Dear friends,
Today’s pick is one of the best movies I’ve seen this year, it was added to Amazon Prime yesterday.
And Then We Danced
New on Amazon Prime this week.
Georgian dance has cut-throat competition: the art form is dying even within Gerogia, and to make it, dancers compete to join the one duo that represents the country. The chance finally comes and the spot opens up, igniting the hopes of performers from around the country.
Mervan is one of them, a young dancer from a poor background who takes food from his restaurant job to feed his family. His main competition is a newcomer, Irakli, who also comes from a difficult background and hopes to secure the spot to provide for his ill father.
When their lives hang on them competing against one another, Mervan and Irakli fall for each other.
Alternatives you might like
In the theme of dance movies, Climax, also on Amazon Prime, is a French movie with a gorgeous first half and a twisted second half.
For another movie from Georgia, My Happy Family on Netflix is a wonderful drama about a middle-aged woman who decides to leave her family home.
Talk on Friday,
Bilal
