Street Days/ ქუჩის დღეები

Georgian cinema has a new star in director Levan Koguashvili, whose superb neorealist drama, “Street Days,” is just the calling card the beleaguered country needs.

Variety

Absurdity and despair, in equal measure, infuse the decaying urban landscape of the Tbilisi-set "Street Days."

The Hollywood Reporter

Koguashvili is able to synchronize and balance comic gestures and a depressive reality and, in Kusturician fashion, make a caricature that does not sacrifice narrative flow or the verisimilitude of the story.

The East European Film Bulletin

Levan Koguashvili's feature debut is a well-crafted, hard-edged look at life in contemporary Tbilisi which is more refined and profound than the scenes of ethnic strife which 24-hour-news organisations loop from Georgia.

Screen Daily

It is a reflection of a generation brought up in the soviet style, who were in their early twenties after the fall of the Soviet Union and are incapable of adapting to all of the socio-political and economic changes.

Koguashvili’s fine eye for character and intergenerational relationships gives depth to this drama in which, more often than not, it is the women—teachers, medical workers, or family members—who hold society together, balancing men’s foibles.
