The summer
before Alex and Nica are to get married, they backpack through the Caucasus
Mountains in Georgia. The
landscape is very beautiful and quiet.
They hire a local guide to help them on their journey. An incident involving an older man with
two boys they encounter along the way shakes Nica’s confidence in their
relationship.
If you would like a tour guide movie to
explore these mountains from your own home, this is for you. The scenery is very beautiful but there
is little dialogue and the tiny incident seemed to be resolved quickly but is
dramatized for effect. There is no
“thriller” in this movie? 2* (I
didn’t like this movie)
113 min, Thriller directed by Julie
Loktev with Gael Garcia Bernal, Hani Furstenberg, Bidzina Gujabidze.
Note: Blockbuster
4*, imdb 5.5 out of 10, 69% critic 33% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
Special Note:
Was the purpose of this movie an excuse for the movie team to go on a
paid for exploration?
