The Machine Which Makes Everything Disappear - Tinatin Gurchiani

Georgian documentary film.  Wonderful naive technique - hand-held camera, some long stationary shots around the city as people move in and out of the frame, moving shots from cars, trains and buses.  An almost random look into the lives of several people from 13 to 50, who present themselves for a screen test. Each section begins with an interview (against a wonderfully textured old wall), and then moves to some kind of sequence related to the life of the interviewed person.  From villages of old people to techno clubs of the young, from bucolic to emotionally disturbing.  Also has a wonderful, though unobtrusive, musical sound track.
Brilliant
