"Wrestle with me." Kino Lorber has unveiled an official US trailer for the film Brighton 4th, a dramedy from the country of Georgia made by filmmaker / Olympic champion Levan Tediashvili - who stars in and directs the film. This first premiered at the 2021 Tribeca Film Festival earlier this year, where it won three awards - Best International Film, Best Actor, and Best Screenplay. A former Olympic wrestler from Tbilisi helps his adult son in Brighton Beach to get his life on track. A Georgian wrestler, Kakhi, arrives in Brooklyn to discover his son has a gambling debt with a local Russian mob boss. Tediashvili stars as Kakhi, with a cast including Giorgi Tabidze, Kakhi Kavsadze, Nadia Mikhalkova, Irakli Kavsadze, Tornike Bziava, and Anastasia Romashko. The film features cinematography by the talented Dp Phedon Papamichael, and is also Georgia’s official submission to the 94th Academy Awards (coming next year). This looks solid!

“Brighton 4th” tells a gentle, naturalistic story of parental devotion and sacrifice, unfolding mostly in the former Soviet émigré enclave of Brighton Beach, N.Y. The tragicomedy nabbed a trifecta of awards at the recent Tribeca Festival, including best international narrative feature, screenplay and actor. It marks the third fiction outing by Georgian helmer Levan Koguashvili (“Blind Dates”) and follows a former Olympic wrestling champ from Tbilisi who goes to New York to help his adult son get his life back on track. The tender screenplay by Boris Frumin captures characters living in the new world in much the same fashion as they did in the old. It also offers a touching showcase for Levan Tediashvili, a non-professional actor and real-life wrestler. Boutique art-house distributors should take a look at this festival favorite.

Just a heads up to everyone that follows these articles each Sunday. I will be in France for the Cannes Film Festival for the next two Sundays and I have no way of predicting just how exactly this article will turn out for the next two weeks. I will certainly post something wo you have a place to post, share and discuss what you watched, but my contribution may be limited.
I may just post links to the coverage of the Festival to that point as I hope to be reviewing and watching a lot of movies, but perhaps a couple of those won't get their own article and will wind up here. Nevertheless, just a heads up so you know what to expect. Now for this week's movies...

You all remember this title, right? But we are here today to talk about Burnt by the Sun 2, or, a sequel to well known Nikita Mikhalkov’s 1994 film.
Burnt By The Sun 2: Exodus
This Russian drama film is scheduled to compete for the Golden Palm at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival.
It’s a World War II epic with a budget of 55 million dollars, which makes it the most expensive Russian film ever since Soviet times! The sequel was divided into 2 parts: Burnt by the Sun 2: Exodus and Burnt by the Sun 3: The Citadel.
So, the film is about an aged professor and his wife, the pre-revolutionary intellectuals, and of a military leader, the hero of the Bolshevik revolution and Civil War, as well of his young wife and charming little daughter. There is also a family friend-turned traitor and executioner of the family.
A summer day of 1936 begins carelessly and calmly,...
