Showing Exclusively at Golden Age in Sydney
Overview
Exclusive to Golden Age in Sydney, Dry Leaf is a beautiful, dreamy road trip through the magical Georgian countryside shot entirely on an old phone by director Alexandre Koberidze (What Do We See When We Look at the Sky). Lisa, a sports photographer interested in Georgia’s rural football pitches, is missing and doesn’t want to be found. Lisa’s worried father, Irakli (David Koberidze, the director’s real father), goes out looking for her with her best friend Levani (Otar Nijaradze) who, like many people in this film, is invisible. The road takes them past many goalposts, people, animals and dreams.
“Impressionistic, richly colourful... a sublime film”
“New, eternal cinema”
“An inducement to wonder”
Why You Should See This Film
Evoking the impressionistic approaches of Claude Monet with extremely low resolution video, Dry Leaf is one of the most innovative and visually stunning films of recent memory (we’re not kidding). The film is named after a technique coined by the Brazilian footballer Didi: a shot that, like the trajectory of a falling leaf, cannot be predicted by goalie nor shooter. Dry Leaf entirely embodies this ethos: the characters, filmmakers and even we, the audience, show up and submit ourselves to the direction of the wind. It's one of our favourites of the year, hands down.
