Street Days

Street Days Georgian , translit.Kuchis dgeebi is a 2010 Georgian drama film directed by Levan Koguashvili. The film was selected as the Georgian entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 83rd Academy Awards, but didnt make the final shortlist.

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. Stylistically and thematically reminiscent of new Romanian cinema, the pic plumbs the contentious, corrupt and crumbling social landscape of Georgias capital, Tbilisi, while following a downattheheels heroin addict struggling to protect a friends son from corrupt cops. Lensed with impressive assurance and boasting powerful perfs from a combo of established pros and nonpros, Street Days looks poised to lead a Georgian renaissance spearheaded by fests and advancing into the arthouse circuit. VarietyLevan Koguashvilis feature debut is a wellcrafted, hardedged look at life in contemporary Tblisi which is much more refined and profound than the scenes of ethnic strife which 24hournews organisations loop from Georgia.
