Tangerines


Lembit Ulfsak (Actor), Elmo Nüganen (Actor),  
 Zaza Urushadze (Director)   


"Tangerines" (2013 release from Estonia; 87 min.) brings the story of a conflict being played out in the early 90s in the countryside of Georgia (the country not the state), involving Georgians, Chechens, and Estonians who have lived in Georgia for many years.


As the movie opens, the fighting is going on and we learn that many Estonian families have returned to Estonia. Not Ivo of his neighbor Margus, however. Margus is about to harvest his crop of tangerines, and Ivo builds crates to held them. Then one day, small groups of Georgians and Chechens are fighting nearby Ivo's house and as it happens, one Georgian and one Chechen survive. Ivo sees no other solution than to take them both into his house.


At this point we're a good 10 min. into the movie but to tell you more would spoil your viewing experience, you'll just have to see for yourself how it all plays out."


Review By Paul Allaer




My Comments:  One of the best movies I have ever seen. Moving, profound, beautiful, haunting. Transcends the specific location and factions to become a tale for all time. I loved it.
