Blackbird Blackbird Blackberry is entirely led by its central actor who plays a woman with a particular idea about life. Single for 48 years, she is shielded from the comments, opinions, and expectations of the society, and more importantly, her close circle of girlfriends who are all married, with kids. However, things take a turn when a man enters her life and she lets him. This is a poignant drama about longing and loneliness, set in a remote Georgian village that gets excited at the mention of a shopping mall. Some wry humour, lots of full nudity, and a few metaphors are all what you'll find in this dreamy, meandering film that aims to show what happens when life suddenly happens. I love the lead actor and I hope we get to see more of her.
