And the Sun Rises

About This Movie

And the Sun Rises is an intense character study, really. It dives deep into the fraught dynamics between Nika and his father Sandro, who, despite being paralyzed, has this overwhelming, toxic presence. The setting—a shabby suburban house near Tbilisi—really amplifies the tension, almost becoming a character itself. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the viewer to soak in the emotional weight of their interactions. Nastya's entrance adds another layer, bringing light but also conflict. The performances stand out; you can feel the rawness in their exchanges. It’s gripping how the film explores themes of care, manipulation, and the struggle for autonomy. A unique piece that lingers in your mind long after the credits roll.
