The story takes place in Tiflis, where Pirosmani survives by painting his simple yet joyful pictures for the local taverns and cafes, asking only drink and food as his meager compensation. He is misunderstood by the townsfolk, yet his own reclusive manner heightens the neglect he suffers. In one remarkable episode, Pirosmani is asked by the local dignitaries to say a few words-almost mute, he sketches a teahouse filled with art instead. Avtandil Varazi, who plays Pirosmani, seems to fathom the understated currents of this self- taught artist, perhaps because he too is a painter. Epitomizing the particularities of Georgian culture in paintings that are naive yet insightful, the canvases themselves are still the surest doorway to Pirosmani's private world"--Steve Seid, Pacific Film Archive program note (July 15, 1998). 546 In Georgian, Russian and French with English subtitles. 590 PFA 3500-01-5798. |aCONDITION NOTE: Last inspected: 2008/ 03/05 Very good condition; nice brown color; light scratches|aCONDITION NOTE: 2014/10/05 gc; good condition; minor wear at lab reels 3/4 assembly junction, probably old; warp (2) 600 10 Pʻirosmanašvili, Niko,|d1862?-1918|vDrama. 650 0 Artists|zGeorgia (Republic)|vDrama. 655 7 Features.|2mim 655 7 Biographies.|2mim 690 0 Georgian films. 690 0 Russian films. 700 1 Shengelai︠a︡, Georgiĭ,|d1937- 700 1 Kvaratskhelia, S. 700 1 Akhvlediani, Ėrlom,|d1933- 700 1 Apryatin, Konstantin. 700 1 Margievi, Dudar. 700 1 Rekhviashvili, Aleksandr. 700 1 Arabidze, Vaso. 700 1 Varazi, Avtandil. 700 1 Gabunii︠a︡, N.|q(Nodar) 700 1 Kukhianidze, Vakhtang. 700 1 Abašiże, Dodo,|d1924-1990 700 1 Bahashvili, S. 700 1 Beridze, Teimuraz. 700 1 Daushvili, Kote. 700 1 Gvaramadze, Margo. 710 2 Kinostudia Kʻartʻuli Pʻilmi. 935 GLADN51199494 946 PFA 3500-01-5798.
