"Late Marriage"
2001
Directed by Dover Kosashvili

Set among the society of Georgian immigrants in Israel, Late Marriage is the funny, sad and sexy story of a 31-year-old man involved in a passionate affair with a divorced mother. His tradition-bound parents disapprove and try to find an appropriate wife for him. A culturally detailed, character-driven comedy-drama, with great performances and one of the most memorable love scenes of recent years. "...an unforgettable look at morality, family, and social expectation..." (Loren King, Boston Globe). Georgian and Hebrew with English subtitles.  100 minutes.
