Temo Re

Temo Re follows Temo, an unemployed actor, who travels 100 kilometers daily on his scooter as a delivery man. This poignant black and white film is based on the novel Courier’s Tales by Temo Rekhviashvili, who plays himself. Anka Gujabidze combines humor with a sobering examination of poverty, corruption, and estrangement in Tbilisi. The film captures the stark contrasts of the Georgian capital, blending personal struggles with broader social issues.

The documentary-drama hybrid offers a unique perspective on life in contemporary Georgia. It presents a raw and authentic look at the challenges faced by many in a city that is both beautiful and decayed. Collectors interested in international cinema, especially works that provide social commentary, may find Temo Re an intriguing addition to their library.
