Adieu, Plancher Des Vaches (Region 1) - Iosseliani, Otar
Releasedatum: 2 mei 2006
Winner of the Prestigious European Critics Award (Prix FIPRESCI), Otar Iosseliani's Farewell, Home Sweet Home is a stunningly poetic, surrealist comedy of family manners and class consciousness.
In a suburban Parisian chateau, a lovable souse (played by Iosseliani himself) fools around with his electric train set while his wife, a high-powered businesswoman, entertains her society friends with a gigantic stork perched on her shoulder. Meanwhile, the couple's teenage son forsakes the family chateau for café "society" preferring the company of its denizens -- Parisian dropouts, immigrants, and street thugs -- to home life.
Told in a series of sublime vignettes, the seemingly disparate narrative threads are linked via tracking shots of breathtaking beauty. Combining the class-conscious irony of Luis Buńuel and the near-silent comedy of Jacques Tati, Time Out magazine's Film Guide hails Iosseliani's Farewell, Home Sweet Home as a "hugely charming piece, wondrously inventive, consistently witty, engaging in its devotion to the joys of wine, women and song."
