"Chasing Butterflies"
1992
Directed by Otar Iosseliani

A whimsical comedy of social decay from one of the least-known masters of world cinema. Set in a charming French village sealed off from modern life, the contemporary world begins to intrude via radio reports of terrorism, foreigners snapping up property and greedy relatives settling in. Narda Blanchett stars in this formally beautiful yet unsentimentally nostalgic film. French with English subtitles.
115 minutes.
