Georgia’s Oscar-nominated director Zaza Urushadze is premiering his latest feature The Confession at the Warsaw International Film Festival today.
Urushadze’s drama about a priest encountering a beautiful local woman in a small village community is in the International Competition of the festival’s 33th edition.
With a cast led by Dimitri Tatishvili, Sophia Sebiskveradze and Joseph Khvelidze, the work will follow Giorgi, a priest and former filmmaker arriving to a small village parish he is to serve.
Opening the doors of a village church for film screenings, he hears the villagers compare Marilyn Monroe in Some Like it Hot to a local woman during one cinema session.
Father Giorgi later meets the woman in question himself, and sees his devout service tested by her attractiveness.
