declare: this is for you from Georgia, the most sensual
and smart part of the region.
However, no one expected that the first anti-Soviet
film would be preceded by the first anti-Soviet terroristic
performance: that the lead in Monanieba would flee from
the scene of the movie to hijack a plane with his friends.
On November 18, 1983, rebellious teenager Gega Kobakhidze
(playing Tornike in the movie), who resisted the
Soviet regime, was sentenced to capital punishment together
with his friends.
The footage of “Monanieba” shot in Batumi – more
than 5 000 frames – became useless afterwards. The
movie production stopped and later continued but the
tape of the finished film was stored on a shelf for three
years. They say that Tengiz Abuladze kept a copy of the
tape under his pillow.
Everyone witnessed and heard about what happened
afterwards: perestroika and The Repentance with an exceptional
record of success at film festivals, including
winning the most prestigious awards of Cannes Festival
in 1987 – the Grand Prize of the Jury and the International
Federation of Film Critics (FIPRESCI) Prize.
Honorary titles from dozens of other film festivals,
awards for best actor, best art direction, metaphors, allegory,
truth and daguerreotypes, and for the true stories
of widows and tortured women recorded live; for children
torn away from parent’s chest and exiled, for people who
grew up fatherless, and the award for it to never happen
again.
Tengiz Abuladze died on March 6, 1994. The civil war
had already ended and Abkhazia had already been lost.
There’s a whole life ahead.
