L'héritage (2006) Reviews
Tense, Absorbing Psychological Thriller
I think this a lot more complete than 13 Tzameti. It has a more focused social and political message, is subtle in its approach, and once again excellent acting and interesting faces. I love films with "ugly" actors and unknown faces like a poser loves his Etnies. Tension is built through the laconic dialog and sparse details about the plot (in a similar way to the Russian film The Return). No back story, apart form a couple of lines, it leaves it all enigmatic and leaves you wanting for more (a good thing in my book). Once again it leaves you with the feeling it could have been even more intriguing, but not to the extent that Tzameti did. A very interesting director who should be watched unless he takes the Hollywood route which hes already on.
Grateful Legatee
It's probably just as well that this minor gem is unlikely to play the Multiplex circuit because the unsubtle pun in the title would almost certainly elude that target audience. Ostensibly Sylvie Testud - the only 'name' in the cast for non-Georgian audiences - has inherited a piece of property in a remote part of Georgia and has turned up in Tblisi to claim it accompanied by two friends who are also French. The description of the property - a château badly in need of repair - proves that Estate Agents are the same the world over when it turns out to be literally a ruin but the film is primarily concerned with another kind of legacy the first inkling of which comes when an elderly man and his grandson board the dilapidated bus on which the trio are making the two-day journey together with an interpreter. The newcomers have a large piece of luggage with them in the shape of a coffin which, it transpires, is to be utilised by the grandfather at the end of the journey; they are, in fact, travelling to the village of a family involved in a long-standing feud with the family represented by the grandfather and grandson and there the grandfather will be killed as a bizarre debt of honour. At this stage we may be reminded of Hemingway's Swede in The Killers, who also refused to run from a death he found justified. This is a very engaging film taken at a slow pace with well thought out diversions along the way - in Tblisi a video camera is stolen blatantly in broad daylight from one of the trio and the interpreter introduces them to a man who sells it back to them; a mute who is something of a local entrepreneur turns out to be able to speak and offers the trio a grandstand view of the killing from his own property etc - but clearly will not appeal to everyone. I hope it succeeds in finding its audience.
excellent
After watching tzameti (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0475169/) and having such a great emotions I expected to be disappointed with this film but Babluani did his best to avoid this. I definitely think that he is the best Director within last years. this movie keeps you tense and at the same time it includes humor. Great Characters, great cast, great idea. the title is about the strange heritage the boy gets from his grandfather. I hope that people will understand the main idea, and the strangeness of this particular Vendetta. this is the movie about people from Georgian region who have their own understanding of fairness and dignity. and old man is sacrificing his life to finish the Vendeta between two families. but at last moment fate decides the other way... I strongly recommend this movie. I am sure you wont be disappointed. especially if you like movies that makes you feel.
They are waiting to kill grandpa.
It's a slow film, but one that will grab your interest and keep you hooked until the end. The plan to go to inherited property takes a backseat to another adventure that the group stumbles upon. A grandfather is heading to his village to be killed to settle a blood feud between families that currently stands at 4-3. There is an interesting twist at the moment the score is to be settled that makes it very interesting. There were no standout performances, and the ending was very strange, but it was enjoyable for the story.
The castle
Three young French friends go to Georgia, a former Soviet republic, to claim a castle that belonged to a relative. Since they don't know the language, the trio arrange for a local guide, Nikolai, to help them getting there. Little prepare them for what they will find on the road to their destination. Nikolai, who has a car, tells them of a bus trip that will take two days to get to the area where the castle is located. As they embark on the trip, an old man and his grandson board the bus carrying a coffin. Puzzled about the strangeness of seeing the men bringing this object on the bus, it is revealed the old man has offered himself to be killed in order to settle a feud between two families. Instead of continuing to their final destination, Nikolai convinces the group to accompany the natives to see if peace is restored, ending the family feud. The old man's clan has killed four of their enemies, and now he is offering himself because he is at the end of his life, instead of that of the grandson, who is too young to die. Nothing prepares the tourists for what they are about to witness. Unfortunately, when they reach their destination, the visitors are flabbergasted because of the state of ruin of the property in the legacy! This is an intriguing film directed by Georgian filmmakers Gela and Temur Babluani. It is a weird tale of tribal struggle where revenge is a way to save one's family honor. The picture has a road movie feeling as things happen along the road that will change forever the young people that have come to see their legacy, but encounter an experience they'll never forget. Pascal Bongard, who plays Nikolai, is about the only one that has an opportunity. Leo Gaparidze, the old man, makes a dignified appearance. Sylvie Testud, Stanislas Merhar, and Olga Legrand, the French tourists don't have much to do. George Babluani has some effective moments. The Georgian countryside is photographed lovingly by Tariel Meliava.
