Otar Iosseliani, le merle siffleur (2006) Julie Bertuccelli

His look is free, light, offbeat and sovereign. Otar Iosseliani, an unclassifiable, almost elusive director, is making a new film, Jardins dAutomne. Julie Bertuccelli decided to follow her mentor and friend in her new creation, to accompany him in his strange treasure hunt. The film shows the Georgian poet s staging work and shares his artistic doubts with us. Thus, Otar Iosseliani, burlesque and satirical filmmaker, draws us into his gentle madness, his intoxication, his disenchantment and his melancholy.
