Favourites of the Moon
The story revolves around 2 things, an unusual set of 18th-century Limoges china, and a 19th century polished picture. As these things are passed, marketed, or stolen from one character to an additional, a woozy round dancing of excess starts to take shape, one which recommends that if history doesn't duplicate itself, it absolutely rhymes. Together with co-writer Gérard Brach, whose various other co-writing credit histories consist of Repulsion as well as Tess, Otar Iosseliani uses a feather-light touch to expose the futility of class and social order, making a bagatelle of the problems of rich and bad alike.
