Georgian film "Blind Dates" directed by Levan Koguashvili, 2013. I cannot say that I am delighted, but the film is not bad, recalls the Georgian films of the first films of Otar Ioseliani. I liked this movie better than his previous film, "Trubbers." A little, as it seemed to me, the director overdoes, showing the life of his heroes - he is very gray and unsightly, bright colors practically do not appear in the frame, only at the end one heroine puts on an orange jumper, which looks like a symbol of her liberation, or what (from all men). This is the story of two 40-year-old bachelors, unsuccessfully trying to arrange their personal lives, being rather unsuccessful and absolutely moneyless, both work at school - Sandro as a history teacher, his friend Iva - coach of the women's football team. Only the presence of this sign of time (women's football) suggests that the action is taking place these days. In the end, the main character Sandro meets, almost for a moment, his love and it seems even mutual, but life circumstances again develop not in favor of the characters. However, despite all this hopeless grayness, there is no sense of hopelessness in the end.
