Retrospective at Arsenal Berlin, March 2012: PASTORALI (The Summer in the Country, USSR 1975) – A quartet from the city spends a summer in a village. A family rents out an attic room to them and the children are drawn to the musicians. Iosseliani tells this story without lifting the pretense of the narration, multiplies it and brings in all kinds of new beginnings of other stories. “A film of dreamily beautiful black & white faces and the sounds of folk instruments, with animal sounds instead of dialogue, and patient, almost silent sequences of characters going after their daily chores rather than any driving plot-line.” (Ilya Grigorev). Source: https://www.arsenal-berlin.de/en/arsenal-cinema/past-programs/single/article/3271/2804/archive/2012/march.html
