DAY IS LONGER THAN NIGHT
Homage
A ballad, formally speaking, this film delivers breath-taking nature footage, opulent folklore and ironic ruptures. The landscape is just as epic as the grand narrative here, which serves as a backdrop for the tale of personal destiny at the heart of the action. Towering mountains, expansive rolling hills, tiny villages: home to Eva, who falls deeply in love with Giorgi. Alas, their bond is jeopardised in a new world characterised by the confusion of revolution, new economic policies and collectivisation. The film's episodes feature folk songs as running commentary, performed by travelling actors. DAY IS LONGER THAN NIGHT was featured in the competition section at Cannes in 1984.
