe. In every word, move, look, gesture of Merab (Levan Gelbakhiani) I can see and feel an ordinary young artist struggling with self-identification and experiencing first love.The idea of portraying gay romance in such a conservative country as Georgia could give the director Levan Akin many reasons to be moralistic and pretentious. Yet the end result is by no means like this. In every scene, every word, it is subtle, naturalistic, thought-provoking without any unnecessary preachiness. Opinions and feelings are conveyed through music and dance, which enables the film to achieve all its purposes in a delicate yet decisive way.
Akin does not portray Georgian society as something evil. As everywhere, there are people who hate, people who do not understand and people who support. ‘And Then We Danced’ is a meaningful masterpiece made by those who support not only for those who need the support, but also for those who do not understand yet.
A Very Clever Use of Dance…
…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).
