So, 'The City Was Asleep and It Had a Dream' is this fascinating documentary that dives deep into post-Soviet Georgia, specifically Tbilisi. The film captures how the chaos of the Soviet collapse reshaped the city’s architecture – it's both haunting and beautiful. You see these haphazard extensions and half-finished buildings, which create this palpable tension between what was and what is. The pacing is quite contemplative, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere, almost like wandering through a living museum. The film doesn’t just focus on bricks and mortar; it hints at the human stories behind these structures, revealing a deeper sense of identity and resilience. It feels raw and real, a compelling visual essay on decay and rebirth.
