I watched a movie called მონანიება /monanieba/, which means “repentance” in the Georgian Language (Kartuli is the endonym, i.e. what the speakers call their own language). I really like this movie… for a long time I was unable to find it, but I recently found it and downloaded it. I first saw it shortly after it was originally released, a product of the lead-in to Gorbochev’s perestroika period, mid 80’s. Very intense, symbolic movie about that most famous of Georgians: Stalin.
I actually tried studying Kartuli, once. I got as far as memorizing the alphabet and learning some basic verb and noun forms. Maybe someday I’ll go there. I could continue my career as a professional cultural imperialist (i.e. EFL teacher).
